Getting to Know my Camera

Everything I have read from photographers that have taught themselves have said you go through phases. The you just really suck at using your camera so your pictures just aren't good. CHECK! You try to compensate by over editing your pictures to fix them. CHECK! So the next step according to her is... to actually get to know your camera and actually start taking good pictures. So it was really funny reading this because while I went through my pictures I could see the differences in the pictures. So yesterday at sun set around 6, my family went for a drive to help me practice. Most of these pictures are only enhanced with an unsharp mask and curves adjustment. NO ACTIONS were run on any of them. That was the challenge from this photographer. As much as I love them, it is true, I need to get the basic knowledge of my camera before I can start using actions. Every photographer says they can tell in a picture whether or not a person knows how to use their camera or not. So on that note here are the pictures I took.
