So... dogs are ok... but so are no dogs? My dog sucks at being in photographs LOL

hahaha yup and I'll try my best to explain each challenge so none feel too intimidating. Honestly a few I have not done but always wanted to so I'll be learning with everyone.

Okay, that sounds good. I was actually hoping we wouldn't have to try to incorporate dogs into all of the challenges. Almost all of the pictures I have right now are of dogs, plus a few of kids. I'd really like to get started on working with other subjects and styles of photography!

I've been shooting in Creative Auto mode so I can change a lot of things but I really want to start shooting in Manual.

We should also start a photo critique thread....I have found those very helpful in the past.

Do it! I don't have any photos I'd feel comfortable putting up for critique (ie all my photos are in auto) or I would!

I intended to help lead critiques with this thread as well but a secondary thread with "the others" sounds great.

OH derp. Totally thought she meant for other photos that we just happened to take...

I'm in! I don't mind helping with anything .

I totally meant for other photos that we have already taken to get a better idea of compostition(?). Whether we are shooting in auto modes or partial etc. I find that critiques have helped me get some better pictures and learn what to improve on.

But yah, we should totally do a seperate one for just Manual Shots.
