My camera takes wonderful pictures.
I set it on auto, point, shoot,
and usually I am lucky to have a good one!

I really want to learn to take better pictures,
with a little more control of how they turn out.
So, I am working on a little bit each month...
August's theme: Fabric ~
I chose to take them outside near a friend's flowers.
All are the same 55mm lens and 100 ISO.
The clouds kept alternating with sunshine, which changed things a bit.
Then I tried the camera in manual options with auto focus..

These fabrics are all from IKEA.
I had no idea they had such fun ones!
Still need to work on the shooting though.
Twenty-one photos.....
