Well, this week's Sweet Shot Tuesday photo is a effort in editing.  We celebrated my daughters birthday at the American Girl store here at the Mall of America in Minneapolis.  I think I should have switched the camera to auto because the manual choices I made were pretty bad.  There was a lot of window lighting (natural from the Nickelodeon Universe Skylights) but the entire restaurant is full of pink and red.  My white balance was off, my shutter speed wasn't high enough, and I should have had my external flash with a diffuser and this shot is underexposed.   But my first priority was getting a group of kindergardeners in and out of a crazy mall, fed and having fun!  I'm guessing my Mom's point and shoot photos are better, even my sister-in-laws phone probably took better shots.  We had fun though...and there is always black and white conversion!
