I just got an SLR this week! Also, I’m jealous of that particular version of Sometimes A Great Notion…the design of it looks way cooler than the version I have haha. The photo of the kid in the stripes is FANTASTIC
Great shots Cassie. I have always wanted to get into photography, but like you mentioned, it can be very intimidating. Also, cameras are expensive, yo!
No kidding. I was all prepared to drop a bunch of money… and then was completely surprised to get this as a Christmas gift. So I was lucky – now I can spend that money on a fancy lens! Totally worth the investment if you do it. And I suggest you do it!
I’m really pumped to have made it here via 20sb because your blog and those shots in this post are kind of awesome! I really liked that 5th shot and it took me a second to find all three Can’t wait to see your next batch and I’m looking to pick up a DSLR myself so I might be asking you lots of questions haha!
Oh, I love the idea of a monthly photos post. If I had any sort of passable camera I’d totally steal the idea. My phone camera is 90% selfies because sometimes I’m too lazy to go to the mirror to see if my eyeliner is smudged. What a life I lead.
I love the closeup of the tomato and the cat picture! And the one with the knees – so clever. The focus on interesting angles is awesome. I did photo camp for 2 years and that’s always what I liked to do. I think it’s really neat to see something from a different perspective than normal.
(Oh, and I love your lipstick in the first picture. That’s a great colour.)
Good choice on your camera. I have its predecessor, the D3100, and love it. With so many bloggers getting into photography, have you considered a virtual scavenger hunt, where a bunch of bloggers respond to a common prompt? You could do different types of photos, like landscape or macro, techniques, like panning or zoom blur, or subjects, like food or animals.
These are all incredible! I love how the composition of the first photo resembles a still life painting, and the fifth photo is just genius.
I’ve always admired photography, mainly because it’s a skill I don’t have but wish I did. I love how it’s all about observation–noticing little details that are often passed over and capturing fleeting moments.
Okay I am jealous of these shots. Not going to lie but these are amazing. You must be having so much fun with your new camera. I am the same way — I prefer doing the shot right the first time instead of editing it later on.
I used to be HORRIBLE at photography. It really is so nice to actually understand what you’re doing when it comes to shooting. You’re great at getting the focus in check! I have a Nikon also. Used to be downright afraid of it, but I guess we’re friends now. Great job, Cassie!

You must be having so much fun right now. Isn’t it glorious? I can’t wait to see more of your pickchasss.

I just got a Canon and like you, I’m obsessed with photographing everything. Great photos!
That’s awesome! You and me and a lot of other bloggers lately, it seems.
I love monthly photo wrap-ups, and I love food photography. You go girl!
And I love that red lipstick.
Thanks! Red lipstick just makes me feel instantly more confident. It’s a great shade.
I’ll be sure to take some more food photos.

Thanks for stopping by! You should absolutely get a DSLR. I recommend my Nikon D3200… great for beginners.
Great shots! I love the tomato, the map and the drawing hands reflected in the table.
Thanks! I was really pleased with the detail in the tomato photo especially. (The tiny little hairs on the tiny little stem!)

Hooray, hooray! Can’t wait to see more =]
These are all pretty neat. I especially like the picture of someone (you?) writing, and the first one — yowza!
i know someone already said this, but it bears repeating – i absolutely LOVE the tomato shot.

That’s a pretty great idea! I’d love to try something like that.
Love how your red lip in the first photo matches your shorts (pants? skirt? underwear?)
I like the reflection and symmetry of the photo with the person writing
HAH. Not my underwear – I’m not that bold.
They’re super sexy sweatpants.
Never stop using that lipstick because it looks amazing! Also, I lovelovelove the photo with the hand reflection.

Lovely photos!
BTW, you’re so pretty!

LOVE your lipstick, by the way.
