Hey Sam:

Your photos are looking kinda creepy lately. The eerie worm, now this! Are you getting ready for Halloween or what?

How did you make it so shadowy and fuzzy? Did you take the photo in black and white?

When you say manual focus, what do you mean? I know my camera can do it but I don't know how.

well choo,i was out with my close up filter just checking out what was around me here at the house at sunrise.and I do love halloween.
as the sun hit the back of the bush it just looked creepy,don't know where the spider was.this thing looked like a death trap,and was.
no my auto focus was jumping around so much I just went with manual focus.on something that's not moving,manual focus might be the key.it was in color,but my scanner didn't recognize it.so I got this.ok with me.
there should be a button or setting where you can set your camera to manual focus.
from the weather you had ,the weather around here has been cloudy and dreary.so I went out looking for something else.
shadowey and fuzzy?it was so hazy and misty and when the sun broke through,i took the picture.
i was on the dark side.don't limit yourself to one kind of picture.the other shots will only increase your knowledge of your camera settings,and your potential.
i re-read my manual at least once a week.i may have missed something?
i also bought a after market manual.much better explanation of my cameras capabilities.it should be your best friend?
later,sam

Thanks for the suggestion to re-read the manual, Sam. I don't do it as often as you do and there is so much in it I don't know or understand. I'll read how I can do manual focus. I'd like to give it a try, see if I can create something different? You never know! This photo is great for Halloween! #1946038
