This is the final challenge. I haven’t worked with this aspect of my camera, and I admit I didn’t check the book to see how to “do it right.” I wanted to experiment with different settings to see what I could get. I used “S” mode as well as EXR … Continue reading →
Welcome to another Merry Go Round Blog Tour Installment. This month we’re exploring our favorite writing places. Mostly, I write at the computer, but this year I’m focusing on revisions, and I’ve found handwriting my revision at the kitchen table to be more enjoyable than I had anticipated.
