The M Setting

( General )

I have been reading a few lessons on photography and feel like I am learning something. So the past couple of days I have been using the ‘M’ (manual) setting on my Canon. It’s an exercise in learning what settings work in what situation. I have horrible reading comprehension skills and learn a lot better [...]

Photo Hunters – Funny Signs

Here is a ’sign’ I saw at the Ren Fest taken at the Washing Well Wenches show. I didn’t get to see the show but hope to next time we go as it looked like everyone was having a good time.

Fireman

( Kids )

The playgroup toured one of the city’s fire stations last week. Rae enjoyed getting the ‘fireman’, ie fireman helmet, best of all. In my Canon classes, I’m up to the one that deals with exposure. I noticed that this photo was a little bright, so I actually took it into a program and added shadow [...]

Portable Hard Drive for Pictures

( General )

Last week I ordered a portable hard drive to store all my digital photos. It arrived two days later! I can’t wait to start transferring all of my photos onto it.
I do plan to organize my photos as I go instead of just dumping them to it like I have been doing to my hard [...]

Up in the Sky!

( Nature )

We’ve had some windy days in April, which makes it perfect for kite flying. My husband has this dragon kite that he has tried for weeks to get off the ground good. He finally succeeded.

I’ve enrolled in a free online class through Sony Backstage 101. It has to do with all the settings on a [...]

Odd Shots Monday – Magnolia Tree

Looking at this photo I can tell I should have taken it closer so that you can really see how odd it is. The bottom limbs go all the way to the ground. In fact, some even look buried, almost like smaller magnolia trees branching off from it. It’s definitely odd looking and am surprised [...]

Photo Hunters – Twist

For this week’s theme of twist(ed), I went with Rae’s favorite slide at the park. Of course it’s the tallest one there, and she wanted me to slide with her. That was a tight fit to get through that small space. Makes me realize just how out of shape I really am!

Truck

I’ve been a little slow this week posing my entries into the April Challenge of Entropy. Here is one I took this week of my truck. Yeah it definitely is falling apart.

At Play

( Kids )

We are spending a lot of time outside these days. In Mississippi, there is our spring that is usually 3-4 weeks if we’re lucky. It’s best to take advantage of nice weather when we can. Soon it will be unbearably hot.
Yesterday we were outside playing on the hand-me-down swing set. It needs a little work [...]

The Biggest Loser

The scale. What every contestant dreads facing each week. Next week is the finale, which I’m really looking forward to. The two girls are definitely in the final three. That’s exciting as we might actually finally have a female winner.
This scale is my parents and is my shot of the day for entropy, the April [...]
