fine tuning

I've often looked at photos of doorways and wondered how the eyes behind the lenses trained themselves how to compose the shots, making them catch the viewers' eyes as it caught theirs. Something I've learned recently: practice. Everyone seems to have their own tricks. If it's the color you want, make your camera capture the color. Fool around with the settings, and take 100 different shots of the same door. Bring them home, and critique them. Good luck remembering the setting you liked best!

Lee's eye caught the old Cadillac. My camera disappointed me on the details. This one came out exactly as planned.

antique cream pies, too?


My hunt for an antique trunk brought me to Leesburg. I had to wait for this store to open; luckily, they had a few antiques setting outside. I had my camera and couldn't resist.
