Day 74


Day 74- Party Time

Today we had a big family party.  I took lots of pictures of family members but I completely forgot to look for a "picture of the day."  Early in the day I did use a manual focus technique to get this photo of my wine labels.  My camera is almost alway set an automatic focus.  I shoot in manual and always choose my own settings but I let the camera do the focusing.  The camera automatically wants to focus the item that is closest to the lens.  So it was focusing on the wine bottles, but I wanted the Chardonnay card that I made to be in focus.  So I switched it and manually chose the spot to focus on!

Technical Info- ISO 400, 33mm, f/4.5, 1/500
