Photography | Shooting in Manual

This year I have made a conscious effort to always shoot in manual mode when I’m at home and able to take my time with a shot. Aperture adjustment is starting to make sense to me, so I may spend the next 6 months trying to learn a new technique (that is how long I have been fiddling around learning how to take the shot below; slow learner I know).
I am proud of this picture! Completely unedited btw. Leftover flowers from my baby shower, still looking good over a week later.

Have you explored the other side of the dial on your DSLR? Any tips for me?

Anzac Wreath

I forgot to take a picture of the many beautiful wreaths that were hung on our local War Memorial on Anzac Day.  They are still hanging in there, just a little wilted and older, like the men and women we paid tribute to on April 25th.

Boken crochet hook

Out of the sadness of a broken, favourite hook {at night, which rendered me hookless – yarn down!} has come a new discovery.  There are better hooks out there, smooth weighty ones, hooks from which I don’t have to file burrs off before I use them with a nail file!  The wonders of Spotlight are vast people.
