the strangest thing.... by quietpurplehaze

the strangest thing....

... no, not the yellow rose, but the fact that this morning, after the first session of the digital photography workshop, and although we haven't yet touched in any depth on settings, I had the confidence to go out and take a shot on 'aperture priority'. Osmosis?!
Well done Hazel - it will soon be second nature to you!! My most used setting is AV - it will soon make sense I am sure!! Beautiful rose with lovely droplets!!

Thanks, Pam, but hang on - I'm only up to ap.... not av......!!!!

@quietpurplehaze Oh on my Canon Aperture Priority is the AV setting.

@pamknowler

I guessed afterwards that it must be the same!

Well done Hazel - I still struggle with settings from time to time but hope to think I am getting there! This is a really pretty shot.

The worst scenario is when you set something on your camera and then can't work out how to unset it! Well, for me anyway.

good for you Hazel, there will be no going back!

Nice shot, love the water drops. I mostly use my camera in 'AP', gives a lot of control but can still be used for quick shots if needed.

You'll be doing layers and masks next! Well done.

Oh ~WOW, I'm jealous! . I only have brow fungus in my garden . Not such wonderful roses as you`ve. You did captured this one magnificent.
I found only one red one that day . It`s a bit to early in season for it . It was pretty hidden in a swamp ( Ina was with me and did n`t see it as she did n`t want to get wet feet/shoes ) and yes , they are poisonous.

Well done :0)

One red toadstool is all you need! The rose was climbing over a nearby garden wall and I saw it on my walk with Jinks so went back to get my camera.

Super image, Hazel. Soon be the last rose of summer! Pleased the workshop is good.
September 26th, 2013  
Hooray for your first AV shot!!! great job!

Lovely image Hazel, well done. My most used setting on my camera is also 'aperture priority' (AV on my Canon too) trouble is I still don't really understand exactly what it means!!!
September 27th, 2013  
Love the pov and subject. My Canon is 'stuck' on AV most of the time :) - does give a lot of control as Richard says.
