Today, we had a day today that will probably begin to feel like normal. Mark went to school and had a fine day. Catherine did well in daycare. Tracy worked at home. And, I went to Stellenbosch.
In the morning, a technician from the University of Stellenbosch came to the house to set up the WiFi router. We couldn't get it to work, and I was feeling pretty incompetent about it. But, Paul couldn't fix it either, so I no longer so bad. A hard reset and lots of fiddling were required to get things going.
This evening, the light in the front yard was terrific. Mark submitted to a few pictures. Not many readers will appreciate this next bit (except maybe Rachel), but here are a couple things about my camera. (1) My 85 mm f/1.8 lens is awesome. It is so fast, and it does a good enough job on the bokeh. (2) Previously, I used the shade setting for white balance. That resulted in photos that were too warm. This time (see right), I used daylight white balance. I think the colors are much nicer and closer to reality.
