You've identified it perfectly!!! That's what my blog hopping does to me, but I'm so fickle. My bloggy crushes may only last until I find the next fabulous blog to fall in love with and well, I admitted it I'm fickle and a two timing son-of-blog hopper! May I use your term "bloggy crush" on my blog?

But yes, Aperture priority is my fave because I shoot a lot of macro stuff and I love shallow depth of field. I've not shot too much in RAW because of storage issues. I don't have Lightroom, only CS3, but I'm thinking I may need to try the beta version currently available...<br /><br />And omigosh, that mushroom dish sounds amazing!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-86147364625467863572010-04-28T06:29:47.272-05:002010-04-28T06:29:47.272-05:00My camera is not much more than a point and shoot ...My camera is not much more than a point and shoot so....<br /><br />As to life's simple joys...every time I've seen my 14 month old grandson lately he has gotten so excited.

I do try to shoot manually from time to time just to try and get a handle on some of the settings. I mostly shoot in Aperture Priority and hate the internal flash. Lighting is something I need to research and become more knowledgeably about. All I do know at this juncture is that I am in love with my camera and we go out on dates every day!

Interesting links, warm hugs, and my favorite: camera info.<br />I would not call myself a photographer, but people who know me do. I shoot in green mode and am not proud of that fact. I don't know how to shoot in raw. Well, I know how to shoot in it, but how to process in it and save it is a different story. The problem is finding the time to do all of it with working full time. Ah, but such is life.<br />Always a pleasure visiting you, one of my crushes. Only 3 years?!
