Psychotically Sane

I’m ashamed to admit that since getting my Canon 30D, I haven’t had much time to play with it. I’ve taken a couple pictures here and there, but nothing really blog worthy. I’ve taken more time reading the manual and playing with the settings and then going back through my million photography and camera books to remind myself what certain settings mean. Would it be better for my camera to be set to AI FOCUS or AI SERVO? What metering should it be set too? My nose has been buried in books and it hasn’t just been my camera and photography books. I’ve been re-reading the Harry Potter series. (Don’t laugh. I’m on book 7 since starting the series 3 weeks ago.) I recently bought a new knitting hat book that I love and is getting me more motivated to knit. I’m using the ideas in the book and reading through the patterns for little tips but I’m making the hats just a little different. More my own idea. There are a couple of hats in the book that I’m going to make as is, but for the most part I want them just a little different than the author made them. Knitting has become an addiction for me. I love how calming and de-stressing it is.

And then because I despise and feel guilty if I leave the post photo-less – (I’ve felt horrible the past few months for my lack of photography and lack of blog posting) – I actually managed to take a Happy Bokeh Wednesday picture. It ended up being a collaborative diptych effort with Kimberly. It turned out good ;)
