In anticipation of our trip to France, I've been taking pictures of everything and anything in an attempt to master my camera. I got a new haircut last night and thought I'd try some self-portraits to see how it looked (instead of taking another 50 photos of my "art" and tree).
I was SO EXCITED when I looked at them on the camera. I thought, "Finally! A few photos that look like they were taken on a nice camera." Then I loaded them onto my laptop. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. These are the best of my "great" photos. So dark, so light, and so blurry.
Oh well, I guess that there are worse problems to have than having to shoot automatic or AV/TV in France, right?
BTW, I normally only wear my glasses for computer work, but find myself reaching for my glasses more and more these days to relieve eye strain. I took these pictures with my glasses to see what grandma looks like in her cheaters. I'm so happy that they still work, as I bought them for a much more slender face and they weren't cheap.
Have a happy weekend, friends!

I love the second one. I wouldn't worry about using the automatic setting in France. Just have fun!
Love the hair, love the glasses, love your look! You look stunning!
I also wouldnt worry about using AV/TV. After learning manual, I still shoot on AV a lot of the time. It is less work; I'm not trying to be a professional; and if it is easier then why not? I think it is hard when you read blogs where it seems like if you dont shoot manual you are fraud. I beg to differ. it is your camera, your hobby - do what you want!
you dont want to be held up in paris because you are fiddling with manual settings.
