Sorry about the delay. I didn’t intend to turn Photo Friday into Photo Saturday.

As I mentioned yesterday, I failed to get a good gathering photo at my Mawmaw’s on Thanksgiving Day. Which is unfortunate because we had a gorgeous day with great natural light. So I had to get my photo from our gathering at Jonathan’s parent’s house, which was at night, and no natural light.

This is where I struggle with my photography {not that I’m a “photographer” or anything}. I feel I get the best photos during the day and I have a really hard time using my camera’s settings to get a great photo at night, indoors. In these situations I mostly stick with the “no flash” setting on the camera because it seems whenever I try using manual settings the photo comes out way too warm {and yes, I adjust the WB settings}.

In order to get rid of the “golden” hue in this photo, I edited in Picnik and the bottom line is I’m really not thrilled with it at all. It would have been a much better one taken outside during the day, but Photo Friday for me is about learning what works and what doesn’t and finding what I still need to work on. Clearly I need more work on taking indoor photos at night.

Do you have any suggestions for me?  {And just for the record, I know that lamp in the background is a no-no.  I didn’t set the photo up. I was merely taking advantage of them all being in the same spot at the same time.}

What is your biggest photography struggle?
