I started every day with a cup of coffee on the patio, gazing out at golf greens. The greens were mostly quiet. By the time I had my coffee around 10am, most of the golfers had probably finished 18 holes and and retreated to their air conditioning. On Friday, Julia and I hit the Cabazon Outlets. I got some incredible deals, but am most excited about the Christmas stockings that I bought Bob and I. I had been eyeing them for months on the Crate & Barrel website, and bought them at the outlet for only $4.95 each! It was a very, very successful shopping trip! =)
The sunsets this weekend were incredible! The clouds shimmered as the sun set behind them. Gorgeous!
My goal is to shoot 100% in Manual mode. This weekend, I had a lot of time to play with shooting techniques. I experimented with wide apertures, shutter speed, and ISO as the evenings grew darker and darker. As a reformed Program and Aperture Priority shooter, I love the control that shooting in Manual mode gives me. My 50mm f/1.4 lens was perfect for evening photography because it lets in so much light. I love this lens, and it hardly ever leaves my camera! Eventually, I'll add the 85mm f/1.4 lens to my collection.
