A black and white to share

Playing around with some actions tonight. Can you tell?

What love looks like

Look closely. Can you see her permanent top-front tooth coming in behind the baby teeth? Freaky, isn't it?

Scenes from the trail

Nice weather = a trip to the nature center. Warm weather AT LAST. Went looking for rocks.

Some pics to share - butterflies and flowers

One butterfly

My other babies

My kitties were soaking up the sun yesterday so I snapped a few pics. Aren't they sweet? At one point they were laying together in the patch of sun that spilled through the window, but alas I was too slow.

Week 4 Lesson

Wow, this is a little late. Like a week. Amazing what one can accomplish on a snow day though!

So this lesson is all about using flash outdoors. And since it is a snow day and Jenna is miraculously not sick, outside we went. I have to admit, I struggle with snow pictures. I've tried custom white balance, I've tried different settings, and no luck. What I get are underexposed, grey skin tones, and muddy images. ACK! So imagine my joy when after this lesson I realized that shooting with the flash on, which is counterintuitive, actually WORKS! Dang, I have so much to learn. Notice how much grey there is in the no-flash photos? HATE THAT.

Also practiced working on some templates. These are more freebies from "I Love Photograhy." TFL!
