hoary morning

it was foggy here last night and, when we woke up, the sky was falling. i grabbed the camera to see if i could capture the shimmery atmosphere, but it really just looks like it's snowing. this is an attempt at shooting on manual with my fstop and iso pushed around to capture the light.

this, however, is what the camera did on its own when i set it to "intelligent auto." it did a better job of capturing the light, whereas my attempts to play with the manual settings weren't quite quick enough and overemphasized the movement of the sparkles.

here, though, i played a little with depth of field on a light fixture just outside our back door. kind of fun getting a tight focus up close, moving the lens slightly, and taking the shot before it refocuses.
