Landscape Monday


Photo week is BACK! This time Steph is hosting and she chose the auto-settings as the theme. Monday means Landscape.

According the the CD that cake with my camera, Landscape mode will turn off the flash, enhance greens and blues, increase contrast and it will focus on the closest object. So I wanted to go out and take some pictures that could benefit from this setting.

After my afternoon outside, I decided that I don’t like landscape mode on my camera that much. In fact I might consider using it for my food pictures in the future since the flash gets turned off. I didn’t feel like it enhanced the color of the sky very much…

That being said, here are my landscape pictures. I went to a local park to take these pictures. Enjoy! Be sure to tune in tomorrow for Macor Tuesday.


Willow trees and a park bench.


I love how bright the blue is in this picture.


Hidden walkway from the back of the park up to a main road. Hubby and I found this shortcut after living here over a year!

    Love the action shots! I can’t believe that your KA was spinning when you took the picture. It totally looks stationary. Man, I have camera envy right now!

    Great set, lots of variety! The drinking fountain is beautiful. And Roxy is such a diva! Is your camera a Canon? That’s what I have. You might want to mess around in the “Tv” manual setting to play with shutter speeds…you’ll be able to get some action with your mixer that way. Nice work!

    Steph – it’s a Nikon D40. I definitely need to read the manual to play with the setting more as far as shutter speed goes.

    CB – I know. I kept taking pictures hoping that one would show it in motion. I should have taken it out of child mode and used something else to show a little blur of action. Maybe I’ll try again this weekend.
