Consumption

This week's assignment was to photograph 'consumption.'  I interpreted that as consuming food and beverages.  The above was taken using a lighboard underneath the straws and a large flashlight above them.  Below, I was once again practicing with the program Light Room.  I like experimenting with filters and colors so both images were fun for me to edit.

Blue Moon 2015 is the next opportunity

I thought a 'Blue Moon' would have a tint of blue, of course.  I educated myself to learn that the term indicates a second 'full moon' in a month.  This will not occur again until 2015.  The photo above is full color, not blk/wht.  I did nothing to the image.  It's not award winning but it documents the 'Blue Moon'.

Assignment: TALL/short

I changed the above to blk/wht and added noise. Below I did nothing.  That grass is sooo green like the grass you see in early summer.  Bailey doesn't fit the assignment but is just too cute to leave out! 

Jump!!!

 Both are learning how to land on their feet SAFELY. (inside joke).

Lightroom Practice

These are practice photos using "Lightroom 3"  These images were in very poor quality and composition.  I attempted to make the composition more interesting with cropping and used many processes which affected light.  With Lightroom I know how to lighten/darken parts or specific areas of a photo, rather than making the entire image brighter/darker.  These techniques are simple for some but it is a learning curve for me.  Soooo much I still don't know!

SMART= The next photo scavenger hunt item

A clearer look at the photo below.

Scavenger Hunt- Glass/Crystal

I used a 'sponge' filter to capture this image of me waking up.  I'm blessed, or cursed, with some early morning light that fills my bedroom.

Scavenger Hunt

A photo Scavenger Hunt has begun and week one's object to find is 'division'.  I needed to find an object that divides something into two.  Here is my result.  My wall divides the private property on the left and a public hiking trail to the right!  Week one, complete!
