The boys have really been enjoying the hot weather lately. Yesterday, my friend, Kristin, brought her three kids over to play in the water with Gav and Owen. They all had a ball (well all the "big" kids did, baby Otto got to watch from his stroller!) but I forgot to bring my camera out so I don't have any pictures (aww man!). This afternoon, Gav wanted to go back out and play in his alligator pool so I decided to get some pictures this time! Recently, I have been working on using my camera only in the manual mode. I'm not really sure why it has taken me this long to take it off of automatic, but it has been surprisingly easy to learn to shoot in manual! I put it off because I thought it was going to be super complicated and when I would read about how to shoot in manual, it all seemed so confusing. About a month ago, I read an article on Pinterest that explained it in really simple terms and it all finally clicked! I have been shooting in manual ever since! I know I probably still have a long way to go and a lot more to learn, but I have really been pleased with the quality of photos I have been getting! Today, it was fun to play with my camera while the boys played in the water. The running water really made the resulting photos neat!
Check out that beach body!
I love the way this photo turned out!
Owen ate a rock, so Gav, being the good big brother that he is, helped him get it out of his mouth!
Just loungin' in the baby pool.
I was saying "Smile for mom, Gav!" and this is what I got!
