manual pic challenge

hiya bloggers.

as things have slowed a bit with the cooler weather, then got busier with sports and kids at school, the blog has been a bit sluggish.

So lets fix that.

The current challenge of pins and needles will be still around for a few more days, and until then if you would like to drag out the camera and try out something different. (my favourite kind of challenge)

So this is a self assessed wedgie challenge. Choose yourself a setting you have never tried on your camera and have a play. Shoot any subject. Be it the moon (if you can find it amongst the clouds) for a night shot but not using the moon setting, a sports shot but using some other setting other than the running man on the dial, a landscape without the mountains setting. Try your hand on exposure for the shooting of the clouds. Read your little book that came with your camera for tips and how tos.

Whatever you can think of. Extend yourself. Send me the pic as a small file and I'll post it. If you try out a few over the next few days and have a few pics , well send me them as you shoot them to keep the blog rolling along. Dont forget to mention what settings you used.

I dont have to show yet but will in a bit.
