Taking Inside Pictures

Sometimes when I am scrolling through the many pictures on Pinterest, I come upon an actually helpful Pin..




This morning was that kind of morning.  as some of you know, I am learning a new camera...my first DSLR.
And it does have it's challenges, especially when taking indoor pictures...
A little known fact..my dining room has NO windows...that's right NONE..NADA...it is located in the center of our house and has big openings to all of the other rooms so is not completely dark but.....to say the least, it has been a real challenge to take pictures in there..  and there are so many blogs about tablescapes that I would like to participate in but the quality has not been good enough....  so that is my sad story...LOL


This morning, it finally clicked as I read someone's blog about White Balance and Aperture......I am not good enough to teach you but will show you my first attempts with these new settings.....inside on a cloudy day...pretty good, don't you think?




I am so excited to see the colors of my china turn out as their true colors ....I know there is still a lot of experimenting but just wanted to show you these pictures...Maybe, just maybe I can now do a tablescape and be pleased with the colors.......

Anybody ready for a tea party?
