190: Focus

I'm so excited to be learning more and more about my new camera and ways to use it more effectively. While I've been shooting in manual mode I've still kept my lens on auto focus and getting a little frustrated when my camera wouldn't take a photo of something that was too close or it was unable to focus on. But hello manual focus. I'm in love all over again. I assumed I'd be getting ahead of myself by trying to focus the camera while getting all the other settings just right for a shot but turns out it's great fun. This lovely little dried flower, artificial flower combination sitting on our dresser made the perfect practicing subject.

I'm having a little weekend away from tomorrow, but I'll still be taking photographs and be back on Monday with them ready to post. Until then everyone have a fabulous Friday and weekend. Take care.

096: Havaianas for the fridge fairies

Check out these adorable mini Havaiana thong magnets I've popped on my fridge. So cute, just like the real things but with a magnet on the bottom and x20 smaller than usual. Some of these prints are my all time favourites. Wanted to get another close up in, playing around with the focus in the foreground and background. I like the white surroundings in this pic and the simple effect it gives the photo.

061: Mementos

Again more lights! Haha I just can't help it. These cute little ornaments capture a nice little shine off their curves and the daintily painted colours and details are a nice focus point for the picture.
