So on Tuesday I was talking with my mom about how I needed to take pictures with the film camera. It was close to four in the afternoon. I was explaining to her how I couldn't tell where the light meter was in the camera. I was standing at the kitchen sink and saw this dog come running out of the woods.  My dog who was outside ran up to the other dog to great him. Then all the sudden they where jumping up in the air and running around play. I knew if I went to get my camera I would still have to load the film in and I still didn't know how to tell what the light meter was so I didn't want to risk the over or under exposer. Then the owner of the dog came out of the woods and called for his dog and the dog left. I defiantly would have used a fast shutter speed to capture moments when the dogs were in mid air because it would have felt like a fun and exciting shoot.

Ok, there are a billion birds in my yard every day. I think if I scared them I could get a good action shot of a huge flock flying off into the trees. But when ever i try to go outside either my cat or the sound of the soft click of the door shutting behind me scares them off before I can even turn my camera on! Gah so annoying. I also noticed that when the birds take off they a pretty fast so maybe a fasterish shutter speed could be need. Then again I don't know because they take off the second i'm out the door. They are ways there when i wake up and go to sleep. Maybe if i just sit outside and wait till they are all distracted eating I might because to get a few shots.

So yesterday on my way to school it was really foggy outside and i got some nice shots. But on my way to school i missed a great shot. It was around like eight ten and we were passing the new park on route 30. I did have my camera but we were moving to fast. At the angel I was it looked like the fog was rising up behind the bridge in a large cloud like formation. I did try to get some pictures but it just didn't wok right. I lost my angel in that split second i was trying to get my camera to turn on faster then forgot to remove the lens.
