A Photo A Day In May Update

Posted by DeAnna Allan

Here’s a quick update on my favourite photos I’ve taken so far in May. My husband took the photo of the mountains for me since I was out of the house from 7 am to 10 pm on May 1 (yikes – it was a long day!).

I’ve also started reading this great book by David D. Busch called Nikon D80 Digital Field Guide. So far it’s pretty good. I’m only on page 26 and I’ve learned more about lenses and where and what each button is for, than I have by using the camera for the last 5 months!

I’ve really been trying to work on depth of field so I’ve been taking lots of photos of my tulips. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if I pick up my camera, I tend to take a lot of photos, not just one or two! I used my tripod for the pics of the tulips, using macro setting, and our kit lens, the 18-135mm lens. I also took some with flash and some without. It was just before dusk, so I wasn`t sure whether I would need the flash or not. I think I like the ones with the flash better – they seem to have more drama in them. I think there is also more detail in them. You can really see the ridges in the petals. Anyway, here are some of my favourites so far.
