It has been an unseasonably warm and dry summer here in the Bay area this year, so the flowers are already staring to bloom and the trees are budding out. I thought this would be a great opportunity to try out my new camera that I got as an (early) Valentine's day gift.
The mall was fun because there were a bunch of waterfalls which gave me a chance to mess around with my shutter speeds:
To catch the duck taking off I set my shutter to 1/200s
To catch the duck taking off I set my shutter to 1/200s

 Here is another example (Remember to increase the aperture to make up for loss of light with a shorter shutter speed): |
I am slowly learning to use my camera, and it is amazing all the things you see when you looking through a viewfinder.
That tree/bush thing with the dark blue berries - we used to have one behind our house in Cali and we called it the poo-berry tree 'cause it made one HECK of a mess when the berries came down. It was gross.
