Shooting Manual....aaahhhhh.
So, I got a DSLR camera last Christmas. One of my goals this year was to improve my photography and to eventually learn to shoot in full manual mode. I was feeling pretty good since I usually use "half manual" mode, where the camera sets the shutter speed and I set the ISO and f-stop (Av for you Canon users). Well, full manual is sooooo much harder. But I am getting better, thanks to generous photographers with great blogs. As I mentioned in my last post, Darcy at Life with my 3 Boybarians is posting wonderful tutorials. I just learned my camera had a meter to help me determine what the shutter speed should be!! Imagine that! Today we are learning white balance. It is coming together for me...slowly. I have to say in the world of photography, practice makes perfect. Here is a sampling of my manual shots SOOC (straight out of camera):

I am so glad that you linked to this photo series! I have been trying to get to know my camera this year too and I have been taking a lot of pictures, but didn't really know my camera well enough to use full manual- and now I am! That post on metering- and now histograms- is totally changing what it is like when I take pictures! Your photos are great!!
Great job Alyson on all your pictures! You're getting to be a pro with your new camera! Love all the fall pictures & of course, the ones of the kids! Miss them lots! Hope to see you guys soon!
