My cousin's husband used to play for Edgar Winter Group and several others until he "retired." Rock-n-Rollers age too. :) My niece lives somewhere over in that area on the other side of Baton Rouge, too. Seeing all these pics makes me want to take a trip to visit. Regarless of aperature priority or not, I like all of them, esp. the cat man. :)Laura Delegal - Leroy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013642027767392349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-25486509641155049422012-01-18T22:45:12.206-06:002012-01-18T22:45:12.206-06:00Well, that sounds like a fun day.

Oh my, I think I would've about had a heart attack going over that bridge. I live here in Minneapolis where the bridge fell into the Mississippi a few year ago so I think about that kind of thing all the time.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974419983321226169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-63997855665783211322012-01-18T10:58:20.646-06:002012-01-18T10:58:20.646-06:00sheesh...where did cape come from....i meant wig !...sheesh...where did cape come from....i meant wig !!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094533582512917616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-10584499655563127972012-01-18T10:57:20.909-06:002012-01-18T10:57:20.909-06:00i lOVE that moss....it's one of my favorite th...i lOVE that moss....it's one of my favorite things every time we drive through alabama....i can't get enough of it...but thanks for the heads up....no capes for me :)<br /><br />i can tell what a bright day it was and unfortunately our cameras don't like that. a lower ISO, a few steps down on exposure and spot metering would have probably fixed some of the issues.....or complete manual and telling that darn shutter speed what to do, like you suggested.

I used to shoot strictly in manual but have recently started keeping it in aperture because I cross through so many fluctuations of light on my morning walks. Dare I confess I've never eaten crayfish? Used to fish for them with bacon, though. I've driven over that Atchafalaya Basin Bridge tons of times - it does go on forever!!!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074104063769255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-57287166722071651302012-01-17T16:56:00.499-06:002012-01-17T16:56:00.499-06:00What a gorgeous place to take a photo walk!

So far I usually use aperture priority or the auto sport setting (since that is what the majority of what type of pictures that I take!!).
