Did it!!! I flipped into Manual mode this afternoon and took a bunch of pictures. I was inspired by Courtney's picture today. I looked at the settings she used, got up from my desk, got my camera and my prime lens and started snapping. First I used Courtney's settings and my picture was too dark. Then I started flipping through the shutter settings...flip, click...flip, click...flip, click...There was a lot of trial and error. There was really nothing noteworthy, but I did start to get a sense of which shutter speed lets more light in so that's progress. I'm really going to try hard to take more and more manual shots. No guts, no glory!
I did manage a picture of this guy with manual settings and no flash. It is SOTC...pretty good!
I also took a few pictures of Miss Lucy. I tried explaining to her that she needed to hold still so I could take a bunch of pictures and see which one was the best camera setting...
She didn't...
Yay! Because you are so diligent you are only going to improve! Wonderful light, too. Keep having fun with your trial and error!
