Are you new to photography? Do you feel "stuck" in "auto" mode and the jpg setting? Let me show you how to leave "auto" mode and the jpg setting and go right into Manual Mode using the RAW setting. Using this mode and setting allows all the data to enter the sensor resulting in crisp, sensational photos. Devou Park has a magnificent view of the Cincinnati Skyline, a gazebo, and a brand new, reconstructed concrete overlook with curved stairs, and several round tables with chairs. There are also bench "swings" that are positioned toward the overlook. I'm sure the photos you take will be fascinating, jaw dropping, and full of great composition.. Parking is free in the parking lot at the overlook site.

Title or Location: Through the Bush!
I painted a wash of greys and a little brown. I used my brush to outline the elephant with negative painting. I used a stencil and watercolour pencil sanded over it to make the bush areas. Starting at the eyes helps with measuring the position of other parts of the elephant.
