Now that I’m settling into our new home, I’m starting to pick old hobbies again. I’ve dusted off my Nikon and am taking pictures again.
Last weekend, I spent an hour just taking pictures in our backyard. This one was one of my favorites just because it seems so fresh and clean.

I also started to press buttons and turn all the fancy knobs on my camera. Here are examples of some of the shots I got. The first shot is one where I focused on two pots in the background. I shot at 1/40 sec and f5.6.

For the second shot, I focused on the flower at 1/60 sec and also f5.6.

These were taken at dusk, so there was no direct sunlight, but it also wasn’t dark just yet.
