Manual

I finally took my first manual shot. I know, I know. But I've been so captivated with, and secure with, Aperture Priority mode. So I got out the book and figured out which, of the MANY, buttons and dials to use to set the aperture and shutter, and lo and behold looked at the little meter in the viewfinder that I have blissfully ignored up till now. : ) Shooting manual will come in handy when I want to override the settings for a particular shot.

Here's my very first shot.


f/4.5, 1/100 SEC, 50 MM, ISO-400

It had to be a tree, of course. And conveniently located five steps from my front door.
