Day 10

Sometimes I think there is something wrong with my camera…I shot in Av mode tonight and they were all DRASTICALLY underexposed. It might have been user error. Grain is supposed to be manageable with good exposure but these were all 1600 and as they were underexposed they have blue speckles in every shadow! AAH!

Oh well, just a snapshot…..part of the reason I signed up for Photo A Day was so I could remember what was going on in my life at that point. Or how I was feeling. So here’s today picture…not great AT all. All I can think of is school…so here it is! Look at the percentage! Woo!!!! Yay!!!! See you tomorrow. ;=} Love L … remember this is a terrible picture! Thanks for all your kind comments about exams!
