Hello to all the steemians, it is very rare now to see me talking about photography, as many of you know I am a musician and audio engineer, something almost totally removed from photography, but since I bought my camera I feel like a child with a new toy , and more when I have always been interested in learning new disciplines regardless of the area.

I did not want to share anything here until I felt I learned to take pictures, but I feel that you can not show an evolution if you do not show a starting point, so I decided to show the first photos I took as part of an exercise to learn to use manual mode.

The exercise is quite simple, it consists of overcoming what I find most difficult in photography and thus making everything easier in the following steps, as it turns out that I have a big problem with the handling of light, therefore, everything is burned in whites, so the exercise was to keep the composition with a good white and dark balance.

I made the decision to do it in the worst scenario for me, outdoors in the midday sun, these are some of the photos I took and the ones I liked the most as they were regarding the balance.

Without giving me the account of the hour has become late, and at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, I have finished this photo, that in spite of how dark it could have been, I liked the effect that this gave, an error that ended well.
