After the rain

I couldn't get the camera to focus properly (I hate autofocus!) but I still like the way the sun glitters in the water drops.

Autofocus destroyed what would've otherwise been one of the best pictures I ever took and I tried about six times and it didn't work. I had it just right in my view and focused perfectly, and then autofocus RE-FOCUSED it and screwed it up.

So I feel you. :(

Very pretty, with the flower in the foreground.

Autofocus is particularly bad, I've noticed, with reflective surfaces. I could NOT photograph a silver spoon close-up to save my life.

That's an incredibly cool picture though, even if it's not what you were going for!
