photography

It was pumpkin picture day. I put my efforts into making pumpkin bread tonight, so I did my assignment quickly. I liked this one of the stem the best. Will have to take another photo after I carve it. 🙂

Today we were tasked with taking a “different” kind of leaf photo. Mother Nature helped me out here. The trees around the house are now bare from a few days of wind and rain, and my mums are completely covered in leaves. With the raindrops added, I thought they looked pretty cool.

Yesterday’s assignment was to capture some fall colors. I have been trying to do that all month, and especially liked a picture of my mums that I took on Saturday. So, I used that. Today’s assignment was to seek out some openness. The basic idea was that we all pack our days so tightly, that

“Ugh,” I grumbled as I read today’s assignment. Using the self-timer. That meant I had to be in the picture. Gross. But, I decided to have some fun with it and took some pictures of me and Josh playing on the swing set this afternoon. I have a policy of not posting photos of people

Yesterday, we were challenged to do a little photo editing to enhance a picture of a silhouette taken at dusk. I tried to edit a couple of shots with Photoshop. Left: Before, Right: After with yellow added Left: Before, Right: After with magenta added Nothing major. I like the way the second one came out.

I didn’t exactly capture an act of kindness for my assignment today, but I did capture a result. I’ve been wanting to make Swedish Apple Pie, but haven’t had a chance. So my mother asked me to bring some of my apples to her today and she made the pie. While watching my son. And

Today, we were asked to “capture a connection … that makes you happy.” This dog was supposed to be Joshua’s, but Bailey quickly claimed it for snuggling. I think it’s the cutest thing.

Today’s assignment was actually to show something other than leaves scattered, but I only had time to take a few photos at lunch time, so this will have to do. Also, this was taken using my regular point-and-shoot, because taking these photos was a last-minute decision, on my way home from dropping off Josh. One

Today’s assignment was to photograph something that has been a source of inspiration for me lately. My son and nature fit the description, but I chose to photograph the D-SLR I bought with my birthday money this summer. Experimenting with it has definitely inspired me to take more pictures, be more creative with my photos,

Friday’s assignment was to “seek out the message you need to hear most today.” When Joshua wanted to read the “fishie” book by Dr. Seuss, the quote on the first page caught my attention. Why is this the message I needed to hear most? Because I have been too worried, stressed, sad and serious lately.
