Rabbitstick~

We have just returned from our annual Rabbitstick trip...We took David Holiday up with us this year, he needed a ride, and it worked out that he could come with us so we picked him up and hit the road! David Holiday is a legend in the Rabbitstick world... he is a big time Survival Expert and even helped in the Movie CastAway...

We stopped by Brooke and Matt's place so I could borrow Brookes camera... I have just started working for Eastman Adams Photography, taking school pictures, so I am REALLY getting to know the camera well, like I've always wanted too!! I thought Rabbitstick would be the perfect place to do some practicing,... so until I get my own NICE camera I will borrow Brookes!!

So... this post is actually more for my own sake of comparing all the pics I took over the weekend... 

I took every pic manually so I set all :settings: The ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed! For a Rookie I am pretty happy with how they turned out

-too dark-

We stopped at a Rest Stop just as the Sun was setting, got a few ok pics here

playing with the shutter speed

I sat down by the fire and was messing with the Aperture, I'm struggling the most with understand this one...

Zoomed in and adjusted a few things... better

a few pretty shots of the farm fields, gotta love Idaho!!!

we had a lotta fun, and I'm glad I was able to play with the camera! I've always loved photography and feel I have a pretty good eye for it, I did A LOT of reading and did less shooting than I wanted to but got a few pics and am understanding the camera better..

 I'm super excited to start working again and to do something I am in to!
