After more than two years of owning my DSLR, I'm getting serious about learning how to use it.Thanks to a new hub on instagram, @beyondthesnapshot, (led by three of my favorite instagrammers), we are getting weekly tutorials, assignments and feedback of how to better use both our DSLR cameras and our phone cameras. The first week our assignment was learning about aperture and how you can change the focal point with different sizes of f stop. It's all still very fuzzy in my brain, but it was fun to see the difference that one setting can make.
Cool photos!

Baby geese! They make me smile (-:
ReplyDeleteGreat series of shots. I love poppies and the petals are really lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an interesting group, Jill. I think I'll check it out! Oh, what a beautiful park - how blessed you are to have spent an afternoon there. Beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteIsn't spring fantastic! You have a lovely backyard. Great shots and that last one is wonderful the way much of it is blurred except for the petals.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty shots. Loved the goslings and that orange flower as well as the green pod in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I love poppies and just planted some in my garden this spring. I cannot wait! You will be amazed at how much your photos will improve as you learn how to use your DSLR. You already have a wonderful eye. Nice aperture demo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I'm definitely in the camp of needing to learn how to use my camera....
ReplyDeletegreat photos - and such a treat to have a solo afternoon in the park! #LTTL
