So it’s 10PM and I need to get out of the house and shoot some photos. I end up strolling out onto the property to see if I can get some black & white shots of the rain on the asphalt. There were a couple of neat shots, but it was while I was attempting to take a picture of a car coming down the street that I discovered that our camera has this little icon with multiple boxes all lined up – like if you took a picture it would take multiple pictures in a row. I swear I’ve never seen this button before. What I discovered made me wish I had.

As I stood there holding the button down to take the photo, the camera just kept shooting away. The car got closer. The images got clearer (because I was holding still now) and everything just started to work. The car came right up next to me and the camera captured just the last bits of the tail-lights – the aura of a ghost car that was no longer actually in the frame.

There are so many reasons why I’m going to leave this option on, but mostly I just like that it keeps shooting as I steady little by little until I’ve got a clear shot. I wonder what other settings I’m missing!

I’m also including my photo from the weekend of the Daughter at Chili’s. It’s fun to wander around places with a camera. People do tend to look at you weird when you’re taking pictures of salt shakers and ketchup bottles, but that’s just part of the teritory, I guess.
