I've been inspired by the ILP gals that are doing 365 days in photos, and decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog of my own. So many things happen each day that you think you will remember forever. Then, days/months/years later, you can't recall the details about the big things, let alone the little things. I've never had a blog, nor do I keep a regular journal, but I DO take photos. So, I figured that it couldn't hurt to give photo blogging a shot. I think blogging will give me a necessary nudge, and help me to record what I want to remember about each day of this year. It seems that so much of what is important to me is not really in the BIG events of life, but in the little things. I want to acknowledge and be thankful for my blessings each day, and remember the little things tomorrow.
This photo is not from today, but from a couple of days ago. It's a photo of a tile that I made (thanks to Miranda for sharing directions), and a great example of the what I want to capture and remember. A simple touch can mean so much! It TRULY is in the little things ...
Until tomorrow ~
Diane :)
Have to take a break from people photography every little bit, so today I took two subjects from ILP as a challenge. The first photo is working on DOF. The second is actually a photo of smoke with layers of hue and saturation adjustments in Photoshop. Interesting ...
It's cold here today, but just beautiful. While I was out and about, I decided to take the scenic route and enjoy the sunshine and fresh snow. We still don't have alot of snow, but just enough for everything to glisten in the sun. I'm thankful for the freedom to enjoy the tranquility of the hidden places where God's whisper can be heard in the wind.
Well, these are not technically great, or creative photos, but fun anyway. We finally have enough snow to sled, and the kids were so excited to go try out the hills. They had a blast! I did shoot in manual, and tried out back button focusing - which is hard to do with a moving target. I used my 24-105L lens with settings as follows: 1/320, F4, ISO 400.
Today K was bored! She wanted to go outside and play in the snow, but it's 13 degrees. So, she showed me her most pitiful "bored" face. A few minutes later, I caught site of her shadow as she played with Max.
I really enjoy some of the most simple things. I love to collect pottery ~ these are a few of my current favorites. The two larger pieces were given to me by my Mother when my Father passed away, so they hold a "special" place in my heart.
I absolutely love this time of year. It's finally snowing here a little, and it's COLD! All of our summer critter friends have abandoned their homes for the Winter, but everything is at rest, and it's peaceful.
