Thanks so much to all of you who have provided such awesome feedback and encouragement on the Move to Manualseries I’m co-hosting. I mentioned last week that I’ll be partnering in this series with my friend and fellow photographer Amy Earle of Simply B Photos! Amy’s a remarkable photographer and the brains behind all of the family photos you see here on my blog.
Today, I’m sending you guys her way to check out her tutorial on how light affects your photos. She’s got some great insight on what to look for and what to avoid when you’re shooting outdoors!

Hi! I just found your blog and your Move to Manual series. I’m new to photography and THANK YOU! I went to use this tutorial and the link won’t work now. I’ve tried everything, and it won’t work. 🙁
Thanks so much for this post and series. I’m so excited to follow it along. I in in the middle of taking an intro to photography class with a local photography school and this is going to follow along with it nicely. The class is so technical so this will help bring it together. Love your blog. I’m fairly a new follower, military mom of two little boys.

I’m excited to have you on board Mindi!! Looking forward to your photos and seeing the shots you capture! I hope that this course, paired with the one you are already taking will help you achieve the shots you hope for!
First of all, I am really happy to have been “invited” to your camera class! Who knew I could learn to take better pictures. Thanks, I need all the tips I can get.
