This thread is so interesting! I bookmarked it. I am wanting to learn a lot more about my camera, as to be honest, I haven't done much except use auto or sports or portrait mode. I'm pretty happy with my photos (especially for basically putting in zero effort), but know I can do sooo much more and sooo much better! So I'm finally taking the plunge in learning how to use it in other ways. The Christmas pictures that I took of Jackson were using AV mode and it was the first time I ever messed with it, and I was much happier with how they turned out than previous pictures.
I've always wanted to do a 52 weeks photo-thingy, but I probably won't join any groups or anything, but I want to make a goal to take a photo of Jackson every week for 2013. I also love seeing Amanda's Izzie thread and photos!
