sharing the good stuff...

i've learned something new

~

i have always used my macro lens while in auto focus
{not auto mode, auto focus}

which has provided me with some photos i've really loved

but

now i use my macro in manual focus 

and

ohh la la

what a difference

~

on a windy day 

shooting anything outside that can move in the wind

is really hard to do while in manual focus

so it's not worth the headache

but

on a calm day 

or while shooting inside

use your manual focus and i think you'll be presently surprised

~~

now

if all of you comment saying you already do this

i'm going to slap your hands and ask you why you didn't tell me this sooner

because

i think we need to share the good stuff with each other

right

~

so today

do you have 

special shooting techniques

or

a lens you can't live without

or

a camera bag that has changed your life

or

camera settings you swear by

that you want to share with everyone

 here 

as a comment

that i can republish on a future post
linking back to you

~

if you do 

i'd love to hear from you

ps....thank you all for the amazing amounts of congratulations from yesterday's post. you're the best.
