It's a rare moment when you actually see clouds here in San Antonio. You usually look up to see clear blue skies or the total opposite of complete whiteness and no color what so ever. This morning was a pleasant surprise as I grabbed my cup of coffee, looked out the window and had a that wow moment. Clouds...lot's of clouds moving so quickly across the sky in such an intense interesting fashion that I had to take a picture... but where the heck was my camera?!?! As any photographer should know- whether they be amatuer or professional- you should always have your camera on the ready to start shooting....Like I said "you should" as I started racing up the stairs to unhook it from the computer and run back outside in my PJ's to get that shot before the clouds all disappear. The clouds were moving so quickly across the sky and in my frenzied state to get that perfect shot I completely forgot about all the camera settings (I'd been reading up on) and put the camera into Auto mode scared to death I was not going to get that perfect shot. I calmed down a tad and put my settings back into Manual mode not realizing I still had the auto bracket on...OY! So much for that last article I read about taking a deep breath, calming down, hold the camera steady and shoot...Somehow as I was trying to capture this perfect moment I got off some shots that were not too terrible. Once I realized I was in auto bracket I kind of just went with the moment and started shooting in three's. Now looking back at the shots I'm glad I ran out to capture the moment...the sky is back to that beautiful blue with some clouds but not like they were this morning....here's to capturing moments thru the lens!
