I’ve missed a couple of days in the photo a day but here is one I took today of my mom’s shop. It used to be an antique store but now it’s mainly storage. I tried some different settings but the coloring was all wrong and it was freezing outside. So I snapped one of [...]
Yesterday was a busy day so I grabbed my camera around 9pm and fired off a couple of pictures of the girl’s new doll house. In my haste I didn’t check the focus – hence the reason for the blurry picture.
Today I will take more time. The point of this photo of the day [...]
I have had my Canon Rebel XTI for a few years and still use it mostly on the automatic setting. My goal for 2010 is to take photos every day and to explore the functions of my camera to the fullest. Last year I had started trying to do the photo-a-day challenge but faltered and [...]
While looking through the trading cards aisle at Target, I found something that caught my eye. It wasn’t cards but trading figures from The Nightmare Before Christmas – one of my favorite movies. The best part was that each box was labeled, so you know which one you are buying. There was some assembly required. [...]
Today I spent some time cleaning Rae’s room and came across this game. It’s called Zimbos and you stack elephants. Rae wanted to play, so I opened the box and let her stack the elephants however she wanted. Here is what she came up with.
I nearly put the camera on the floor to get [...]
While outside today, I kept hearing a woodpecker but couldn’t find him. So I grabbed my camera with the telephoto lens and viola! I was able to spot him. It’s so nice to see the birds again out looking for food. In the morning they are scattered all over the yard. I could really get [...]
Today we went bowling. It was the first time bowling for Raegan. She was interested until we got to the fifth frame and then she was more interested in the arcade. Imagine that.
I didn’t color correct this picture as these shows were very bright – no need to try to bring out even more color. [...]
I’ve missed a few days with my photo of the day project. I’ve been busy taking photos for product reviews – one being pistachios. I’ve never eaten pistachios until today and I have to say they are yummy. I think the shape and just the shell always stopped me before from trying them. I used [...]
It’s Fade again! Today she was actually off the porch and out of her box for most of the day. In fact she spent quite some time perched on her favorite spot – the swing set.
It was a warm and pleasant day. Maybe it will continue. We can hope.
Today’s photo of the day is a miniature from the World of Warcraft minis game. I don’t know what this guy is or his name. This game is something that we want to learn to play. In fact we have bought both a starter and a few booster packs. We have yet to play but [...]
