The 'backdrop' here is my house. I really need to paint it, but I love the rustic wood look in some of the photos. I wonder if I can talk my husband into letting me keep the North side of our house unpainted so I'll always have a backdrop?
I call this one 'Spaghetti Squash with Boy' This is from the "Hey, what is in your pocket" series.

day 272
I am starting a new photo series called; "Hey, what is in your pocket?" I will gather images of people I know, friends, loved ones, and complete strangers showing me what is actually in their pockets . I think the series will be a learning experience as I will have to shoot off the cuff more often. It will get me out of the comfort zone of only shooting people I know. I'm kicking around the idea of making a slideshow of the finished images for competition.

day 271
I had a very enjoyable family photo shoot today. I asked them if I could do some creative shots and they agreed. I love lens flare, but not everyone likes the results as much as I do so I usually stay away from it on 'jobs'. But they said I could do whatever. These are two of my favorite 'flare shots' from today. The first has good flare, but I can't make the composition the way I'd like it to be with cropping. The orb always ends up smack in the middle and that distracts me a little.

I shot all my pictures today on full manual mode. I haven't done that in years and not in digital at all. I'm used to shooting manual with film but doing it in digital was a little daunting to me. I realize that is silly, if the shots don't turn out in digital... I can delete them. Not so much with film.
So the compositions aren't spectacular today but I was more concerned with getting correct exposures and clear, crisp focus... I think I still need some work on manual mode! I have a family photo shoot today, I will not be working out the kinks in manual mode that is for sure. I will stick with my aperture priority for safety's sake

day 245
A bundle of frogs were presented to the photographer this morning. The kiddos had been frog hunting. Eight little greenies were pilfered from the puddle and brought to the water table for fun and photographs. (As you might guess, three of them wanted nothing to do with us and hopped away.) These are not the three escapees, but they were on their way up the ramp and out of there. They reminded me of a gang of ruffians.
