Just a few months not practiced as much as I would like, I am a complete beginner out of every 10 pictures there is a decent one
I watch videos on Lynda and can play with the camera settings of auto and hopefully more time will bring more knowledge, I know a guy who was getting up at 6am and doing a lot of preparation to take a photo and his best photo was one he took at random.
 
 
I made myself a diy light tent i bought some artist canvas panels and made a box out of them about 20 x 16 inches and only paid something like £10 at most, it works and gives even light, and Photoshop is good for telling you in the information what settings you have used If your camera doesn't tell you which is good for keeping track of what aperture or shutter speed etc you used.
 
Me and my daughter went to cheap toy store as well, she has a creative streak and one of our projects was make up a mock website
For the toys we bought, only 8 but she likes to get involved and it keeps her creative mind going.
 
People are interesting, and snapping them in every day motion is good, i am a fan of snapping when they are living life normal, getting them in for a portrait shot to me it feels a tad fake and set up. what I find amazing about photography is that it grounds you
To earth it slows you down to look and appreciate things in life, to easy to walk past something but photography when lining up a shot
You look at things in a different light

@BrowserBugs it was tasty at the time, a lot of ice cream and chocolate sauce never did my belly much good ha ha.
