OMG!
I am SO excited.
I first learned about Exposaroonie from Natasha and always wished I had
However, today I get this message on Twitter from @EmilyPie
Guess what is coming back!? http://emilypie.com @exposaroonie
YAY!!!!!
SH got me a Canon 40d for the honeymoon. The talent, it's still not there. Not by a long shot, especially not when you look at the photos submitted to the challenge. But here's the thing: I have a goal to get serious with my photography hobby. What better way to do it than jump head first into a challenge I'm GREATLY under qualified for?
On the site they say, "Whether you are a newbie or seasoned pro, this site is an excellent place to get inspired." It seems like such a great group of people who take part in these challenges. I don't have the fear of them bashing my lack of talent (you know, like what happens on Flickr all the time).
Learn more about Exposaroonie here, and about Ashley,Emily and Colleen* the awesome photographers (and women) who started the site/challenge. Thanks ladies, I can't wait to participate!
And because I need to add a picture to this post, here's a self portrait of me and Spike from the summer. It's not edited, I'm not wearing any makeup, my hair is a mess and my dog is a spaz but for some reason I LOVE this picture.
*Colleen, if there is any chance you are reading this I want you to know I have NOT forgotten to THANK YOU for the email you sent back about your 50mm and the awesome pics you put together on Flickr. You rock, in the best way!

Oh, I'm excited about this too...even if I'm nervous at the same time! I feel like there's no way my photos can stand up to some of those other photos.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have a 40d to shoot with, but maybe someday (do you like it? Is it intimidating?)
Ginger - there is NO way I can stand up to any of those other photos! I'm completely intimidated and overwhelmed by my 40d, but it's a huge goal of mine to learn to love it and use it the way it's meant to be used. We can be nervous together and then I can tell you to "shut up" when I see how great your photos are!
ReplyDeleteI have never taken any classes with a digital SLR and really have no clue how to properly use it. I'm used to shooting in B&W film I hand rolled myself. I figure the best way to learn is just get out there amongst talented people and soak up as much information as I can!
