They just know it.<br /><br />I guess I just look around but I miss things, too. When I was in Rome the girls were forever pointing out things to me. <br />They'd say "There's a Kristin shot!" and I had totally overlooked it. <br /><br />When I'm in a cemetery I look for moss on statues or areas that are older. I always look for statues and crosses.<br /><br />When I'm out on the street doing a neighborhood walk I look for statuary/birdbaths or unusual doors or unusual colors.<br /><br />When I look at a plant I look to see if a small part of it looks unusual or would look great in a photo. I hold the camera up to my face a dozen times before I actually take the shot if at all. If it doesn't look good in the viewfinder I don't take the picture.<br />Sometimes when I'm with people and we are quickly going through places, I just take pictures of everything I see. I don't try to find the perfect shot, I just want to document it and hope that I can find some good shots. I don't want to slow anyone down, but I don't want to miss coolness either :) and I also just put the settings on auto. <br /><br />Now that I've learned a little bit about shooting in manual mode, I am taking much more time in composing my shots and I'm using the 50mm lens which I just love, but has a very limited view. You can't just guess the shot with that little lens. <br /><br />I honestly can't take pictures of people. I can't see them in the frame. I don't notice their expressions or hand placement or even if everyone is in frame. I think we all have a way of seeing. I hope to be able to someday take pictures of people, weddings, etc, but that is something I'm going to have to learn how to do.Kristin - The Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856336718919208752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865153402965095677.post-1734273151513267992011-01-28T21:56:58.866-05:002011-01-28T21:56:58.866-05:00HAHA great desciption!

I wish I could see things through your eyes or at least try! It's like I'm going through life blindly! lolRuth Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568017190120770889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865153402965095677.post-44087071462855478872011-01-28T19:37:15.767-05:002011-01-28T19:37:15.767-05:00What is our plump angel holding?
