"M"

I went to my 2nd photography class last night and my camera is officially set to "M", manual exposure. We are learning about the exposure compensation, spot metering and depth of field. The 1st week we had to take pictures of things in our backyard and this week it can be of anything. So, from here on out the pictures I post will no longer be automatic. I bet I have taken 500 pictures over the last week and I can definitely see a difference from my day to day shooting. Here's a few that are in order of how I took them.
