I am sick again. I have midterms this week. YARG. I blame this:



Damn kids. Get off my lawn.


Taken on the front porch. Yes that's me in his eyes. I've decided to leave myself there.
Evening light. 50mm . f8@1/400
1600 ISO (hence the noisy bits)


On a more positive note, I've learned that much of my frustration with my photographs is due to some default setting in my camera. I keep setting my ISO to 400, and it keeps switching it around. It took me a while to notice, but I was suffering from a great deal of frustration with the noise in my images (such as the one above). Apparently, in addition to setting the ISO, I have to turn off the auto ISO feature. Now whose bright idea was that??

Hopefully I'll feel well enough to shoot something I like and get it printed in time for my QoL assignment. I have not been terribly happy with any of the ones I've taken specifically for this assignment.
