manual mode, thank you very much

I need to make it known that I have officially switched to the world of manual on my DSLR. It is a beautiful, wonderful, detail-oriented world. Sure, it takes much more work, but the outcome is totally worth it.

I'm already noticing a difference in my photos. You may not notice, but I do!

[I admit being crazy for not learning the mode sooner. Teaching just gets in the way, so now I finally have a little (yes, a little) time on my hands to work with my hobbies.]
