More photography

I have definitely found a new passion in photography.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am taking a class, along with my mom and sister, on digital photography.  I have learned so much in just a few weeks.  Enough that I think I have seen a difference in my photography abilities.  (Hopefully others see that as well)  I have discovered that I enjoy taking pictures of nature, flowers, rocks (yes rocks), trees, animals, etc.  Of course I enjoy taking pictures of the boys - I'm just not as good at that yet - I haven't mastered (well anything yet) but especially not things on the move - such as the boys.  I like to set all the settings on my own now, and am just a tad slow at it when it comes to capturing the constant movement of the boys.  I know I'll eventually get up to speed.  I know I've got a TON more to learn and can't wait to learn it.  Here are a few of my most recent shots.  I would love any feedback.  It's how you learn . . .

This is me taking the picture below - it gives you a sense of perspective.  I am loving ( and still learning to use) my new micro lens (another gift to myself).  If you click on the picture before you can see the details much better.
