Rainy day blues. And cold too.

I spent the day getting to know my new camera. Specifically, how the auto focus and metering are interrelated. No need to bore anyone here with the details. It has way more options that I'll probably ever use. Some pretty neat stuff, too!

Here's a pic out the back window.

 

I made this one from the lower right quadrant of the previous one, with a little help from Photoshop.

 

Black Beauties. :)

 

And something with a little colour ...

Before - Image shot with D40 set to "Normal"
