Manual Setting Photos

I am continuing to experiment with manual settings.  I took a lot of photos of these gladiolas and ended up culling them back to this and another photo.  This one works for me because of the way different stamens appear to be light or dark depending on the background.

I also took a billion photos of Cicero to try to get an in-focus picture that didn't make him a black blot in shadows or an over-exposed cat with ruddy fur.

By the time I got the exposure time correct for the overcast sky, the cats had come together for some mutual grooming.

Another Cicero shot.  The goal was to have his eyes in focus.

I moved from the cats to the bees in the artichoke plants.

Bees are hard to photograph; there were two and they kept either hiding deep in the flower or wriggling out of focus.

I culled many photos.









Went to the gym Wednesday (4/10) night.  Did the regular routine with a little extra sideways-elliptical work.  I need to examine my diet, as the bicycle tire seems to be thickening.
