Week 19

f4, 1/350 sec., ISO-200, 100 mm

Week 19 - July 8-14

This week finds me shooting photos while wearing a cast.  Unfortunately for me, when I fell last week, I broke a bone near my right thumb.  I am now in a cast for the next 4-6 weeks.  This does make photography more challenging as I am trying to balance my camera, hold it steady and take photos.  I also made the decision to put my camera on the "auto" mode to make it a bit easier for me to manage the camera.  

Some of you may be wondering why I don't use a tripod.  Well, that answer is pretty easy.  I used to have one and found that I never used it, so I gave it to my brother, who lives in another city, far away from me.  So I am trying to make the best of it.

I went down a different part of the path, took a right instead of a left.  There is so much to photograph.  It's funny how some days, you walk by something thinking there is not much to look at but on other days, there is so much to look at!  I found these grasses at the far end of a parking lot, behind a hockey arena.  They were just so colourful and pretty.  I have to say that I notice so much more detail in macro photography.  I am kind of a details person, so it is really right up my alley.  It always seems to be windy when I am out.  I will stand and wait until it dies down, then shoot.
