If you’ve been following BetterInBulk and ManicMother ~ you’ll know that they co-host Bloggography, a cool blog tutorial and meme recently featuring the very basics of digital photography.  This week’s challenge is what our favorites are from the three important ‘must learns’:  ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed.  Honestly, I like them all a lot but Aperture has got to be my favorite.   When I take my camera for a spin, I literally take hundreds of pictures and like perhaps 10% of them.  I practice everyday and I have been known to beg my always-traveling sister to get me totes bags from her travels that will hold my camera.  I do not carry a camera bag but I carry my camera everywhere.

I have been known to take pictures while driving.  No law broken    so no worries.  I just always have it set to ‘shoot’ at any given time.

All that said, I’m happy to share some photos taken from my sister’s home last Sunday.  It was an impromptu visit as she had just returned from  two weeks in Asia and Europe [and yup, I scored another bag].   Thank ye, sis!  I really went there cuz I missed you

Scored

Okay, so back to the photos I want to share this week.  Stills and blooms are some of my favorite objects to photograph.  That’s why I can’t wait for spring!!

And my nephew-dog ~ Oreo ~ gets some mention this week, too!

Taken in my fave f/1.8 and ISO 100.  Oreo was just trying to mimic my niece-human  who was trying to strike a ‘mean girl’ pose at my request.

Hmmm ~ who looks better?  Hard to tell

If you’re loving your camera and want to learn or share, head on over HERE and follow those that are on the same fun adventure.  I’m headed over there to link up right now.  Go visit everyone and say hello!

Till next week!  Same time (late) same channel.
