I participate in an online photography board and I feel that the bar is set so high - my photos totally suck compared to what I see on there, and I'm always comparing myself to others. I'm trying to define my own style of late, and improve my skills. This is the first time I've picked up my camera with the intent of taking pictures (not just snapshots) in about 2 months. *sigh* Feeling blah today - melancholy for a variety of reasons. These make me want to practice more. Ok, I'm rambling....

And practicing tonight with my speedlight and diffuser. I feel like I'm getting a bit of a handle on this whole blasted flash thing. Nala was a willing subject....for a few minutes anyway.
White balance is a little better in this one:
Last one...thanks for looking. :)

word to the wise; If you tell yourself you are worthless; you're right. If you tell yourself you're the next Annie Leibovitz you're right...please don't diminish your value to the world...
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
If the bar was too low you'd never be challenged, never stretch, and never grow...
you are highly skilled and accomplished...grow and glow lassie, grow and glow!!
Hey, whenever you need a self esteem booster, just look at my pictures. They always suck. :)
I really do love all your pics though. they are always so cute! I will always be here to be an avid picture previewer
Tammi, your pictures are wonderful. You have such a creative eye. Because of your pictures, I get to enjoy what my grandsons do even though I'm many miles away.
Thank you for the joy they give me.
Love MOM
Hey Tammi,
Don't worry so much about comparing yourself with the people on your board. Just do your thing and let your skills flow. There’s a lot of us who already see how AWESOME you are as a photographer, now it’s your turn.
Totally agree with all that has been said. You are an awesome photographer. Sometimes, it's hard to see our own work as professional/good enough. But you really are good. It's natural for you. Not only do you have a good eye for capturing the photos, but you have the skills to make them turn out good. I wish I had half the talent you do... but I'm working on it! Keep up the good work!
