Took a stroll down South Congress yesterday with Trish and her co-worker, Daniel, for my first photowalk. Trish picked a good route and I had a lot of fun; I must admit that it's amazing how many times I've driven down SoCo and never really looked at what's there. We spent close to two hours on SoCo before we headed over to the Long Center to snag some pictures of the Austin skyline at sunset. I was a little sad that I only had my monopod and not my tripod, but I was still able to get a few good shots after the sun set.



I normally tend to shoot with all settings on auto, but I decided to switch over to full manual for this outing -- it was probably the best decision I've ever made. Not only was I able to shoot in RAW format (I can't shoot in RAW with auto settings), I feel like I know my camera so much better now. I still have a ways to go, but the experience gave me a lot of things to look forward to.

Anyway, I decided to open up a Flickr account so that I could more easily share my favorite pictures. Feel free to browse my photostream.
