Peter and The Galleon

Here is my friend Peter (from the mini-golf team). He just moved into an apartment building called "The Galleon". "A galleon is a large three-masted sailing ship with a square rig and usually two or more decks, used from the 15th to the 17th century especially by Spain as a merchant ship or warship." This weird painting hangs in the lobby of the building just to prove it.

I am still MAJORLY struggling with the new toy so it's really "artsy" shall we say. Artsy is a fancy way of saying "crap" or "unexecutable". Aren't you glad I continue to share my failures so openly though? I think step 1 is that my camera needs a bit of a cleaning. Some grit is good but this is ridiculous. Step two is....I dunno.

Many, many people are taking gorgeous photos with this method but I haven't managed to nail it in the 5 days since I got the new toy.
