Day 38- Seventy-Three Percent

Tonight is my monthly book club meeting.  I am only 73% finished with the book, so I plan to spend a significant part of today reading.  It would be hard to justify not being done to my teacher friends, who are still working while I am at home, a lady of leisure! Oh well, I can think of worse ways to spend a day . . .

I actually RETOOK this pretty boring, simple photo, because I realized the keys that weren’t in focus were “blown out”- even though the histogram didn’t show that.  I ended up increasing my depth of field by closing down the aperture a bit and using spot metering to meter off the kindle so that I could get those darn keys to be more visible.

In case you’re interested, the book is The White Queen by Philippa Gregory.

  1. Very nice depth of field and I like composition and the background.

    I, too, am reading “The White Queen;” I took it to Texas, didn’t open it, picked up “Little Bee” at the Airport because the other book was packed in my checked luggage and I thought I was going to spend lots of time at the airport which didn’t happen. So now I’ve got 4 books going (one is an audiobook). Nice that the Kindle tells you how far you’re into the book. I may have to look into the Kindle. Then all the books I’m reading would be in one place 😉
