I suppose I went about this the wrong way. I was reading more about the manual side of my camera tonight and apertures and shutter speeds. I get antsy when reading so I walked around the block and snapped a few photos. I should really start out in daylight. I also tried to get a tripod this weekend but I wasn't prepared for how much they cost. Maybe next paycheck but not this one. All the shots tonight were crap but I think I am starting to understand more about things. I just get board of reading sometimes and I tend to learn more by fucking up and learning from my mistakes.
