Time to go Outside?

Day 20 (F5.0)
Day 20 (F14.0)
Day 19
Boy, you'd never think of going outside by the way it looks out there right now! Good thing I got out when I did... So I tried a couple of things in the last couple of days.. One of those things was trying to capture birds, and the other was playing a bit more with Aperture. For the most part I shoot in Av all the time. I usually use the lowest setting possible for two reasons. 1) It makes the shutter speed quick and 2) I like the look of the blurrier background, most of the time. So, I will post both ends of the scale and you guys can let me know what you think!
