Manual Mode and the Farmers Market


I love to take pictures.  I usually snap all of my photos in automatic mode.  I have even managed to get a few good ones that way.  But I decided it was time to force myself out of my comfort zone (as if attempting to write a blog isn't  putting me out enough) and start using the manual mode on my camera.  Thanks to the hundreds of tutorials on Pinterest, I am now ready to say goodbye to point and shoot and try to get a bit more creative.   Thank you for allowing me to share my attempts to become aquainted with aperture, shutter speed and ISO.


So I went to the local Farmers Market today.  I thought I could get some vegetables and take some experimental pictures all in one outing.  I got tomatoes, onions and green peppers to make my world famous salsa.  I also got fresh, locally grown cilantro and you know how happy that makes me.

If you want fresh, local produce, visit the Morrison Farm booth.  They have the most beautiful vegetable and are the nicest people.



 
They have the sweetest carrots.  They are my favorite.
Their zucchini is also lovely.
As are their onions.
They were also very gracious about allowing me to photograph their vegetables.  

I bought some fresh lettuce at another table and the young man there let me take some photos of his fresh cut flowers.


I also took some other photographs around town but will be saving them for next time.  I have to make salsa.
