Intelligent Autofocus

That's what my camera calls it.  I mostly leave it on that IA setting... because at the moment...I'm still just learning about the camera...and, not spending enough time with it...nor have I even read the little book that comes with it... or the book that came with my extra lens... bad me, bad me!

However, I am having a blast with what I am doing.  Got lots of cute birdie photos ... always on the lookout for something for Wild Bird Wednesdays now... and, also for Good Fences on Thursday.

While I was waiting for the little House Wren to come back one day...I got to looking through the few finder and noticed a few daisies out beyond the birdie bath..just nodding lazily in the heat of the day.  And, it WAS hot!  My skin was beginning to feel like it was on fire.

If I look at something.. half click the shutter button..it shows little green boxes and, then..if I press it again..it focuses on just what is in the little green boxes.  I pressed and pressed; here and there and, all of a sudden... thought, how beautiful would one of these shots be.

I took several.  Cropped one,  ...   and even got rid of a funny half dead twig sticking out in the midst of it all.... I love it!

I give you a daisy today...and, loaded a larger one than usual... click on to "biggity" and don't smell them... they don't smell very nice..but, they do look beautiful!

January 6....photo a day...

Look, the snow melted...the sun shone and daisies bloomed !!! Yeh.... right ..... and I just won the lottery too ... hahahhahahha














Back to reality.... after seeing all the colour on everybody else's pics... I did decide to add a splash of colour to my snow shots. Not that the trees and other thing aren't beautiful...just to add some colour for today.....














Then, as I turned to go back inside ... "taking my splash of colour" with me...














...... there it was.... my other splash of great colour...... colourful berries and pretty PINE cones. Not the million useless puny fir or spruce cones that fell in the snow. Now, this is what I call "cones" ... the real thing. I love the pine cones. I can do things with them.... the others are too small and funny feeling to touch... and aren't much good for anything except some practice swings with my 7 iron. If they sail over the neighbour's fence...back from whence they came.....I feel like I have it sort of right...and off I go for a round with my "old guys"... (in the summer of course...!) ... you know...like, when those daisies are the only thing in my yard that is snow white!
