"Mom"tographer

A little over a year ago, Daddy bought Mommy her first DSLR camera. I have been shooting in full-auto mode for this entire time, which is pretty much not the reason for having a DSLR. I finally broke down and bought the book "Understanding Exposure" and started my Two Peas 12 Weeks to Better Photography online/self-guided course. I am not exactly the artistic type, so I am not sure how this adventure will work out. Today, I went outside and took a few pictures in AV mode which aperture priority. The ISO was set at 400 which is what the lesson recommended. I started with an f/stop of 5.6 and worked my way up to 36. Of course in the lovely Florida heat my lens got FOGGY. GRRR. I will have to play again but here are some samples.
