Afraid I'm getting too old to have the patience for that. But still enjoy trying...but spoiled by the digital age!PRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429172501061105316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468891502132816575.post-41185153445971301072011-03-21T21:52:03.001-04:002011-03-21T21:52:03.001-04:00I am so glad you got pix Pat.

I covered a donkey basketball game once and all I got were the back ends of the donkeys. It was funny. People wanted pix of their kids on the donkeys and all I shot was their tails.Debie Elliotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468891502132816575.post-9267973887967123892011-03-21T15:05:16.416-04:002011-03-21T15:05:16.416-04:00:-) mate, I've experienced the same photograph...:-) mate, I've experienced the same photography problems with my digital camera. Taking "manual" photo's is a real challenge for night shots, especially setting exposure times.<br /><br />Tried like hell to get a decent shot of that moon rising over Oneida Lake, and the atmospheric conditions were almost perfect, clear sky, calm, not too cold, but alas, no tripod and extreme difficulty seeing/changing the manual settings.<br /><br />Back in the day, I'd take out my Minolta 35mm (state of the art) camera set in the manual mode and after one or two metered test shots would almost always have a perfect shot.<br /><br />My eyes aren't what they once were and working at night with a set of bifocals on...well, you can guess the results, **sigh**.Cookie.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00949670068350863770noreply@blogger.com
