I was at Matthews Beach for a little while yesterday and when I sat down at a picnic table I was beset by the squirrel brigade. I’d like to think they knew I was a friend and were happy to see me, but I suspect they were just looking for a handout.

Photography for Beginners Part 4: Aperture Priority Mode
Each post in this series builds on information discussed in previous posts. See the Photography for Beginners page on the menu for links to all the posts.
In this post I’m going to discuss shooting in Aperture Priority Mode, usually designated by an A on your camera’s mode dial (if it has one).
What is Aperture Priority Mode?
In Aperture Priority Mode you make lens aperture your priority in how you choose to expose an image. You select which aperture you want to use and the camera will automatically choose the appropriate shutter speed to go with it.

There are several such public gardens in the Puget Sound area. Some are free, some have a fee.
