Photo Freedom Giveaway.

My biggest photo struggle has been getting good pictures with low light. I need to read up on my camera.

My biggest issue is how to organize a huge backlog of pictures that seem to stifle me from moving forward with current pics. I feel like they are a cloud that hangs over my head!

It's hard to narrow it down to just one- I think it would have to be trying to capture the emotion of the moment. I take the picture because I want to remember the feeling and by the time I upload and print, it seems a little trivial and I feel foolish making a page about it. For instance, my daughter was given a "girls rule" pin for her birthday. She told me that she keeps it in her pocket because she doesn't want to hurt her friends' (two boys) feelings. I love her gentleness and compassion and it's hard to put that onto a 4x6 glossy. I took a picture of her little hand holding the pin and will jot down the story but it doesn't seem to do it justice.

What do I do with all the pictures I dont scrapbook? Will my kids appreciate the "perfect" scrapbook photos or will they prefer the many, many random images not worthy of scrapbooking? How can I make them both co-exist peacefully?

Hi Ali,
I have a few stuggles, like most people, I can't seem to keep up on scrapping the photos I print. I seem to get them printed, but I tend to print too many. I like them all, so I'm left with a lot of extra pics. My biggest struggle is with the photo itself. I'm colorblind, so seeing all the color within a photo is a struggle.

My biggest problem is organizing them. I take a lot of photos but can never seem to find them when I feel like scrapping and I often find a ton of pictures I forgot about. I usually don't print them out until I am thinking about scrapping and then it takes me hours to print out 6 months worth - so need to come up with a better system.

My biggest problem is sorting. I want to get multiples so that each child has one for every event. But them I wonder if I have to many different folders and hope that I don't miss something because I labeled it "this" but forget where I put it. I wish I could remember what I tag things!

I guess it would be thinking outside the box...getting those images you wouldn't think of. And also getting past feel akward taking pictures all the time and always having my camera with me. I am getting better, but sometime still feel weird.

My major problem is getting the mountain of photos chronologically into albums. The D-SLR can't take a bad photo, so I can't keep up :(

Yay! Giveaway!
My biggest struggle is deciding which photos are "important enough" to scrapbook - I take so many photos and I'm worried that our house is just going to be *full* of volumes upon volumes of scrapbooks in a couple of years!

My biggest photo struggle is what I call my "Photo Conundrum"--My pictures are what inspires me to scrapbook in the first place, yet they bog me down mentally with their untold stories AND physically with the sheer management of sorting/organizing/storing/retrieving them! Help?

My biggest photo struggle is allowing myself to be the subject of the photo... EVER. (I'm never quite ready enough to let others snap that shot, ya' know?) So we have a great camera, a great photo printer, PLENTY of scrapbook supplies, (and I love to scrap!), but there sure aren't many photos of me anywhere...

My biggest photo struggle is with digital photos - saving to CD and choosing which to print and scrap. It just seemed so easy with film, you had them all at your fingertips.
Thanks for the giveaway!

The Biggest Struggle i have is ORGANIZING them!!!! If I had them organized they would be easier to scrap right??

The sheer quantity of photos that I take digitally is staggering. I never know which I should delete, which I should save, and which I should print. I also hate paying to have them printed, when I can just enjoy them digitally....but I do miss being able to page through a photo album. Are photo albums a thing of the past?

Biggest problem? My rebel is a canine, not a canon. Hubby said I had to wait for the camera, but HE got a new puppy! I named him REBEL!
Seriously-
I don't understand lighting/aperature/histograms...pretty much all of it.

My biggest struggle is deleting pictures. I don't think that in the switch from film->camera, I haven't let go of having a record of every picture I take. You never know when that out of focus, goofy faced one would be the perfect photo to capture a moment...I guess you just don't need 5 of them taken 2 seconds apart.

My biggest struggle with pictures is getting good pictures inside of the kids! There isn't quite enough light, so there is always weird eyes or a yellow tinge...
Any assistance would be appreciated!
