DAY104 OF MY 365 DAY CHALLENGE...

TODAYS CHALLENGE : Today and a couple of other amateur photographers went out into a local forest to share, learn and challenge ourselves... I  am self taught... and am at the stage of really wanting to push myself and step beyond my present limitations...AUTO MODE - so the others gave me a few quick tips and off we went... on full manual mode... I thought i was doing really well managing the F and the aperture, the pics seemed to be looking good through the limitations of my viewing LCD screen, however when i got home i realised that this thing called ISO would affect my pictures and my camera just happened to be set at HI which is the maximum setting possible, that is why my pics turned out grainy.... crappy way to learn this but what an amazing lesson... now i know yet another function of my camera and how to use it properly... these were some of the shots taken on the day, yes they are grainy but i wanted to share my learning curve with you... now i am using manual mode more and more and my photos are really coming along...
