I am so excited about this photo! In order to take it I had to venture from the automatic settings more than I ever have before. The overcast day and fresh snowfall presented a number of challenges that I had not anticipated. My first photos were dark and the colors looked terrible. Disappointed, I grabbed my photography book and steeled myself to figure out a solution. With an adjustment to ISO, WB, Exposure Compensation and using the AP setting I finally got this pic. It may not be anything special photographically but for me it represents a little victory!
Lisa, you should be exicted about this because it is gorgeous. Good for you for venturing out of your comfort zone. Once you go manual you will never go back!!!
@sjwyatt30 Yep, for a girl who is easily overwhelmed by technology, it was a big accomplishment! Thank you for the comment and the follow, Sandra. Following you back!
Lisa. Don't be hard on yourself. This is a beautiful shot. Red berries green background and snow instantly conjures up Christmas. Great dof bringing the eye to the berries and a nice tight crop on to the subject. I think this is a terrific shot. Well done.
@timrox Thank you so much! I have learned and tried more things with my camera in the last nine days than I have in the 2 years since I got it. The 365 community is so talented, inspiring, and encouraging. Being here has made all the difference. So, thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it more than you know!
Am enjoying looking at your early work Lisa and being able to comment on a page where there aren't already a gazillion other comments. You are a natural born photographer. This capture especially appeals to me although I have faved quite a few others.
@jannyography Janny, thank you for visiting so many of my images today. I was thrilled to open my email and see so many fav notices roll in! Talk about an ego boost! ;) Truly, I'm really honored and delighted that you liked what you saw. That's a big reason we do what we do, right? Making a connection through an image is what it's all about. Thank you again for the love!
