Semi Pro

So, here is my first attempt at being a real photographer.

At first, I was so excited about my pictures and thought I had gotten many good ones, but the next day, I realized that must have been the champagne talking. I was really disappointed in myself and my abilities. A lot of my pictures were just plain bad, either because they were blurry or grainy or some other reason. Then, I realized, I became so focused on getting what the photographer was getting, that I didn't really do my own thing. I am not sure why I did that. Then, I used up my first memory card during family photos and my other one was left at home, so I missed getting pictures of the bride and groom by themselves, their entrance, first dance, and speeches while I drove to CVS to buy another one! I was so bummed. So, after I wallowed in my self pity, I did the best I could and edited my favorites. There actually turned out to be quite a handful of good ones, I think.

To add to my nervousness about these photos, I noticed some where dark on my computer at work, but they looked fine at home. I asked a few people, including the bride and they say they are fine. So, I am not sure if I am over reacting or not. I can't even tell what one is true now! I darkened my monitor at home to match my monitor at work, but that messes with photos that looked fine on both before, so I am confused! Oh well; I will figure it out someday.
