It's been the second day where everything I do seems to take twice as long as I allotted. I needed a wedding card, so I did get one card made during World Card Making Day. This fits the Caardvarks Clean & Simple Challenge as well.

Today for my photography project, I set up my new tripod and ball head. I think I'll enjoy using it. I ended up getting the lighter of two tripods I considered, giving up some stability. I know myself well enough to know I'm not going to want to haul a heavy tripod out in the field. I also got out the neutral density filter and figured out how to get it on the camera. Friday we're planning a little photography road trip so I can put some of this into practice.
I also spent too much time this morning reading photography tips and watching videos on Kent Weakley's Blog. It is definitely worth checking out. His explanations are clear and his photography is wonderful. I particularly liked a series of five videos on getting sharper focus. I'll be trying all of them soon, and the tips are good for any camera. Another great post was the Top 5 Reasons for Getting the Shot Now. Great practical advice here.
