Today was a busy day! It was rainy, but we spent our afternoon at a playdate with two lovely little girls for Liam to play with, two rather large and friendly puppies, and some tasty homemade treats made for and by the moms - though I think the babies enjoyed the banana bread, as well.
Since the weather wasn't letting much light into the house, I hemmed and hawed over how to capture a decent picture today. Finally, I decided to just use the normal evening lighting in our dining room, and took a picture of the first ever scarf I crocheted and (finally) finished!
Using kit lens 18-55mm at 18mm, Aperture Priority mode, f/3.5, ISO 800

I was able to read up a bit yesterday on focal length, and decided I wanted to see how a picture would turn out at 18mm and a nice low f/stop. From what I read, it lends itself to a whimsical sort of look, and gives a lot of dimension to your pictures - which I think I somewhat accomplished here. I definitely wouldn't say this is a flat picture, and I think I managed to focus just right in order to capture the bright red stripe plus some of the yarn details. Yay! There is obviously some noise, but still - the lighting in my house is pretty horrible, so I think this picture is a definite success considering the circumstances. There was only some light editing in Camera Raw, to brighten the picture up a bit.
