trackback
After a month of wind and some truly crappy photos of Things That Move, I’ve discovered the “H”-setting on my DSLR, which allows me to effectively boost the ISO from a max of 1600 to double that. This should allow me to get in closer to moving subjects like leggy flowers in a breeze, or shoot hand-held shots at lower light levels.
Yeah, I know – I’m a slow learner!
But still, here are my first ventures into that faster (albeit grainier) terrain.
Bugs Fucking:
Bees Buzzin’:
Yeah, thems iz tiny ones!
And a hand-held low light take on a quiet neighborhood up in the hills:
Some day I’ll read the instruction book which came with this unit. Then you’ll be sorry!!
Little Bang Theory 
love the bees picture!
and reading the instruction manual….maybe I’ll get around to that someday too..
I think you’re taking time to learn your camera is working out well for you.
(I want to write something really naughty right here, but I won’t since this is a family blog)
The graveyard picture is intriguing. Do I see a ghost back there among the trees?

It is? That explains the title of the first photo above. 😉
Gods help us all if you ever learn to use that camera, Cuz!! 😆 😆
I must steal that graveyard picture. 😉
oh i have to have that graveyard photo!!!!!
wonderful!
Go for it! 🙂
Those naughty bugs! 😉 Hey, thanks for the words of encouragement, btw.
What kind of bug is that? I love the orange and black against the bright yellow and green.
i wish i was as slow a learner as you
i take the crappiest pictures
you take the best ones
All wonderful! But the graveyard – that’s the best! Really beautiful. They do seem to be the nicest neighborhoods, don’t they?
Why yes, they do – they’re really a laid back bunch! 🙂
DCap, you don’t see the bulk of what I shoot… for a reason!
PS, no idea what kind of beetles those are. But yeah, the colors are spectacular (and more so in person.)
Oh, and kk, yer welcome. We all need each others’ good words.
Reading the user’s manual? Ah, the refuge of last resort! 😉
Tschuss!
While you have the book open, the next topic for your perusal is how to operate spot metering. You’ll be happy you did!
Tschuss!
