There's another photography website I also belong to, and they do bi weekly assignments, mostly for fun, but also for practice and learning exercises. One of the current assignments is "toys." This is the one I did for that with my new "toy". :D

I've been trying for a while to get a "good" shot of the hummingbirds that come to my feeder. While I'm not overly happy with the background on this, (it was the best angle I could get at the time) its the best shot I've gotten of the little buggers so far.

I don't think there are any colors left in the rainbow or color combinations they haven't already used.... :p
And I'm still waiting for an articulating LCD screen.

Over the last 3 or 4 years especially, I've looked at other peoples pictures and wanted to throw my camera up against a wall.
Almost daily.
But then you know what? I had an epiphany of sorts. Sure I get a good shot once in a while. And I take a LOT of fluff stuff that from a technical, critical standpoint is crap. (You can see what I consider some of my better stuff in my Viewbug albums, link in sig *shameless plug* )Then I realized WHO I take pictures for.
Me.
Yup. I came to realize that someday I might get better... I might not... but I stopped taking others opinions of my work so seriously and put what was really important front and center. I take pictures because I like to. I take pictures of things I enjoy. I take pictures of things that are important to me or my family and if someone else along the way likes a few of them too well thats cool but I'm not taking pictures to make money or to become famous... I take them because its MY hobby.
Don't give up. Just refocus on the most important person you are taking the pictures for... and that person is in your mirror. So they may not be the most beautiful pictures in the world or the most spectacular from a technical stand point and will never be published in Nat Geo. So what! As long as YOU like them and as long as YOU are enjoying what you do... don't give up on yourself or your camera!
But hey if you ever do want to toss that old K50 into the trash... my can has some room... just sayin'... ;)
