It Happens Every Time

I found these very tiny blue flowers the other day, and I thought they would be a perfect subject to write a post about. So I got my camera out and prepared it to get a perfect shot. There was one problem though.

Every time I tried to get these flowers into focus, it didn't work. Argh!! This is what has been happening to me every time I try to get a macro shot. I try all sorts of different camera modes that never work. I tried the macro setting first. Then I tried manual focus, but I can't see well enough for that to help.

After awhile I got everything into focus but these tiny flowers. You can see all sorts of plants and weeds, and even gravel, as clear as day in this picture, but my subject was completely out of focus. Sometimes I just take as many pictures as I can and hope for the best, but that never works in these situations.

So what did I finally decide to do? I decided to post my best pictures on the internet and whine about it to anyone who would listen. Hah! That'll teach those rotten flowers. I will say that I've never been known to always post the greatest pictures. The story's the thing.

Not to worry though. I have other posts coming with better flower pictures. Maybe not the best, but they're certainly better than these. I just like to show what really happens when a person is out taking pictures. Sometimes things just don't turn out perfectly.

One of these days I might lean my lesson and only post the best pictures, but then again, I doubt it. These are sometimes just as fun, especially if you get a little of the story behind them. Real is better. And I guess that's enough. I'll talk to you later.

Another View Of The Flowers

I kept saying I needed to get a few shots of those little yellow flowers from a little farther back. So finally, here they are! They're mixed in with a lot of other weeds and some thistle. The best part this time was that I wasn't attacked by bugs!

I could see bugs hopping around these weeds so much that the plants actually shook as I walked by, but they didn't come out to get me this time. My problem is that even with all of these different plants I didn't know exactly what to take pictures of. I really don't have a good eye for plants.

I did get several different shots of some things I liked, so maybe that's what it takes. I thought this one picture today had a good variety of colors, so I decided to feature it for now. After taking some more pictures, my camera's batteries unexpectedly died on me, so it was time to head back home.

And I'm still waiting on my big news. You'll probably be the first people to hear about it when it happens because I'll probably rush to my computer to write a post about it. It sure is hard waiting. I'll get by though. I'll talk to you later.
