MANUAL

You don't take a photograph,
you make it. 

~Ansel Adams
 
Camera: Nikon D3100
 
Lens: 18-55 mm
 
ISO: 100
 
Aperture: F/8
 
Shutter Speed: 1/160
 
Exposure: -0-
 
Taken about 11:00 a.m.
The sun was behind me and
to the right.
It was a hazy, sunny morning.
I was as close to the parsley
plant as I could get and still 
be in focus so I could capture
the water droplets.
I did it all on manual with no
help from auto...
I'm learning!

    It's lovely! I'm so glad that you are braving manual mode. My husband and I share a love of photography. We used to wander his tiny town at night taking pictures in the mist. (:

    Love. I think the key to good photos is a good eye and you have it. Thank you for sharing your settings. I need to spend some time working on my manual settings.

    Good girl - we are never too old to learn I say. Great photo can nearly touch those droplets.

    Very nice!
    I have never had the manual for my camera. I could buy a secondhand one. Maybe I will!
    Much love to you Tracey.x
