Here we are and it is almost December!

November Photo Workshop~

Another lesson to improve my pictures.

Or attempt anyway ;-)

This month's assignment was using the White Balance Control

and adjusting it as needed...

First I went outside and used the auto everything.

My camera is so smart!

Then I started playing.  

I switched to Direct Sunlight since that is where I was.

A bit of a wipe-out at 1250 sec f/2.5 100 ISO

A little more visible at 125 sec

One more try at 250

 I then attempted a custom setting using a grey card 

included in my book..

I think the custom turned out better than using an auto correct in the computer 

after the shot.

 But I still need to practice...a lot.....

Check out others who are working on their pictures as well!

You can join in anytime.

The next assignment will be January!
