inarguably the nicest thing about digital cameras is the fact that it documents all the settings used for a particular photo. ever since i started photography, i never really kept track of what aperture and shutter speeds i used. in large part its because i'm lazy, but it's also because i never really wanted approach photography as an exact science, despite my enginerdiness. it's kind of like when i learned how to drive stick; i'd shred up the clutch to my brother's car trying to figure out at what rpm to shift, when all along i should've just gone with the feel. luckily, i learned that lesson before getting my own car . after six months, shifting was a piece of cake and became second nature.
about the photo... i went to the sarah p. duke gardens today to snap more photos, but it's difficult to find anything interesting after being there so many times. the gardens was just begging for macro shots, but it was hard to find one with an interesting background. a flower among a bed of flowers is kind of boring. a flower among a bed of rocks is a bit more interesting.
