Couldn't go to the usual park because of the festival, so we headed up the street to Arisugawa, aka "icecream park", because it's just up the street from the Baskin Robbins, home of Mint Chip!
Was pretty empty as it's still summer vacation, so she got to ride on everything once before she couldn't take it any more and we had to go get icecream.
Spent the day goofing off with Tonchan in the park and taking photos. Tried some black and white with the trusty GRII. I think this one came out quite nice; good contrast, nice shadows, decent balance.
To be honest I can never remember what all the ISO, f/stop, shutterspeed, etc. settings do. Luckily I have set each one to be adjusted by a different knob on the camera, and I twiddle them all until the little indicator is right in the middle of the line that tells me it's ok to to hit the shutter button.
Dare I ask what the professional photographers in my family think?
