When I came home last night, I noticed the sun was doing some pretty cool things to the tree in front of my house. (For the record: That may be one of the lamest sentences I've ever written.) Since I am now officially an amateur photographer, I immediately ran inside, yelled something to Jack like "THE TREE LOOKS SOO COOL!", grabbed my Nikon, and started snapping away.Thanks to a semester in Venice (college rules), I know the basics of manual mode on my fancy camera -- but otherwise I'm still a total beginner. But I'm pretty please with the variety of shots I got playing around with shutter speed and aperture.
Just don't ask me what I did or to do it again.
