Lost Gem

So, I am finally getting to my file clean up from 2010. As per usual, I often find images that I overlooked! Here is one image that I cannot believe I never worked on. These are my boys when I was doing a Christmas card shoot in October. When I saw it, I saw the potential and went for it. I LOVE it now! Click the pic for a larger preview! Thanks for stopping by!!

Project 52 - Week Four - Lines

This week's theme is Lines! Lines are a very important element of photography....they can really change up a photograph. There are leading lines, which can lead your eye to the subject; there are horizon lines that could cut your photograph in half if not utilized correctly; but those are only a few examples.

I had one idea all week, but then we got a surprise snowstorm....16.5 inches of surprise (that was after a 6 inch surprise storm the night before). So, we ended up spending all day in the snow. I was snapping away like crazy and then I looked up at our Willow tree and the sun was peeking through so it hit me! This was what I would do. So, I present you with my interpretation of lines!

Project 52 - Week Three - Yellow

When you think of the color yellow what comes to mind? For me, it is sunshine, warmth, Coldplay, and my four year old's first official favorite color (he has moved to blue now, lol). This week our assignment was to photograph something yellow. This proved to be quite a challenge for me because the weather has been mainly snow and although I thought of yellow snow, I just couldn't make that creative...who knows maybe someone else can...ha ha.

Anyway, I look out my back window and go figure, a tree with slightly yellow leaves amongst all of the snow. Why hadn't I noticed this before? That is the entire point of this awesome project. To open our eyes to the world around us and get creative with it. So, there you go. Here is my interpretation of Yellow.

Project 52 - Week Two - Bokeh

This weeks theme is Bokeh. For those of you that do not know what Bokeh is, here is the definition in wikipedia - In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."

I chose two photograph's to show Bokeh. Really, because I could not choose one. The first is really true bokeh. I am working on my Valentine's Marketing images and these two stood out to me with the Bokeh. Click the pic for a larger preview! Thanks for stopping by, but don't forget to head to the next blog for their interpretation of bokeh. Info and link below!!!

Ok, I tried something else with my bokeh and wanted to add it. I created a heart cover for my recently broken 50 mm lens (auto focus is shot) and came out with this...

Project 52 - Week one: Self-Portrait

I am so excited to be participating in a photography project this year called Project 52. A group of 15 super talented photographers will be participating in the project. Each week we will have a theme that we will photograph as we see it. On Friday we will all post our photos! Below the weekly photo we will each provide a link to another photographer participating in the project and they will do the same creating a circle! This “link” will make it easy to follow each photographer participating in the project and give you a healthy dose of amazing eye candy! This project is going to be challenging....but so much FUN! I hope that you will join us this year as we take on PROJECT 52!
This first week we will be posting our theme on Sunday......Self Portrait! No photographer likes to be in FRONT of the camera....that’s why we are all BEHIND it! But, it is so important to have pictures of ourselves....if not for us, for our children and family. This week we are posting on Sunday.....but stay tuned for next week’s challenge on Friday!!! Enjoy! And thanks for coming along for the ride!!! xo
