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!

customary break

It's been a long winter. Despite few changes to the routine since last winter (aside from that whole marriage thing), I haven't been nearly as prolific or motivated to getting a good photosafari under my belt on a weekly or biweekly basis. I could proffer some excuses, but that's all they'd be.

Excuses. I won't bore you with them and hope that springtime brings new opportunities for photogging adventures to share. Cheers!
