02.03.2011 {Manual Mode & wishing for Spring}

I was so excited!  I have been intimidated and yet excited by my new camera that Ryan gave me for our 10 year anniversary - and I decided 2011 was going to be the year I learned more about the capabilites of my camera and be brave enough to try something other than Auto.  So I've been doing a lot of reading, researching, and now need to start experimenting.  So this is my first picture in Manual Mode (well, first one I am willing to share) - after many attempts and many adjustments, I finally "got it" - got rid of the grey snow, then got rid of the over exposed flower and somehow got the settings right to get the shot below - no post editing done.  Yea - progress!
