First, let me apologize for the "graininess" of this image. I wanted to have a little bit of flash since with no flash, my hands shake too much to make a decent picture ... it ends up blurry, but not a lot since using the flash did that whole "shiny cover" thing. So what I did was leave the flash on, but cover it with my hand. I've done it before with my old camera with pretty decent results. Didn't really get good results this time. Anyway ... I digress.
The reason why I chose this image was because last night before bed I read this volume of my favorite Manga of all time: Fruits Basket. There's only one more volume remaining (I think). I can't tell you how many YEARS I've been following this series. About 3 years ago (maybe longer?) I started collecting the manga (since it goes more in depth that the DVDs) ... desperate to know what happened (since the DVDs don't go into the whole "breaking of the curse" thing). And last night ... in this volume ... I found out. The next volume (which I think is the last volume) we get to see what happens next (kind of like an epilogue I think).
This one didn't turn out too badly. I decided to turn off the flash completely. Now ... even though the background is kinda fuzzy ... the foreground looks okay. Me love da watery-melons! *drools* They're kinda in season now ... so I buy one every week.
A close up of one of the bushes outside of my apartment complex along the path that leads to the bus stop. I used the macro function ... but I think I was too close for it to work properly. Y'see ... I find it easier looking through a view finder ... my brain processes things better that way I guess. It's difficult for me to switch to LCD screen only. Know what I'm sayin'?
And here's another of the bushes along the same path. It was raining a little bit this morning. :O)
Yup, there is no limit in how many pics you take only how few.
ReplyDeleteI watched Fruits Basket w/ my daughter! I may just have to start buying her the manga, I know she would love it too.
Ooooooo. I like how the raindrops sparkle on the white flowers!
ReplyDeleteI think the pictures turned out well!! Any camera takes some time to get used to the quirks. Nobody can tell me every camera works the same, cuz that's just not true. Haha. My DH got better pics from my old camera than I did. It likes him better.
ReplyDeleteThe white bush is BEAUTIFUL. I love the waterdrops on it. The green leaves is lovely too. I like how some are blurred and other points of the photo are sparkling clear. It's like it was meant to be that way :) Great job!
Beautiful pictures! mmm.. now I'm hungry for watermelon. (LOL)
