trying out a NEW photography tip

I recently read this article titled, “The Photography Tips that 96 Photographers Wish They Would’ve Learned Sooner”  and I thought there were some really good ideas in it.  I’ve been known to ‘Go out shooting’ and hope something would pop out and inspire me.  But today, I tried to implement Lesson #1 from the article.   I envisioned this shot, planned and then created it.  You’ll probably find this shocking, but it wasn’t raining today….I spritzed the window with water from a spray bottle!  Before I read this article, I might have felt like that was cheating!  🙂

Next, I’ll have to work on Lesson #2, because I could REALLY get better at reading my histogram.

Have a great day!  Do or learn something NEW!

 

Miscellaneous Monday…NEW random stuff i gotta share

Happy Monday!  I just got home from yoga and thought I’d hurry and post a few miscellaneous items before heading off to work.  So…along with this random waterwheel photo from my archives, I thought I’d share a good app that my son recommended.  He’s a bodybuilder type and we recently asked him about some specific exercises we should be doing.  He said, ‘Just download Body Space app’…which I did.  They have an exercise database which I really like!  No more getting bored of the same ol’ exercises for different body parts.  You all know I love NEW stuff!

Also, here’s a good video clip.  I’m fascinated with accelerated learning:

NEW photos of my week #40

I finally remembered to take pics for Scavenger Hunt Sunday!  {Amazing!}  The list this week was: See, Sea or C  (I chose candy!); Chair, Symmetry (feathers are amazingly symmetrical)!;  Blanket and Giggle.  It’s nice to go hunting for shots this time of year, because beautiful shots don’t just pop out of this frozen tundra on their own…its not as photogenic as some might assume! Ha! :o)

I’m linking to Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Mosaic Monday

poem

As you can see, I’m still playing around with my extension tubes…do you like my pin cushion?  Yeah, wow huh?  Well, once summer comes, maybe I’ll get to shoot some cool caterpillars or butterflies or something more exciting :o)

I LOVE the last line of that poem!  Those are my thoughts exactly :o) Take me, oh take me to anywhere NEW!  {Hawaii would be nice}

a NEW Thursday Thought

Happy Thursday!  You’ll notice this photo is lacking snow and ice.  Yup, I’m tired of the snow and ice…so I browsed through my archives for today’s Thursday Thought post.  This photo was taken in Nauvoo, Illinois this past summer at about 6am one fine morning.

Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW…and remember to forget the mistakes, headaches and heartaches of yesterday and start again…because today is a brand NEW day!

miscellaneous NEW stuff

I realize I haven’t been posting much lately!  Life happens…ya know?!?  So, what’s NEW?  Well, a bunch of minor, miscellaneous STUFF!

The photo above is my NEW indoor herb garden that I got for Christmas.  I LOVE it!  Since I keep it in my pantry, I pay MUCH MORE attention to it than I would if it were outside!   I started it exactly one month ago…and the dill is going wild already!  I can’t wait until I can actually harvest enough to use! I’ve been psych-ing myself up for harvest time by pinning ideas…check out my ‘Fresh Herb Recipes’ board on Pinterest.  I have dill, cilantro, chives, two types of basil and parsley. Fun!…and if I photography any food dishes, it’ll be nice to have fresh herbs on hand to make the photos more interesting, right?!

Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW!….and if you need a good laugh, check out this funny   hilarious video.  {I about cried, I was laughing so hard!!!}
