100 Things That Make Me Happy: #4
4. Going through my photos after a session with my camera and finding one or two truly beautiful shots.
This does not happen as often as you'd think (or I would like, hee). I take a LOT of photos, but I have to because my skills are still so new. I'm not at the stage where the technical stuff - F-stops, aperture, judging lighting - are relatively second nature, and so I don't have time to focus on the composition, either. Frankly most of my good shots right now are luck. *g* But sometimes they are purposeful, and when THAT happens, it is a moment of real joy for me: I've managed to capture something on "film" that I saw in my mind's eye. I'm hoping those get more frequent as I learn more and get more practice!
Today, for instance, I got this one:
ION: I am all caught up on Parks & Recreation! This is VERY EXCITING news for me because it means I can now watch live with people and read their episode reviews and engage in CURRENTLY AIRING fannish glee.
