I headed for Brown Park. The plan was to acquaint myself with two lenses, the macro and wide angle, and the camera. My comfort level with manual and aperture priority modes improved a lot, even if the results didn't indicate it.
My favorite shot of the day was a serendipitous one. I hadn't gone to shoot people, but was joined on a bench by a young mother. Her two-year-old was curious about my camera and I told her I'd take her picture if Mommy didn't mind. After baby sister ate, I snapped a couple of her, also. The picture is far from perfect, but I saved it because the baby was so sweet.
