Project 366 - Week 6

I'm feeling some photographic progress, which is what I wanted to accomplish from this challenge.  Still plenty to learn and develop but I'm stepping in the right direction.


A couple of things I've learned this week;
1) To remember to take my camera with me even on those days when I think that I won't need it, like a boring trip up the road.  It's amazing what I might see or happen
2) That patience does pay off.  Most of us taking part in this challenge know that on Thursday 6th, Auckland saw an amazing sunset followed by a full moon.  I headed off that evening to attempt to take some shots of the moon, but the clouds were thick and I thought that I would never see it and had missed my photo opportunity that day (and hadn't taken any other shots that day, so was beginning to stress!).  But with a little encouragement and sitting it out, I managed to get a shot of the full moon rising over the harbour bridge.  Happy girl!
3) That a lot of photos do not end up on this blog!!!


Thanks to Belinda's encouragement, I am only using the full manual shooting function on my camera now.  At the moment this means I'm slower at taking shots as I'm still learning to quickly adjust both aperture and shutter settings myself, but on a positive note, I'm learning and getting better each week.  I also played around with the manual focus (i.e. switching the auto focus off) as I found this worked better with any landscape shots I took.
