When I get home from work it's usually after everyone else is asleep. I'd gotten off a little earlier tonight so glanced up the stairs to see if any light was coming from under our door and instead I barely glimpse the shadow of the little elf. When the house is completely still and you're the only one awake and there's this little elf sitting in the middle of the top of the stairs... he's actually kind of creepy. :-P Anyway...
Obviously I turned the hall light on to take this photo, it was too dark otherwise not too. One thing I continue to struggle with in using my prime lens is getting the part of my photo that I want in focus to be in focus and to be nice and crisp/detailed. I took several pictures from this angle, using both the autofocus and manual override. The other downside is that it's often difficult to tell on my viewer whether I managed to get what I wanted in focus, especially when it's something small like a little elf in the middle of a bigger picture :-/ Obviously I didn't quite get it in this photo, but of all the ones I took this one was probably the best. It's a little frustrating not to know if I got what I wanted until I get it on my computer. Though now that I typed that it occurred to me that I'm pretty sure there's a way to zoom in on the camera viewer.... I'll have to check that.
