Photo Failure

The Eastern Shore has some amazing hiking trails, parks and waterfronts in the area. We decided to check out the Pickering Creek Audubon Center close to Easton one warm Saturday. We didn't quite make it all the way of the creek, but the place was pretty beautiful. When we got home I proudly pulled out my pics from the day.

Look at that picture I shot of the windmill. Bet you couldn't get that shot? Determined to dunce me my husband states "Did you shoot this on Automatic?" Uh NOOO!

The truth is I shoot all my pictures on automatic. I bought my husband the Nikon D90 for his birthday last year. It was one of those gifts that you really want for yourself, but you buy in the hopes that the other person a. will not really want it, b. see though your lame attempts at buying yourself a gift, or c. wait patiently for their hand-me-downs. But my husband did want the camera! He caught me ordering it from Newegg and proceeded to tell me about add ons that would make the camera even hotter. We decided to "share it" equally and learn the ins and outs of photography. He proceeded to learning about ISO's, shutter speed, F stops, Focus, and all types of other things that make my head go blurry. In the end he learned how to shoot actual pictures, and I learned how to click all the buttons to A.

Now that Alex is here my automatic days may be numbered. How am i supposed to catch him in action on automatic?



And for the record. I meant to make my trees blurry. Ehem.
