My first few fledging attempts at photography

I have always enjoyed taking pictures, but only ever had a cheap point and shoot camera.  This year for Christmas my husband surprised me and bought me an awesome camera - Panasonic DMC-GF3.  I will be giving a review on it in a future post.  I am loving it and decided to do a 365 project.  I am posting my pictures on 365project.org and decided to blog about my photo journey as well.

Here are some pictures I have taken of my children over the past couple of months.

In this picture I was trying out taking a picture with the afternoon sunlight behind him. 

I caught her day dreaming at the park in this picture.

I love this picture!  She was dancing and singing and I just happened to snap the picture right as she looked at me with this great smile on her face.  I also love the fence on the right that is slightly defocused.  I only have one lens and the aperture on it is 3.5 - 5.6 so I can't as much of a blurry background as I sometimes want, but I really like the way it looks in this picture.

I took this picture as he was throwing snow in the air - check out that expression on his face!
