I Love

1) LOST: We have been totally addicted. We just finished up season 1 and are ready for the next. We have to watch at least 3 episodes a night and that is causing me to loose sleep and computer time. But I cannot let Steve go on without me. We have been wondering how we will manage when we are caught up and season 3 begins. We may have withdrawals when we actually have to wait a week in between. Good stuff!

2) That we are riding bikes to school again. All of the kids love it. I love that I don't have to stop on the hills anymore. I just push straight through....good feeling. Tells me that the days at the gym are paying off.

3) The feeling after I workout. Still trying to be more consistent but I am making my training sessions and she is seriously working me.

4) I started Twilight. I haven't been able to give it my full attention because of #1, it's grabbed my attention though.

5) My most recent favorite snapshot. I used this one for one of my assignments last week. I know I've said it before those two are good little buds.

6) That the backyard got tidied up. Looks like a whole new space.

7) This BEAUTIFUL weather. Love the fall. Wish it was like this all year round.

8) That my carpets, rug and sectional/ottoman that is disgustingly dirty will be cleaned this Thursday morning. I cannot wait!

Assignment 3

Got to work a bit with aperture this time...

learned a lot that I didn't know or realize.

Mainly that you don't have to shoot with your aperture wide open in order to get a nice blur in the background....bike f1.8, hydrant f11

Still chewing on some of the info.

Hoping to add to my knowledge base and put it into practice.

Here are a couple of my favorites.

Assignment 2

Just a few that I haven't shared from my last assignment....

Part of Assignment #1

Here are a few from my assignment. I like how they turned out overall. I know that there will be adjustments and things to change after my chat with Wendy.

Manual mode only

Those were the instructions I received from Wendy for the photography class I just started. Not as frightening as I thought it would be. I actually like my indoor shots better. This is for part of my first assignment. Her one eye is not in focus, but otherwise I like it.

I have not even started the class, haven't had my first one on one chat yet, and I feel like I have learned tons!! She has given so much information already. If you are thinking about taking a class...I highly recommend this one. I can't wait to see what the 12 weeks brings.

I am going to try and be better about my photo a day blog. I hadn't realized it had been so long since I posted to that thing. Check it out.
