QUOTE:
"The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it." - Ansel Adams
As I've been blogging, I realize that many of the quotes I find come from an early photographer named Ansel Adams. The man was evidently wise in the ways of photography. This quote shows how insiginificant a camera can be if the user does not know how to operate it. You can take high quality pictures with Canon 1D X, but if you are taking overexposed pictures of the sky, there is no beauty in it. What I'm trying to say is, even if you aren't content with the camera you have, you can still take good photos if you learn to know what you are doing.
In this blog, I've selected a few of the photos from my first day with my new camera (Canon EOS Rebe T5). When I first got my camera, I was so excited. I opened it as quick as I could and putting the lens on, connected my strap, and then realized that the battery would have to charge before I could take any pictures. I read in the manual that it would take an agonizing TWO HOURS to charge. My excitement soon turned to lament. But there was nothing I could do about it. I suppose God gave me a lesson in patience. ;) Anyways, I hope you enjoy these pictures. :)

| My sister was making quesadillas the night that I got my camera, and I looked at it as a photo opportunity. In this shot, I wanted to get the aspect of my sister working on them (Thank you, Kendra! They were delicious!) ;) |

| Something I had always wanted to do with my camera... Bokeh in a glared sunset. I hadn't been able to do it with my first camera, so the day I got my camera, the sunset looked pretty good and I was able to accomplish it :) |

| Dandelions have always amazed me. :) I like how intricate each seed is, and how you can blow them away like dust. Someday, I hope to get a picture of someone blowing the seeds off of a dandelion, but this will have to work for now :P |
For the Fourth of July, to celebrate our nation's birthday, we went to Arkansas and went tubing on Beaver Lake, then went to Eureka Springs for some shopping and dinner. :) God greatly blesses me, and I'm so thankful to Him. Until next time, I'm out. :)
