    :jellydance: Looks like fun. I wish the camper was done so we could go camping already...

    Yep, we got a ton of rain that day.

    Camera is working fairly great. The weird thing is playing with all of the extra settings, like close up, portrait, landscape, etc. I feel like just setting it to auto does a better job at what that specific setting was supposed to do. The one I do find useful is sports. It sets the shutter speed lower than auto usually does (1/1000, while auto usually does 1/250) and burst mode is automatically on. Other than that I am still learning about some of the manual settings.

    That last tip was how I learned where to put the shutter speed when messing around on shutter priority. haha I tried taking some pics with really fast and really slow shutter speeds that turned out horrible.

    I'll have to look for the bracketing feature.

    We got 5 panels up today before we called it quits because the weather was getting bad.

    the bracketing might be listed as AEB - auto exposure bracketing. I used it a lot when I was learning. Still do sometimes when I'm just not sure.
    for shutter speeds - moving things like a person walking should be good around 1600 or faster, moving things like a car moving would be around 3200 or faster. slow shutter speeds are tough, you gotta be still - think of it like shooting a rifle at a long range. line up, take a deep breath, aim, shoot, exhale. waterfalls and rivers are a good place to practice. learn to catch the water drops in mid air or make the water look all wispy.

    some progress is better than none :thumbsup:

    I would definitely need some more comfortable shoes if I did this more often

    Well, you have been a little busy with stumps lately. ;) Sounds like you're slowly winning that battle though. :thumbsup:

    Going good. We really enjoyed the Iowa trip. I'm behind on my yard chores though. Getting caught up, hope to get the backyard sectioned off by this weekend so I can seed it and get some grass to grow. Have to do two phases so the pups have a section available to them.

    Check live... won the battle with two of the little fat men!!! :D

    Good trips are always a plus. :thumbsup: I'll be seeding here sooner or later, once all the stumps are gone and I've gotten the yard leveled out and the sprinklers re-placed.

    :woot: hiya B

    :wave: sorry weesa... :pout:
