Flowers & Stepping Out of the Dark Room

About a year ago, I bought my first DSLR camera, but I’m just now learning how to use it. I grew up with darkrooms and film, so artistically, this is a bit of a new world for me. It is strange to come home with 200 photos (vs 2 rolls of film) and then head to my iPad instead of my hidey hole of  the darkroom. However, I have been really been enjoying this process and getting interested in photography again.

When I first got the camera, I took it with me to Home Depot while plant shopping. At the time, I found the shots a bit boring. I am not a big color photography fan, so changing them to black and white gave me a fresh perspective, They were  fun shots to play around with.
