Back at the end of December 2005, , , and I went to the Detroit Historical Museum, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, the Scott Memorial Fountain, and a few other places on Belle Isle.

I finally got around to captioning the photos today, and they are available by either clicking on the photo above, or this link: Detroit Historical Museum, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, the Scott Memorial Fountain, and a few other places on Belle Isle (photo gallery retired).

No, I’m not going to write much about them right now… Hopefully you’ll enjoy them, though.

Oh, and yes, I know the pictures are mostly crap. This was the first day I took my new camera out to actually give it a try. I’ve become a lot more familiar with it since then, and thusly the photos have gotten considerably better.

    well, the lighting was funky and maybe you needed to open your lens up a little?

      Naw. :) It’s more that I had only been in possession of the camera for 5 days, shot them as all JPEG, used program mode and auto white balance, and didn’t know nearly as much about color as I do now.

      I could go through and tweak every photo by hand, but it’s probably not worth it. :\

      Ah well… :)

        well, tweaking the light intake would probably make some difference what with the camera being an SLR

        1. c0nsumer February 13, 2006

          Yep, but that’s a bit of a generalization. In program mode the camera has control over the aperture and shutter, so just saying “let more light in” or “tweak the light intake” is akin to saying “set the camera to a more appropriate mode”.

            *has no real clue how digital cameras work becuase her camera is a manual camera therefore bases all opinions stated above as if your camera too was manual*

            Oh, there is a program mode on most electronic SLRs, too. Or, just think of it as auto aperture and auto shutter. That’s the mode I was using.

            right, but my camera is manual

          4. c0nsumer February 14, 2006

            Oh, yep. :) I was just explaining…
