Looking at other friends' flickrs makes me so inspired by the level of artistic ability within their cameras. I always admire it and hope to one day be able to capture something just as beautiful just as well ast they did. Perhaps I'm underestimating the capability of my standard Nikon lens can do and am not making full use of it. Either way, I looked at some past pictures on my flickr and realized some sort of progression: the level of editing on my pictures.
Ever since I (illegally) downloaded Adobe Lightroom, I've been loving the editing process more and more. Sometimes, I'm in a rush to edit the pictures and just lazily press "auto" on the lighting and whatnot, but sometimes I like playing around with the colors and the brush that is being used. I love what the program allows me to do and it definitely helps out with things that my camera can't do alone without the computer.
I can't wait until I have electives available to me. I'm definitely going to take digital photography and learn so much more than I already do on my own. I learned so much just from the experience of others as well as the internet, but at this point, I just feel limited by the size of the camera and the lack of aperture in my lenses. I want to be able to experiment with expensive lenses and learn how to fully use Lightroom instead of just pressing "auto". Too bad this won't happen until my fourth year here at Northeastern.
