Lugano II
It seems like Italian towns are so easy to photograph =)
I haven't been talking about my camera/learning very much because I've been so busy and just taking a ton of pictures of wherever/whatever I'm doing. I'm heading in to some down time so hope to re-focus myself on learning more with the Nikon =)
Lake Lugano
Introducing my dog, Bama (as in Alabama...not Obama ;) )
P.S I took these pictures using the S (speed) setting - a faster speed for the top picture, slower on the bottom.

IndieInk.org
Have you heard of IndieInk.org?
It's a "non-profit independant literary and art collective" - a platform and community for writers and artists to share their work. I've been reading it for awhile now - and I just love what they are doing. I like that they recognize that there is great work happening at our level - you should definitely check it out and support the artists that submit their work - and submit your own!
My picture of the Pimp Your Society grafiti is up today, see it here

Lets talk about ISO
See below for explanation of this...picture

(ISO 3200, f4.8, speed 160)
You're probably wondering if I've gone crazy - I'm posting all these pictures that I really love, etc - and then this one! Well, first...I take a million pictures that turn out really lame! But my reason for this is ISO. I'm thinking this illustrates the "image noise" that can happen when using a high ISO (3200 in this case). I've discussed how people kept telling me to automatically adjust your ISO before using your camera in M, A, S or P modes but I'm forgetful. I mean, I thought it was adjusted alright for the circumstances...but I think if I would have tried it higher f number (4.8? what was I thinking?) with a tiny bit lower ISO - it would have turned out loads better - do you think?
Views from Pilatus Mountain
I have to admit, I have been lazy with using my manual settings. I used the landscape setting on the Nikon for these pictures. I also played with the color temperature to make them a little warmer. Even though I'm not much of a landscape type picture taker - these views were pretty breathtaking!
Tell me, do you like when I make the pictures large on this blog - or just regular sized like before?
