A couple good things about today’s photo challenge…I now know how to spell silhouette and now I have a photo of my love and one of his great loves.

Day 15: Silhouette

Eyes…mine…with an insane amount of makeup on them and no glasses. Pretty much not me at all. But hey, I was attempting to think outside the box. I washed it all off immediately after taking the photos :)

Day 14: Eyes

I don’t shoot often from low angles, I really prefer to get above my subject and since my subjects tend to be tiny people anyway, it is easy to always shoot from above or straight on. It was good for me to get down on the floor (taking photos of the dog which didn’t turn out) or squishing into a tiny space for the only good light in my living room (see photo below!) Thank you to my sweet big girl who always lets me take photos of her :)

Tomorrow’s photo is supposed to be of fruit…better go to the grocery store!!

Day 6: From a Low Angle

f2.5, 1/125, iso400, huge window to the right

This track has basically been up all weekend, each child contributing to it, moving pieces, connecting bridges and dragging trains across it. I love how the kids can ignore certain toys for weeks and then one day…it is all they want to play with for hours on end.

Taken with at 18mm, 3.5f, 1/60, iso1600 (dark dark living room!)

I had to take a picture of clouds today. I figured, not so hard, I’ll just point my camera up to the sky and there you go…except that California weather is having a personality disorder and the whole sky is one big cloud. It should not be this cold in June! We should either be dripping with sweat from the cloudless sky and 100 degree weather or there should be nice little white puffs of clouds just working their way along the blue bright sky. I have neither of those things.

So I turned clouds into cloudy and here is my artsy little attempt at cloudiness. It wasn’t taken with a fancy macro lens just my plain ole’ 50mm and natural light. I threw on some photoshop layers so it looked like my favorite hues and there you go.

Day 3: Clouds…uh…Cloudy.

Image recipe: 3.5f, 1/400, iso 1000
