The other day I had a lightbulb (or should I say flash) moment. I was reading through
this and trying to use the manual settings on my
camera. Finally, everything came together and made sense. I snapped some pictures using the Av setting and then I played with the full Manual (Full Monty?) settings. My goal was to capture some of A., but I did NOT want the flash to wash everything out.
I took several with my 50mm 1.4 lens and was excited to see the results. I love the bokeh (blurred background) and the soft, natural light. It did not come out as sharp as I might have liked, but I still like this photo.
I have to admit I was pretty proud of my little old self.The scoop: 50mm 1.4 lens set @ 1.4 aperture, 1/40 shutter speed, ISO 200
