I wish it would have cooled you off too Jess! Today it was only 82 degrees here! It SHOULD be in the low 90's right now, so we're all loving it. It won't last though! I think it's supposed to be in the low to mid 90s this weekend, which is probably still quite cool by Texas standards! ;)

I forgot (again) to put the camera setting on my pictures I posted yesterday.
I used the auto setting cause I was being lazy! :laugh: :laugh:
BUT! I did try this technique....
in my manual it said that if you are photographing a bright object (like a sunset) to focus your camera on another part of the sky and then turn to the sunset and take the picture.
to do that you have to learn how to feel your cameras 'halfstop'; practice gently pushing down your button until you can feel where it hesitates....that is your half stop. When you reach that point your camera evaluates the lighting and sets the controls. You can 'fake' out the camera's controls for different effects...
I used this technique to get this picture:
and it came out good I think...
but yesterday I tried it on the sky and look what happened!
it washed all out.. .so I am guessing that it only works when the bright objest is fairly small...
injest:
These are all old pictures that were taken with a 35 mm camera, so I dont' have the information on them. I thought ya'll might like to see them. If you want me to move them David I will!

he had a serious toilet paper addiction. I tried to get him into a 12 step program but he wouldn't go...
