Day 35

Tonight I thought it would be fun to play around with some photos of Sam's eye of the storm. You know, one of those globe like things with electrical lights that are drawn to your hand when you touch it. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and here are a couple of the images I got.

Day 34

This was an exercise in shallow depth of field and getting the focus where I wanted it to be. I was moderately successful. This was all done with manual focus so not too bad I guess.

Day 33

Another night and I didn't have a photo so I was looking around the house trying to find something to photograph. Sam grabbed this rack of craft scissors and told me to take a picture of that. So here you go. Sorry I'm not very creative but this is helping me work more on exposure and playing some more with depth of field.

Day 32

I've been a little behind on posting pictures. We've had some internet connection problems but it appears to be working okay today. So here is an attempt at a landscape. I'm posting one in color and one in black and white. Let me know what you think.

Day 31

I was largely uninspired Sunday night and so I just grabbed this peacock feather and snapped a few pictures. Yes, sometimes the thought of 365 days seems like a daunting task indeed.

Day 30

My little girl turned four today. I've been wanting to see if I could do a portrait with candlelight so this was the perfect opportunity. I had to bump up the ISO quite a bit so the picture is a bit grainy but I really like the way it turned out.

Day 29

I was trying some things out with depth of field and playing with different apertures. I'm trying to do everything in manual to really understand exposure. I think this turned out pretty well considering it was about 11:00 at night and I was very tired.
