How'd I do that?


I took this on my road trip (see #2 and #9) to Wyoming in September. I'm not sure how it came out that color, but I think I had adjusted the white balance and didn't know what I was doing. That trip was the beginning of learning how to use the camera for more than a point and shoot.

I'm just going to keep pushing buttons and turning dials to see what happens. That's what I'll do.

I tried that, and then couldn't remember what settings I used for what picture.

I am still using the preloaded settings as a crutch. I need to play more and be less intimidated by the camera...

That is a great way to learn! It's nice that with digital cameras you can look up the settings you used for each individual photo...I refer to them often on the shots that turned out well. This is a cool shot...so blue and interesting composition!

Pattie - Welcome back and thanks for coming by! I know what you mean about remembering settings. However, what I find is that if I do enough playing around, I really do start to learn the features and know what each one does. It comes with enough time behind the viewfinder. I throw away far more pictures than I save...still. Love those digitals.

S. Cheeky - Thanks for commenting. I checked out the properties on the picture and couldn't find settings. Is there some trick?

Keep coming back. I love it.

Very nice color and composition. There's a lot of sky in Wyoming, isn't there?
