I thought it would be fun to post the following to see how much we all have progress in our photography journey. Post the very first picture you took that made you get into photography, then post your latest and greatest picture to date. Let's see them ladies

LOL! Seeing the other post about how long we have been on our journeys reminded me to update my anniversary thread, I'm just in the middle of it now, but I like the idea of a then & now. I will be back in a bit!

This should be a super fun thread!!

So, this was a couple of weeks after Carson was born. I wanted a photo to put on his birth announcement, so I set him up on a white blanket, and tried my hand at a portrait. Here it is, in all it's sad glory!

First time I took my brand new DLSR out.

And this is where I am now.

Here's my 2.5 year anniversary post that I did back in January. I'll probably do another one come January again. I've seen a lot of improvement in me in the past year. http://shutterbugstroll.blogspot.com...sary-post.html

I haven't been here as long as some of you (nine months), and I'm still waaaaay behind on my learning curve, but here's my comparison. This is the first photo of my son I ever posted here:

and here is the one I asked for help with colour cast on the other day:

This is a great idea!

One of my favs on my P&S- Um yes, I realize the color is WAY off, along with focus, but it's just one of those you can't get rid of.

One of my first DSLR with my 50mm:
