Description
My friend says it looks like I'm about to fall into the sky.I say it looks like I just fell in FROM the sky.
Either way, today I just wished I could've jumped into it and started flying D:
This was kind of a funky picture to take too. I set the timer for 20 seconds, ran to the fence and started climbing. I originally wanted to be laying on my back but obviously it didn't work out.
I felt a bit humiliated, several other people were at the park. But who cares? It came out real well

The best way to get a picture is to make a fool of yourself in front of many
Great photo.

Wow
Yeah, I did want more of the fence in, but see, the soccer team had this stuff literally tied with a lock to it, and I definitely did not want that in the picture (would've ruined it). So I had to shoot from basically the bottom part of the picture on up.
I also didn't think of it as a choosing moment, but very good eye/idea, very true.
And yes, it was rather a bother to climb up. I had to do it quickly too, only had 20 seconds...

There's always a reason that the composition ends up a little less than what you want
I try to be constructive 
I reminded me of this famous photo. It's what teachers seem to like to use to demonstrate what the decisive moment is.
What really sucks is when you're trying to get a self-portrait with a shallow depth of field. Thankfully, you're not climbing a fence while trying to get it, lol. But yeah, it's hard to get set up right. Self-portraits are the bomb though

Well, and my camera doesn't have manual focus x___x It'll just auto focus, I've got five selections. So I wasn't entirely sure if it was in focus or not @______@
And another crazy part I forgot to add in the description is that I had my dog there with me at the moment... Mom was like "YOU WALK HIM NOW" so I had to take him with... He gets miserable if he's farther than 10 feet from another human being. So I had to tie up his leash and reassure him that I'd be down to pet him the whole time xD

That's why you should go buy an SLR 
Haha, dogs man. They don't tend to help photographers unless they're the subject.

That camera was an SLR. A borrowed one, but an SLR. I'm saving for either the Nikon D60 or the Canon XSi.
And yes, to the smaller aperture/slower speed. I checked that before I made my dash/climb

The name of the camera sounded like a point and shoot, but guess not 
F11 is always a good aperture

No no, did I say no AF? xD It has no MANUAL focus, which I loathe

Oh, whoops. I think I misread it 
I hate autofocus. I grew out of it when I started using my dad's forty year old 50mm prime lens. It's only good for sports or busy situations.

Yes. Everytime I try to adjust the focus, it really just won't budge. At all. I've tried a couple times, but I don't want to force it and then just break it.

Is AF turned off? Some lenses will lock the manual focus if AF is enabled. My D40 kit lens does that, but my more expensive telephoto allows me to focus even with AF on.

Yup, I've tried it both off and on.

Weird. Something must be up, because lenses don't not allow MF. That's just... wrong, in a wrong sort of way, ya know? Yeah. Maybe read the manual on the lens or something... But didn't you say it was a friend's camera anyway?

Yes, it's borrowed =S I'll see them tomorrow. Could/will ask then.

Thou shouldst!
It's cold in here... 0.o, I wonder if the temperature is still set to 63...

It's warm enough here for now.. I'll probably turn on my space heater later.
