Photo-along: Aperture schmaperture and shutter speed.

So are you completely confused as to what aperture and shutter speed are? For the longest time I couldn't remember that bigger is smaller and vice versa. Big is less and small is more. What?!

I'm not even going to try to explain it because I'll just end up confusing myself all over again. Instead head on over to Pioneer Woman photography for a great explanation on aperture and shutter speed.

M.I.A.

Sorry to have stood you guys up. I know you were waiting for the mossy garden tutorial - and it will be up soon. My darling Mr. PD, decided it would be fun to download a virus onto my laptop. So my baby has gone to see the doctor and was indeed diagnosed with a virus. But she's back to 100% and I'm just glad none of my very important files were lost!

Give me a couple of days to re-install all of my software and I'll get the tute up as soon as I can!
