[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 148694, member: 12257"] The flowerbed pictured earlier in this thread (pavers and dirt), has slowly progressed into the culmination, today, of a nearly complete renovation (just in time for Mothers Day!), so here are a few pics I took while also practicing "metering in the middle". In the process, I realized my ISO was set to auto, and I had saturation set to +2 somehow. Fixed those two settings, and I'm ready to run out and take some pics for my photography homework tomorrow at lunch. 1st, weed fabric put down and pavers spaced out: [URL="http://s60.photobucket.com/user/sketso/media/FB1.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/sketso/FB1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Then added pea gravel between the pavers (and added a couple of the decos): [URL="http://s60.photobucket.com/user/sketso/media/FB2.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/sketso/FB2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Put a few more pots/plants in as we decided how we wanted things to look: [URL="http://s60.photobucket.com/user/sketso/media/FB3.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/sketso/FB3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Then settled in everything we have (so far) for a flowerbed that's MUCH easier on the eyes than the "bushels o' weed" bed that used to be there: [URL="http://s60.photobucket.com/user/sketso/media/FB4.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/sketso/FB4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] ...and yes, that is a petunia in an old paint can.
