I took pictures at the game last night and decided to do a little work with RAW images. About 1/4 of my pictures came out looking like this…….
Ok all you bloggy photo friends, what’s up???
What in the World Wednesday???
Scenes from Thursday night's football game
Thursday night we had a flag football game and this ended up being my favorite shot of the night. I love the warmth of the light on baby girl’s face ….
There’s just something untouchable and indescribable that makes me love this picture.
Vacation Day 4 (evening)
Even though I’m home now I thought I would post a few picture that I took AT the beach. I waited for a sunset Monday night until I realized there were too many clouds for a good sunset. So here’s a few pictures from my walk on the beach….
I think I miss the beach!
Still waiting…
I’m still waiting on those lenses. I’m hoping I didn’t make a mistake by ordering one off Ebay. The guy sent it Parcel Post. A big ole expensive lens Parcel Post!! What is up with that?? Can you tell I’m just waiting to be angry? I’m hoping that it is packaged well.
In the meantime I’m still having fun with the Macro lens a friend let me borrow. Here’s a couple pics of baby girl and the shadows on the wall from our suncatchers.
"I’m just thinking mom, I’m not sure I want my picture taken!"
"But if you insist I guess it’s okay."
Not very "in focus" but still cool, huh??
Waiting, oh just waiting !
Well I got my new lenses ordered and I anxiously await the mail lady every day. In the mean time a good friend of mine let me borrow his 100mm 2.8 macro lens tonight. Oh, I’ve had fun trying it out. This lens is VERY different from the two I own now. It’s heavier and I’m manually focusing. I’m also manually doing everything else. Setting my own ISO and all that jazz…
So here’s some of the fun I’ve had tonight. What do you think?
This was my first subject. I played with the lightening for a while and settled on this with my tripod as my knees.
Then the corner of the frame on the wall looked interested. And yep, it still looks cool.
This is my favorite shot. My bible on top of my husband’s bible. So much right there in that photo….so much!!
As you can see mine is held together with a nice array of packing tape. It does the trick! Much love in it the 13 years I’ve owned it. It was a precious gift to me from my best friend.
I had moved into the office and closer to the computer by this time. Here lies today’s jewelry, a little of out focus but still very interesting to me that I can shoot under the lightening here.
Oh girls, do you see the dust on those pretty shiney balls??? Still cool though!
"I shall not be detered by something as significant as dust!!"
And here was the last shot (it’s 11 and we must sleep) I loved the light play here.
So as you can see I’m off to learning! Aren’t you proud of me Alyssa?
And everyone leave a comment for Rod and tell him how nice he is for letting me use his big old lens!!! Yea Rod! You’re the MAN!
always in HIM…

Just when you think you are making progress
There have been many beautiful blogs that I have read recently who’s owners are such great photographers and Photoshop enthusiasts. I’ve been impressed and have been motivated to try my hand at learning more about Photoshop and how to use it and have fun with it.
Then I came across this photo blog today (actually a flickr account) and I was floored. This person is a marvel. If you have time to browse her photos and her artwork she is amazing!!
I humbly succumb…I’ll never be that good!
(sniff, sniff)

Last Night's Lunar Eclipse
Here is a great site where you can view the Lunar Eclipse from different places in the world. It’s really cool. It took a while to load since the site is busy but it’s worth the wait.
Enjoy

A Kansas Kinda Sky
Ok, I’ve never really been to Kansas but I imagine today’s sky in SC really belonging in KS. We had a lot of clouds and wind today with just a little rain. As I was picking a couple kids up from school I got a few photos of today’s sky. I believe ominous best describes it…
(this one is from out of the car window facing one direction)
(and this from my 3.5 year old daughter out her window)
and the other direction was this sky…..
Yep, just call me Dorothy (and that’s Toto in the side mirror in photo #1)
