Disappearing Net Photos

 

I bowed out of the “A to Z” challenge a couple of days ago, but I had some posts already prepared for it so I might as well go ahead and post some of them.  This was my post for “D”.

Net lines. So many of my potentially great trampoline photos have been ruined by the nets.

I just wanted to share this cool trick I learned with my new camera.

Everyone else who’s had an SLR for a while probably knows this trick, but since I just entered the world of the SLR, it’s all new to me.

To make net lines (or zoo cage bars or fences,etc.) disappear:

*Set your lens to telephoto

*Set camera to Av mode and open your aperture as wide as possible

*Get close to the subject

And the lines disappear!

I don’t have it down perfect yet but I think it’s so stinkin’ cool.

I love my new camera.  🙂

We have lots of reasons to smile this week because our baby finally got released from the hospital after 11 days.

It’s good to be home.

  1. Sure, you might as well post whatever you had prepared. I don’t know that your link got taken off the list or not.

    Glad the ordeal with your child is over for now. Hopefully all will be better now.

  2. I am SO glad to hear you and your baby boy are home! I hope the future holds lots of health and strength for your little one. He’s been through so much already.

    I do love SLRs, don’t you? Oh the possibilities.

    Have a wonderful day, mama.

  3. I am so, so happy to hear your baby is home! I saw your post about your baby being in the hospital last week, and you said, “And I don’t know what else to say.” And I thought, “I don’t either.”

    You said something on my blog about being intrigued by writing, but not having the courage to try.

    Well, Scarlett, bad news: You’re already a writer. It isn’t about books or poems or characters or plots. Those are just tools and media. Writing is about using words to share emotion and communicate truth.

    You do that so very well. So. ‘Fraid you fell in with the writing lot when you weren’t looking. Now, I’ll not tell your artist friends–but there’s a price for silence. Someday you may have to teach me to draw damselflies…

      Thanks so much, Joe.
      Hmmm…I guess I do write a tiny bit. I never thought about it that way.
      What I think about when I say ‘writing’ is ‘story’ mainly. Stories, characters, plots…these are the things that are so fascinating
      to me, and why I really enjoy your blog. I’ve tried to come up with original stories before (it’s been a few years) and never could do it.
