How exciting is that??

I didn't think the week could get any better, but hey - never stop hoping, right?
After weeks of wondering where the white balance was hidden in my camera (good thing when you lose the description), I finally had the idea to look it up in the interwebz. I had suspected it to be hiding somewhere behind the "func"-button and I had pushed that button a few times without getting further, though.
Today I had the perfect idea. I set the camera to German and found that gave me not only symbols, but even a few words. There it was "Weißabgleich", yay.
This is like reaching the last camp before getting to the peak of Mt. Everest. After all I am not a pro. I'm not even an amateur. I am somewhere between a snail and a frog regarding my photographic abilities. But I'm a determined snog (no, that is not a word, I know, but would be a nice name for a snaily frog, don't you think?) and eventually I'll come around.

Embarrassing

So I spent hours in my mom's garden to take pictures in natural light. I photographed till the batteries ran low - ok, they hadn't been fresh from the beginning, but still.
When at home I checked the about 150 pictures, I was ready to throw myself into the Fils, but decided not to because it is hardly deep enough to drown in there with style. I think about 10 pictures were left in the end.
Thanks to a sunny, but windy day. I didn't think it would make that much difference, but of course crochet pieces are lightweight and even if I didn't see them move, obviously they did. And I didn't even get cake!
Oh Man.
