Using Different Camera Modes

Holy Moly!  Sometime back I made it my goal to post on my blog once a week - at a minimum. Well my last post was in April, so I'm obviously failing miserably.  Daily life has got in the way of blogging, but luckily it has not taken me away from my camera. I've been snapping away like crazy.

Recently I've been trying to experiment and learn more using different camera settings.  I've been using my manual settings more, but I've also been trying out the various auto modes.  I took these shots of some lovely yellow glads my hubby brought me.  I put the camera on a tripod, placed the vase of flowers in front of my black fridge - no surprise there if you've read my previous posts! ;) - and proceeded to shoot the same scene using different shooting modes.

Different Camera Settings

I won't go into detail about the exact modes used because all cameras are different. But even if you're using a point & shoot, it most likely has lots of options to choose from.  My goal is simply to encourage you to try them out and see what you get.  

The above are samples from images straight out of the camera.  No editing.  Or I should say, no editing yet!  My next post will be one of these images after I run it through Elements and have my way with it.  Yee Haw!
