We really do not do it every Wednesday. But, on the other hand, it is definitely the season of the year for pot roast. The weather gets cold, pot roast comes around several times before it gets warm again. It must be pot roast.
In something of an upset, considering the exigencies of blogging every day for a month, I do not have a photo of the pot roast. However, I suspect that something about the pot roast may appear elsewhere on the internet in due course.
About yesterday's photo, I am now totally prepared for very low light photography with the fancy camera. The first option for just ordinarily low light is the no flash mode and hold the camera really steady. I have done that plenty of times before. The camera goes to pretty much full automatic mode but there can be a significant delay between the sound indicating that the sensor has begun gathering details until the sound indicating conclusion of data intake. If you don't hold the camera steady you get blurry.
Yesterday's attempt was in light so low that no flash mode declined to participate.
So here's what you do.
Go to "M" mode. "M" for manual. In manual you first rotate the command dial to set the shutter speed. This can be for anything from 1/4000 of a second to 30 seconds to "bulb" which is indefinite. In "bulb" you press the button and the sensor continues to gather data until you release the button.
After setting shutter speed you set the aperture by rotating the command dial while holding down the aperture button.
Nothing to it.
But today was pot roast day so I got this photo in regular no flash mode to commemorate the occasion.
The photo seems unrelated to pot roast but as I said earlier something is probably going to appear elsewhere on the internet soon enough. And she did eat some of the pot roast.
The picture is of an important step in the replacement of her broken phone. The replacement got mailed here, she is going through the SIM card, memory card, battery blah blah blah before deciding which of those five cases she will be using to safeguard the new phone. There was a slight glitch in the set up which meant she had to go to the nearby phone store to get either the SIM or the memory or the battery deal cleared up (SIM I am pretty sure).
The pot roast was good, the phone works, all systems return to go.
And on with the show.

I approve. Of the pot roast, the larger photo format and the new phone. I'll have to try those directions with my camera. Manual mode is something I've been meaning to try.
I see what you did there. "If it's Wednesday it must be pot roast." Sort of a cross blog theme. Is that what they call a meme?
