Reading by the river


Here's a picture I took during our last trip to the Sequoia. Sorry, I haven't had time to post it, but here it is. Anjali and I were staying at a B&B which had this river flowing behind. We were relaxing and enjoying the quietness just before sunset when I took this.

What new feature did I use on the camera?
I'd never used Aperture mode on my camera (I'm still a rookie) I know it's not a fancy feature, but I learned something about photography & my camera while fooling around with this mode while taking the picture. I really like the light and how the background is all blurred.

  1. Glad you found this feature on your camera, Amit. Aperture priority mode is a very useful mode to shoot with, you will get hooked to this, especially if you like shallow depth of field.

  2. I love this mode and usually use it as my 'default'. Looks like Anjali is deep in thought or reading about your next stop in Sequoia!!

  3. love this one man.. absolutely love it.. sometimes you just get one of these whether you were discovering some feature of your camera or not.. if there is anything.. i would see how can reduce the light at the top left corner of the image... cropping wouldn't help the frame..
