Lincoln+Lake

This is Lincoln Lake. I actually took these with a new camera, and this assignment has given me a good idea of what to do with my digital camera. I have definitely "experimented" with the camera. This lake is covered with beautiful American orchids which look like waterlilies. I found that I have a great deal of difficulty not getting blurry pictures, and I have always considered myself a pretty experienced amateur photographer--at least film cameras. I tried some indoor pictures, but they seemed to be more blurry than outdoors. On the first photo shows a subject but with a far away background. In the next the lake and lilies can be seen closer. The third is total zoom out, with no person.

I have been a bit overwhelmed with the entire "end" process and I end up doing things by the back door I am afraid. I have some comfort in just dropping off my film reel--and even in taking the pictures. In the film world, what's done is done--not constant re-taking and re-taking. Of course if I could ever get the hang of the "end" processes I am sure I will be happier in the digital world.
