*Attempting* to Photograph Black/Really Dark Background!

-

Camera: Canon EOS 50D

Mode: Av

Aperture:  F/5.6

Shutter speed: Automatic

ISO: Between 100 and 500 (changed a few times)

White balance: Cloudy (Approximately  6000K)

Exposure:  -2


So I wanted to try getting a shot at my rooster Toots with a very dark background. I took him to a place with cedar trees along our fence line where the sun didn't illuminate the background too much. Although it didn't work out as perfectly as I wanted, I'm still very surprised and happy with the results! 

The only two that worked very well (in achieving a dark background):



I have a hard time getting Toots' colors to pop out well in photos, and this time I got his colors to come out right!

Is The Bible Only Written by Man? A Short Answer...

People that are more knowledgeable than me can give a deeper or even better answer on this, but I will write one of the best answers I personally know. :) Let's just think about this logically... If the Bible is man-made, why does it go against man's desires? The Bible teaches that you simply cannot earn your way, or be good enough, to get to heaven. Good deeds will not get you to heaven. It says heaven is a gift for God's forgiven children, not a reward for deserving, "holier-than-thou" people. "Then Jesus told his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'" Matthew 16:24 Jesus taught that sin is not just physical actions. Read Matthew 5:21-30 . Read how Jesus says that murder begins in the heart, if you so much as hate someone you are guilty of murder. (Also read 1 John 3:15 .)  Who wants to hear that ?  Picture yourself in a horrible situation, say you're being tortured by someone...
