Happy feet

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! I proudly present to you my very first ever photo taken using the mystical manual settings on my dSLR!

The unaware model is Nick, one of the students in the photography class (a 4-session course on getting to know your dSLR) and I took this after much fiddling, faffing and trying this, that and the other. The result is sharp and colourful and I have no idea what I would consider if I were to take another shot using full manual mode ever again.

Anyway, this evening was the last session. And I just love his socks.

ps: we have got our cat care sorted out for when we have our little break.

pps: Rest in peace lovely Pete Seeger - a life well lived.
