Backing away from auto mode
This weekend we did indeed make it to the Pumpkin Patch, and my purse did well as both camera case/diaper bag/purse. I was snapping a bunch of photos, so I left it on auto just to make it easier. But when I ran across the picture below, I knew I had to adjust some settings to get the picture I wanted.
You can barely - if at all - read the sign that was one of the main reasons I took a picture of both tepees. I then put my camera on TV setting to control the shutter speed to allow more light into the camera. After a few takes, I came up the one below.
It was as close as I could get to a readable picture without the whole picture being washed out. Not sure if the sign shows up that well but the small tepee is a mother-in-law tepee. I thought it was cute.
Going places always seems to present itself with plenty of photo taking opportunities and the chance to play with those digital camera settings. It really helps you to get the perfect picture.
