I suppose I need to alternate

Yesterday’s post was his sister…

Took several shots of this little guy with my SLR, but not one was acceptable. I s*ck at flash photography and all the frames were with natural light, resulting in shutter speeds of 1/20–1/15". None of the shots was acceptably sharp, even when allowing that portraits are sometimes still quite effective when slightly blurred. Case in point: my post two years ago, so this is not a new, middle-aged problem. This is very discouraging.

I’m posting this in early March. So far this calendar year (65 days) I have take four photos with the SLR. Four. Struggling to get to my 10-year “365-iversary.”

Looking back
1 year ago: “Christmas dishes”
2 years ago: “Great subject; not-so-great photo”
3 years ago: “Getting the morning news with Grandma”
4 years ago: “Isn't this what everybody does on holiday vacations?”
5 years ago: “Neal & Grace”
6 years ago: “Younger daughter now engaged!”
7 years ago: “Christmas cookies!”
8 years ago: “Lights and beads”
9 years ago: “The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…”
