Ed recently asked if I could take some pictures of the bands he got from some geese while hunting. Tracy gave me advice about how to do the close ups. I've been experimenting a little, but I need to put more effort into commiting the settings to memory. The other night I shot the bananas on the table. Here's my favorite shot. I really like the lighting in this one. It almost looks like a painting to me.
Here's my close up. It came out quite nicely, especially considering I didn't use a tripod.
Too bad I don't remember the settings I used! One of these days I'll remember to write it down.

Watch out, Kathy, that photography thing can get addictive! My advice is to forget the notes and just go and take pictures. Then, when you read something or hear something you play with it until it's just part of your mental toolkit.
For example, the other day I was talking to A and he says that the first thing he does when he starts to shoot is a, b, and c. I always started with c, but now I try to add a and b as well. If you had told me a few weeks ago to always do all three I would have laughed at you, but now that c is nailed I can add a and b.
O.k. that's enough early-morning blather.
