I don’t even mind admitting that it took me a lot longer than it should have to remember how to use the “miniature” effect that’s built in to my camera. Turns out that actually looking up how to do it is a lot more productive than just randomly poking at camera settings, which honestly is sort of a shock. Only, of course, not a shock at all.

And, now that I’ve figured it out (again) it’s actually quite easy. That’s the part that’s embarrassing: that I forgot the perfectly simple way to do something silly. That doesn’t seem like me.

But anyway, here’s a shot of St. Mary’s Catholic church which is on St. Mary’s Street.
