32/365 White balance and the Joy of Love.

I'm participating in Wilette's Joy of Love class this month. She gives a theme for each day & you take the theme & shoot someone/something you love. Today's assignment was "what they do". My youngest is very much into video games so I grabbed some shots of him playing. These are total snaps. Looking back over the past few years (since I got the "good" camera), I've noticed I don't do snapshots often. And looking back at the shots I do have makes me sad. So much is not there. I will strive to do better in that regard.



Now to the wb. It was night time. My camera does NOT do noise well. The first shot is auto wb, the second I clicked on the stick of his control (almost the same color as my gray card) w/ the dropper in LR.

30 & 31/365 White balance

We're visiting the wonderful, hair pulling, teeth gnashing world of white balance this week. I think that I'm finally ok w/ my wb abilities. *L*
Sunday's & Monday's were both made using the AWB setting on my camera. It was cloudy & dreary and the photos came out quite cool. The second photo is my fix in Lightroom using the wb dropper.





Buh-bye January!!

23-29/365 Rule of thirds

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. ~Ansel Adams

16-22/365 Repetition

Playing catch up today! Been busy with taxes. They are D.O.N.E.

This week's theme is "repetition".















Between repetition and forgetting, it is a marvel that a new thought ever struggles into existence. ~Mason Cooley

14 & 15/365 Winter

Captured some sunbursts on the icicles.
And my chilly pitty, Butch. :)

13/365 Teddy & the Snowman

Someone pointed out that they'd not seen Teddy, my most favoritist, non-complaining, cooperative model evah, lately. So, I roused him from hibernation to get a snow photo. He had a ball building a snowman this afternoon. :)

Day 11 & 12

We've still got tons of snow (though it's getting kind of crunchy/icy now) and our snow day is turning into a snow week. We'll probably be trading our spring break for this week. :) As crazy as it sounds, I'm loving it. I just wish I could get a kid or two to cooperate for snow portraits. I adore snow portraits but everyone in this household is meh about it.

Day 11 - Snow Angel, made by me! Haven't made one in YEARS!!



And Day 12...I found another acrobat. This one's on stilts!


When it snows, you have two choices; shovel or make snow angels.
