Taking pictures...

I like to take pictures of my family and possibly my garden. I don't particularly like to take pictures "professionally." My Mom thinks I take pretty pictures and could easily get paid, although I'm not sure my Mother is a trusted source. (Not because she doesn't look at pictures but because she's my Mom, she has to say stuff like that.) I think I take pretty good pictures but if I take them for other people, then the pressure is on. What if they're blurry, what if the lighting is bad? What if I'm really not that good at taking pictures because I've never taken a photography class in my life and I'm really just messing around with all the settings until the pictures look right?

For the most part, if I take pictures for other people, then it becomes work, not fun. I'm stuck for hours in front of my computer in post production until my eyes are tired and my mouse hand starts to look like a claw. Anyway, I'm rambling. It's just how I felt today.
