Photgraphy

My quest for 2013 get to know my camera, be able to pick it up and know what settings are without thinking about it. I have been shooting pictures only in manual, learning as much as I can. Some things are clicking, but im a slow learner, I watch lots of youtube videos. I just signed up for a online class, Shooting 101 through Clickin Moms. I am SO excited!! I hear this class will be awesome and really helpful to reach my goal of getting to know my camera.

A few pictures from the last few weeks:

I had a handful of pictures from our hike today that had this dreamy look. I fwd it to my friend who is into photography and asked How did I get this?? She said something about backlight and then I got lost :-) Love all the pics with this dreamy look to them! Yeah for dumb luck!
