Personal Doubt

by sivaelectric » Sat Jun 04, 2011 2:36 am
Which one is right?

"Tried my hands at" or
"Tried my hands in"

For example,

Tried my hands at photography or Tried my hands in photography.

Which one is right? :)
If I am wrong correct me :), If my post helped let me know by clicking the Thanks button ;).

I think both are wrong.

"Tried my hand at" is the correct usage.
Not hands. Not in.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)
