Afternoon times at the lake. One of those memories we like to have during the long winter months. This girl was fascinated with the ducks, and spent quite a bit of time watching them. Shooting in the direction of the sun made her look silhouetted for the picture. Building memories for children is an important […]
Little boys … shy … not sure about having his picture taken? He just didn’t want it to take too long to have his picture taken and wondered when he could get down. Little boys are given to us from God. God makes each of us unique … looks … personality … attention spans …and He […]
Now that I’m back in my “day” job, it’s getting harder to find time for photography and writing in this blog. My goal is to add a new picture each week. Recently I had the chance to take some portraits of several children. This month I’ll add some of these photos. This little girl enjoyed posing for the […]
Bubbles and little boys … I don’t know very many little boys who don’t like water. I’m sure he would like to have actually enjoyed being in the bubble. However, he was definitely enjoying the water. I used Photoshop Elements to put the two pictures together … still learning.Would you like to live your life in […]
This was something that fascinated me. It shows the water drop entering the water bubble. Normally we would think that the water bubble would break at this point. I think I’d like to try some more of these when I get time. I’m amazed at how God puts beauty into small things, and things that […]
I’ve wanted to try this for awhile – putting a water droplet into a glass, and since I’ve tried a bubble in other pictures, I combined the three of them. I used the tungsten White Balance because I wanted the blue colour. It took awhile to get this as the bubble didn’t always cooperate. Settings: […]
Bubbles and coloured backgrounds. I like the looks of the patterns within the bubbles. It’s amazing how perfect the sphere is when a bubble is sitting on water. I will not be publishing any more pictures for a week, as we are going camping. Hope to take some pictures while we are away. Settings: 1/200, f/5.6, […]
I really enjoy the lilies in our yard. This is one our daughter gave me. When it first started, there were only about 1 to 3 blooms on it. Now there are well over 30. They are almost out of season, so I thought I should try getting a water drop with the lily. I’ve tried […]
I hadn’t tried using a background of wrapping paper before … this was one of my first attempts. I often wondered how people got the coloured variety in their picture, so was glad to learn how to do this. I found that I had to change the aperture setting depending on how bright the wrapping […]
I decided to try my hand at water drops again, as I won’t have much time once I’m back at work. For this shot I stuck a flower to the white back drop and bounced my flash off of it. This is what put the reflection of the flower into the water drop. I have […]
