Meet the teacher night

Lilly is at a different school this year (sob) for 3-5th graders.  We all went as a family to meet her new teacher and tour the school.  Her new teacher is pretty much the best teacher ever.  She hugged me a few times and love just pours out of her.  It's always really helpful for me to have a fantastic teacher.

I was so excited that Lilly still allowed me to take my traditional meet the teacher picture and I took a bunch of pictures.  As I was taking them, they appeared to be coming out well.

Extreme sadness poured out of me when I got home to find I had been shooting with a crazy fast shutter speed.  I can't explain to you what that means, because I don't know that much, but it did mess up my pictures. SOB. When I was outside taking rain pictures I bumped up my shutter speed as high as I could.  I just remembered from my photog class that the faster the shutter speed the more you can literally stop the motion.  This is good for running pets and kids, or rain falling from the sky but not indoor, evening pictures.  I think.  Either way, my shutter speed was way up (because I forgot to readjust the settings) and I ruined my meet the teacher pictures! SOB!  At least you can still see the people.

At least my camera took some better pictures outside in the sun.
