Well, Father's Day has come and gone. The children showered their Daddy with some thoughtful gifts and the biggest gift was from all of us - a new grill that Daddy wanted. A few nights ago he cooked dinner for us on it - it works great :)
Here 'tis the new (in the foreground) and the old (in the background). The old grill became a table of sorts during the grilling the other night - it's still useful for small cookouts, but then, with 6 people in the family, we don't do a lot of "small" cooking!
Hope y'all had a great Father's Day as well!
On another note, I've been meaning to figure out the 'manual shooting' mode on my camera for a long time, but the manual for my camera is missing in action - a product of all the moves we've been through since CKB got the camera for me. Today I decided to run a search online and see what I could come up with and ended up finding the manual online in .pdf - hooray - a quick search through the .pdf and I found the information I was lacking on how to adjust the aperture - I never could figure out how to change it after adjusting the shutter speed!
So, a quick test on Miss E (since she happened near me at the time) and here's a before (no flash)
and after (no flash, but w/much better settings - in manual :) ).
I'm so glad to finally have unlocked this door on the camera! Now, for much more playing! Not a problem :) I have so many good subjects around here!
Also, one shot of Mr. A playing outside a few days ago :)

mm-hmmm... all that "aperture" stuff. That's the stuff I have to learn while I'm saving my dollars for a "real" camera to do that stuff you're talking about. If you have any suggestions on a basics of photography book, I'm all ears!
NICE looking grill - we finally have a grill! Mrs. Torode gave us hers - now I just have to learn how to use it! HA!
