Snow on Day 132

This is cropped to remove the actual light.  When you make it full screen it is pretty cool.

Lightpost - Day 131

I like the cuts through the cloud.  I should chop off the bottom trees.

Depth of Field - Day 130

Another experiment.  I am reading a book on how to take pictures, and I just read about depth of field.  I did not really realize how to do this before.  I just used to use the macro setting on my point and shoot, but there is no macro setting on my new camera.  f/5.0, ISO 800 and exposure 1/20s.

Ice Skating Party - Day 129

I honestly wasn't very happy with any of the pictures that I took today.  But, I am learning.  This is probably the most focused picture of the day.  Not the best, but the most focused.  Sad.

Yet Another Tree at Night - Day 128

It took me a whole bunch of tries to get this right.  I didn't use automatic this time!  The exposure time was 1 second with f/5.6.  ISO 400.  I promise that I will stop taking pictures of trees at night!

Trees in the Morning - Day 127

I wandered outside at about 7:30 this morning in the butt-cold to take this picture.  I need to learn how to do some manual settings before I get these pictures perfect.

Ceiling Fan - Day 126

This is an experiment with the camera.  I wanted to get the fan blades in motion. I think that this is pretty good.  It is dark, which you would expect, but I think that it also turned out OK.  I actually edited one of the big holes in the ceiling out, which was interesting.
