day 47




Swimming lessons.  I love swimming lessons.  The boy loves it and for me, it is a chance to just sit and catch my breath.  I brought my camera in hopes that shooting in manual will improve the quality of my swimming pool shots, but alas - it didn't.  The ones of him in or by the water, are always dark and grainy.  I would love any suggestions on that front!

No suggestions here, I always struggle with pictures at the pool. It's just so dark! These ones are great. The second one is so cute!

What camera are you using? What are your settings? I haven't done many pool shots yet. I do think these are cute.

Thanks :) I have a Nikon D60, I am just learning to shoot in manual...I kept fiddling with the settings, so I don't remember what they were. I think the issue is that this pool is indoors with flourescent lights but, has large windows for natural light. This combined with the reflection from the pool, confuses the camera (ahem operator).
