Road to Grammies I

Today I was taking full enjoyment of the liberty of time I have. I was on my way out, with then expecting me at some point, and so when I felt the urge to pull over and snap photos, I did. The only problem is I like the look of everything, and this a beautiful province. 

Best:

Others:

 About 18 feet up the road from this one, I had a pheasant walking slowly across. I stopped, to pull my camera back out, and it flew up, over four feet and into a field before I had time.

On the way home after this, there was a rainbow across the fields.  I also missed a shot of a low flying plane, next to my grandparents house, with a tree cropping up the left side of the feild. Too slow.

Lessons:
I need to remember even when rushing because I'm at the side of a road, to check my view screen to balance my exposure. The camera makes some weird decisions when I trust it. Also, the hurried approach isn't great, because the first six ways I look at a scene are typical and boring. Usually around snap 8, I've done enough looking around and thinking that I get something worth taking.

This was the best of series of shots that had a cool concept, terrible execution. I am so enraptured with depth of field that I keep cutting it too shallow, and these end up less giving you a sense of depth, and more making you squint at them.

I really need to have my camera cleaned.
