A gift from a neighbour
I’m finally figuring out how to use my new Canon SLR.
I used the tripod this time. Although I set up the shot, these are my hands. Without a remote, I had to have Andrew press the button. It took a few attempts, but we finally got “the money shot”.
I posted details of Lesson 1 a while back. The assignment was to take abstract photos.
I found this a challenge since my lens wouldn’t allow me to get close enough to my subjects. So I ended up cropping to get the required results.
Guess who didn’t use her tripod? Okay. Next time. Promise.
Anyway, here are some “abstract” shots.

Daisies and campanulas
I like the contrast of the bright orange centres and the purple campanulas in the background. Might be better without the daisies in the background on the left, but I wanted to capture the garden as it was.
Lesson 1 starts tomorrow. Let’s hope the rain holds off.

After almost a year away, I’m returning to this photo project. I have a new-to-me Canon Rebel XTi SLR camera and can’t wait to learn to use it to its fullest.
I plan to return to the Morgue file photo lessons on the weekends and post a photo a day during the week.
Feel free to drop by and comment. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. I can’t improve without it.
Happy snapping.
