I feel this one needs a little insight - A few years ago, I was a student of Task Force: ISO a company that empowers veterans to see the world through a different lens using positive imagery and the art of photography.

During my lessons, I was challenged to photograph daily and on manual. So this day, I set some time aside to photograph my children, something that should have been easy but proved to be more difficult on manual as I couldn't keep up with the kids movements, faces, etc. It was a fun afternoon, but one that made me realize I need to work on this a lot more and continue my classes through Task Force: ISO
