Fist of all, for the February Photo Fun! This month I have been working on learning shutter priority, which of course is going to take a long time to perfect. But as soon as something clicks in my brain and I can apply it and see a result, I am so pumped! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here was my first effort at freezing kids in action. I think the only drawback to these is the trampoline netting. I have read that with the new mirrorless cameras their AI focus can remove or ignore when shooting through netting or fences, which is pretty cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, yesterday we were able to gather at Grandma’s to celebrate her 82nd trip around the sun! Almost all of us were there, and there were after-church donuts, lots of running around and playing on the patio, a tremendous amount of laughter, and for lunch, delicious New York Pizza, Carrot Cake and Chocolate Decadence. So much sweet! Too much for me, I barely had a corner of carrot cake, but it was amazing. We are so blessed to have one another. I treasure every moment of family time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ellie got to have full use of the little Panasonic Lumix FZ60 camera for the day, and here are her best shots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are my phone pix, since I always like to have a few of those…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And finally these few, these happy few…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
