Day 27

Day 26

Well... I kinda fell off the wagon on my dedication to this blog.. oh well.. glad I didn't share it with too many people! I just purchased a new macro lens (Nikon calls them Micro). So I'm hoping I will be doing a lot of random pics to get use to it and thus more posting on here. I had a hard time deciding between these two pics so I'm going to post both. I love on the first photo you can actually see three polin drops on the petals. Also the size of this flower is about the same size as a dime! The macro lens is incredible!

Day 23

40 degree day and the dog was having a blast! I was soaking up the sun while he was running around. I was mindlessly watching him run around in circles when this picture hit me. I saw his shadow and followed where it was until it got ahead of him and the phrase 'chasing your shadow' came into my head.

Day 10

I was baking this morning and as I poured the oil into the cup I noticed the neat reflections of light that hit the oil. So I grabbed my camera and shot at a bunch of different angles. Thankgoodness for the telephoto lens that hides my messy kitchen!

Today was filled with basketball portraits. I have been contemplating this one of my daughters team for months. So I'm happy to have accomplished it!

I must have looked silly to the neighbors laying down on the driveway shooting up to take this picture. At least it was 30 degrees outside!

Day 3

cold.

Day 2

I will admit I went out earlier in the day and took some pics of the front window reflection of some trees. Well it did not turn out as I had hoped so I did a reshoot... This is out our back window near about an hour before sunset. I love the definition of the clouds in this shot. What looks like blue sky is actually clouds but thats the color they were turning on my whitebalance selection I had.. kind of neat!

Day 1

I've been contemplating this self assignment for several years now. To create one image every single day. Kind of like the movie "Julie and Julia'. Also inspired from a photographer named Jim Brandenburg. Altho Brandenburg literally only exposed one picture on his camera for a certain number of days in the deep northern woods of Minnesota. I will post one picture but my thought is to play with the camera settings so I can get it just right. I'm hoping this self assignment will be both inspiring and challenging.

So today I looked around to see what I could see in my world and hopefully tell its story...

As I was looking around I saw the blueberry bushes on my deck. I planted them in pots this past summer and was suppose to bring them to the garage for a little more shelter. Well it never happened. I hope they survive the winter.
