Day 60

These last couple of days I've been playing around with our 50mm lense trying to get comfortable with it. It has a very shallow depth of field (clearly!)

Settings: f2.8 1/30 ISO 100

Composition: Rule of thirds

Editing: Reduce saturation.

Just Practice

Still trying to learn to shoot in Tv mode.   I laid on my back and took these while the ceiling fan was going.

Days 42 through 58

(I had a little bit of catch up to do)

For those who couldn't make it today, you MISSED OUT! Daina, Melissa, Amy and I had so much fun. We planned on only being gone for a couple of hours but didn't make it home until almost 4 o'clock.  Time fly's when you're having fun! It was cold but dry and even sunny!

Day 41

Yes, it's real. Yes, it's dead.  

Boys will be boys!

Major Catch up! Days 28-40

I'm back fellow Photogroup-ers! Here is a recap of the last week+.

At the park Vale found this baseball.  I kept asking him to "show" it to me so I could take a picture and he just kept looking at the ground.  I finally realized he was afraid to look at me because he did NOT want me to "take" his new treasure!

I would have loved to have taken this pic in color but forgot to change my settings before snapping.  The moment I shot it, he ran away.  Lesson learned: Always check your settings!!! 

I loved the way the light was hitting these!

I stole this idea from Marisa's blog.  

I tried to catch the mist from the spray bottle.  When I slowed down the shutter speed, it was too dark.  Amy???

I love lanterns!

I'm always looking for a challenge that will help me learn something new.  Are there any tips for taking pictures part sun/part shade? 

Someone once told me that the artist who painted this picture painted it so that one eye represents justice and the other mercy.  I have no idea if it's true.  

Day 27

Ewww gross! :)

Day 26

Jared uploaded these pic and deleted my CF card. I don't remember all my settings.

Day 25

Day 24

1/125

f10 (i think!)

Day 23

f22

ISO 100

I first took this picture in b/w to dramatize the balls shadow.  Then I realized that a soccer ball just doesn't look right unless it's on green grass!

Day 22

f5.6

I'm totally converted to Aperture Priority! It's been interesting to take the same picture at different f-stops and see the difference! I focused on the edge of the vase and it blurred out everything else. 

Day 21

Day 20

Holy shallow depth of field!
