After spending a BUSY Chanukah with family and friends – eating lotsa latkes, lighting lotsa candles – I decided to RELAX today and take lotsa photos.  The LCD screen on my camera is in the shop for repair, so I’m practicing using my rental camera – same model but I had to re-set the settings…  This means, I have to re-learn what I’ve been practicing for nearly a year. 

With so many Christmas decorations out, I had a great focus to practice my…focus, aperture, shutter, ISO, etc!  With no time pressure to click the shutter, I returned to fully manual mode rather than aperture priority, as I’ve been shooting recently.  Nice to return to basics!

Here are my favorite captures from today’s photo walk (with no comments on the individual pics).
