Today was just one of those days where I was content to lounge around, reading.  Not playing on the internet, not playing with the camera… I got sucked back into reading the Sookie books.  If you’ve read them, I’m sure you may agree that they are quite addicting.

Anyway, I wasn’t in the mood to take a picture of anything today but my dad reminded me that I had wanted to take pictures of the lights outside.  He lent me his tripod (which was a bit wobbly) and then I spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out what setting I needed the camera to be on for the shot.  I still have no idea how to take the shot I was going for.  But one of the first shots I took worked out okay, not great, so I’m using it as my picture for today.

I wanted more bokeh, and I wanted to shoot it differently but it was hard – the path is crooked, some plants get in the way… excuses, excuses, I know.  Mainly it was that I had no idea what I was doing!

And now I’m going back to reading.   I’m nearly done so I should be more active online tomorrow!
