12 Weeks To Better Photos - Week 1

I have always wanted to take nice clear professional looking pictures of Leila (and now Gavin).  A year ago we bought a Nikon D60 to take "professional pictures" but they are just not "perfect". I decided to follow allow with the 12 Weeks to Better Photos program to learn some photo skills.  Here is the link to the lessons for each week. http://sites.google.com/site/biowbiow002/01-ApertureBasicTraining_weekone.pdf  After I learn better photos I would like to learn how to edit with photoshop!

Here is my attempt at lesson 1...

It was quite windy out so I had a hard time focusing on the tree branch leading to blurry pictures but I got the point of lesson 1.
