The Park

A couple days ago, I took Leilani to a park near our house to take some photos of her. I love taking pictures, and I just bought a new camera to replace the old one I had that Leilani treated like a pacifier one day.

Though I am certainly just a novice when it comes to anything beyond a 'point and shoot' camera, and make no grand illusions of being anything beyond that, I decided to buy a camera with manual aperture and shutter speed settings. I thought I might be able to produce at least a few photos that look something close to a professional picture. That is, if Leilani would cooperate long enough for me to figure out what I'm doing.

She didn't.

I took one picture of her sitting in the grass. ONE. Then she got fussy. I couldn't even get her to look in the direction of me or the camera. It was a total bust. To top it all off, I forgot to bring a bottle to calm her down. So I packed up the circus and went home.
