Wednesday sounds like…

Thursday, October 9, 2008

Wednesday is Sound day here in Photo week. So far this week has been very challenging. I’ve been trying not to go for the extremely obvious, but it is hard…

Hubby didn’t understand how this is a sound picture. I feel like this time of year, you can just hear the season changing. From the rustling of the leaves, to the crunching of the leaves as people step on them.

I get quite a few comments about my colorful iPod. I love it. I got the purple ear buds at Best Buy for $10. I dropped it in the grass and decided to take some pictures.

Thanks to the other participants. Check out their pictures:

I am totally addicted to learning anything/everything about cameras now. I blame you! haha. I think macro is my favorite setting. Do you have a macro lens or do you use your kit lens+macro setting? Thanks for putting up with all my questions!

Ha. Sorry or You’re Welcome 🙂 I used the Macro setting with the kit lens. I think for the middle picture I used my 55-200 lens. The others are with the 18-55 lens.

I find myself not using Macro as much as I thought I would. Since the flash goes up. Based on what I learned yesterday I might start using Landscape for food pictures.

Probably 90% of the time, I just use the Auto setting or Auto w/o flash and let the camera do all the work. Sometimes I use Shutter priority or Aperture priority. I’m glad this week’s photo week is causing me to try out all the different options.

Jen! I took the same picture of the seed on a dogwood tree, mine didn’t turn out that great though… We are always on the same wave length. Nice job!

Thanks for the insight, Jen! I don’t know squat about taking pictures, so I appreciate your words of wisdom. That checkers set is so cool. Great angle!

I’m a big fan of the checkers shot as well!
