I Don’t Know How to Work My Camera

Pretty original title for a supposed photography blog, huh? Well, I’ll let you in on a big secret…this is only kind-of a photography blog. See, I just relocated to the West Coast (Best Coast?) for my husbands job. And now, I have nothing to do. Almost two months here and no job prospects yet. And y’all, I need something to do.

But I do love taking pictures. Always have. Last Christmas I made asked my husband to get me a “decent” DSLR camera. For those of you not in the know, DSLR means “digital single-lens reflex.” (I was also not in the know until I googled it this very moment.) To be very honest, the only reason I knew to even ask for this type of camera is that all of my friends with “cool” cameras had DSLR models.

So anyway, hubby delivered, and presented me with a beautiful Canon EOS Rebel T6. And, the associated Guide for Dummies book (no joke). It has many beautiful little buttons, and multiple shiny lenses…and I have no idea what any of them do.

So here’s the plan: I will learn how to use my camera and tell you…stuff. I would like to say photography-related stuff, but probably only tangentially. Y’all excited?
