Started to get into photography in 2013 when I got a new camera and decided I wanted to learn how to take good pictures in Manual mode. I wanted to be able to see peoples faces when the sun was behind them; to make the camera focus on what *I* wanted it to focus on not what it chose on its own; and to create the nice bokeh I kept seeing in photographs. So I started reading and taking classes to learn as much as I can and I'm thoroughly enjoying my photography journey so far. Lots of learning still to do which means I need lots of practice right!?
