Saturday Snapshot--June 25, 2011

This meme is hosted by Alyce from At Home With Books

To participate in Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken. Photos can be old or new, and can be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. All Alyce asks is that you don't post random photos that you find online.

I spent the past week at a photography "camp" so I thought I'd post one of my photos. We had to shoot in manual mode all week, which was pretty tricky... lots of thinking involved!

I'll post more about the camp tomorrow in my Sunday Salon as it was a really amazing experience

Leslie (Under My Apple Tree) said...: I love it! You have the colors and lighting perfect.

Manual mode can be trying... but sometimes I have to use it to get good shots of my birds or night shots (which I am terrible at!).; June 25, 2011 at 7:29 AM
