Having said that, I did play around with my camera a bit more and even tried reading the manual: a real first for me. I'm usually of the philosophy: If at first you don't succeed, read the directions. Not that I'm not succeeding. But now I'm asking fundamentally more important questions, like "How do I adjust shutter speed?" "Where's the function for programming RAW images?" and "What the hell is ISO???" So you see, I'm actually learning a bit.
Here's my week in a nutshell: nature and playdates. (And the stressful house-hunting, but that's not the norm and was a fairly traumatic experience, so I won't talk about that here.) In my world, there's always time for play-dates. Someone else to entertain and amuse Evan = less work for me = more time for me to play with my new toy. Everybody wins. Don't you love my reasoning?
Play at your own risk
We're ba-ack!
I see myself in these eyes

I rarely take my camera off of the automatic mode... I'm so afraid of screwing up the settings, even though I know that's a crappy reason.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture of Evan is just adorable!!
That boy has the bluest eyes! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love to play around with the settings on my camera. If I mess up, there is always the reset option. Have fun!

Breathe deep and enjoy destressing!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the deer and your baby's blue eyes
The last photo is stunning! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. That shot of Evan is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some time to play with the camera! I never read the instructions either. When I'm desperate, I ask my husband to read them and tell me what he found out. He actually likes instructions!?
ReplyDeletethose are very pretty eyes!
ReplyDeletePlaydates are the best. How do you not scream at those deer to leave your yard?

ReplyDeleteLori, Danifred, theycallmejane, & Momma@Live.Laugh.Pull your hair out: Thanks!!! =)
ReplyDeleteStacia: I do the same. And then I feel like a doofus because he learns how to use my "toys" better than me. And I don't like that. ;)
