Camera Questions...


This image is from a series I snapped yesterday in between the raindrops. This wasn't one of the best and I have a few questions.
When I set the camera to take this photo it was focused on the closest flower and was in focus. When I pressed the button, it would not take the photo, I backed up slightly, the camera lens self adjusted and then took the photo. It focused on the light not the closest flower. Would it not let me take the photo the first time because I was to close to the flower? And why did the lens adjust if I am in Manual? I am shooting with a Canon Rebel.

    Remember there are two manual controls ... one for the focus and one for exposure (aperture and shutter control). Check to make sure you are actually still in manual focus (usually the button marked M/AF on the lens). And if you have a Nikon there may be two buttons that need to be pushed.

    Nice photo though, I think your light is PERFECT!!!
