Day 5: Lilac Leaves

I had other plans for the photo today, but due to circumstances beyond my control, none of them worked out. I'l still trying to figure out how to get the lighting right in manual mode, and can't seem to get my pictures to look as nice as with auto mode.

Day 4: Trip to Friendlys

I had several plans for yesterdays photo, but none of them worked out. In the evening, I went out to Friendlys with some friends of mine, and we all ordered Kids meals. Chocolate milk came with them, and so I got this picture of my friend, Annie, enjoying hers. It took me awhile to get the shadows right, but after a long day I was too tired to get fancy. :P

Day 3: A Walk in the Woods

It was a bit chilly, today, but clear, so I took a walk in the woods. The sun streaming through the trees and around the lake made for some beautiful pictures, but after taking several, I fell back on the first one I had taken, of this little creek running down the middle of the path. I had fun playing with the ISO and aperture settings to get the lighting just the way I wanted it. :)

Day 2: Too Wet to Play

Sinead loves playing outside, but today, in contrast to the gorgeous weather yesterday, turned out very rainy and foggy. My subject turned out a little fuzzy, because I was having trouble adjusting my focus points. And because it was hard to get her to hold still for long enough to get a good shot. :P

Day 1: Down at the Lake

I decided to start my photo blog with a photo shoot down at the lake. I got lots of pictures, but this candid shot of Donovan stood out to me. He and 'my' other two kids will almost definitely feature prominently into my blog in the future.
