First barn shoot with new camera.

I walked all around the barn, playing with camera settings, and clicking away. I knew nothing of what I was doing, but boy did that camera feel good in my hands.

I happened upon this wonderful photo-op, long-forgotten apples in a bucket. The composition, with the one red apple was such a lucky shot, especially since I had no idea what settings the camera was on. I think it was in aperture priority mode, since that is one of the things that I wanted to play with.

f 5.6, 1/125 SEC, 65 MM, ISO-400

Post-processing: auto level adjustment, darken highlights, slight boost in saturation

First shot with my new Canon 40D. I think the camera was set to auto. There was a flash, I'm pretty sure. I could never get good portrait shots like this with my little Nikon point-and-shoot. Mmmm, love me some soft focus.

f/4.5, 1/60 SEC, 53 MM, ISO-400

Post-processing: None
