| I Feel the Need for Speed |
Saturday we went on a little road tour. I thought we were going to find some turning leaves. We didn't. I did get to practice some photographic techniques. This is called panning; you are trying to get a sense of movement.
Here is the only shot I got of turning leaves. I knew this would be a good shot because I had seen it last weekend on our way home from Midland, TX. Luckily Mark was agreeable to stopping.
Yesterday morning I filled our birdbath. Then I came into the house and looked out and the sun was just perfect and I had slightly over-filled the birdbath and there was another opportunity for a picture. 120 pictures later, I ended up with four, and those aren't exactly what I wanted, so I tried again this morning. Probably close to 200 pictures later, I've learned some things, a few of pictures are good. But I think I will try again tomorrow. That is the nice thing about living here, tomorrow's weather will be the same, no clouds. Yes, I am my own worst critic.
