Photos of the week

1/18/10
The purpose of this photograph was to capture the essence of elegance portrayed by an extra dining room chair up against the wall under the painting. Anyone who watches any type of design show on television has seen the unused chairs up against the wall by a piece of art. I guess had I been a magazine photographer, I would have spotted the outlet in the photo and hid it by positioning the chair leg in front of it. Lesson learned :)

I thought it might be interesting to try and capture the precarious position of the pup's toys. They are stacked in our log rack by the fireplace. Brody loves to go in there and raid the toys.

I knew what I wanted to photograph this day, but never took the time to actually take the picture.

1/21/10
Earlier during the day one of my AP students was telling me how many books she had on her bookshelf. It got me thinking that perhaps an angled shot that captured the different sizes, would be interesting. This would a shelf of one of my many bookcases throughout the house.

No photography ideas this night, so I took a photo of the norm that is seen in my kitchen each night-stacked dishes.I liked how the light was bouncing off them casting a shadow. Do you see them?

Yesterday was my favorite photography day this past week. I just couldn't choose one photograph to share with you, so I'll leave you with several favorite captured moments of this gorgeous day.




Hopefully my photography has inspired you to pick up your camera and not only capture those special moments, but everyday life as well.
See you next week!

Week in Review

Now that school is back in session, between teaching during the day and then virtually at night, I just can't find the time to upload my photos each day as I did over our break. So, I'll be posting them as a week in review.

A picture of my favorite room in the house, my studio.
1/11/10

I had read somewhere that if you wanted to pick up the curvature of something to find the straight line and use that as the edge of your photo. I did that here, but I'm not too sure how successful it was in relaying the curve of my storage unit. What do you think, can you tell?
1/12/10
Sadly enough, by the time I realized I hadn't taken a picture on this day it was the next morning. I think from now on, I'll grab my camera as soon as I arrive home from school so I don't get sidetracked and forget.

Again, trying to pick up the shape of an object. This is my ab machine and the curves are really defined, which is what I was after in my image.
Here is another shot I thought may work.

1/14/10

Keeping the same theme: shape. This is on my dining room table. It is a glass container that I fill with potpourri. My focus again was the shape of the glass container, imagine my surprise when I first saw how beautiful the flower looked in this shot. I just love it!
1/15/10


These were my beautiful tulips right before their petals began to fall on my table. I saw how gorgeous they looked with the light coming in from the window that I couldn't resist snapping these. I couldn't choose just one to share with you, so I've posted them both for your enjoyment.
1/16/10
As I was grabbing my camera yesterday, I spied this in my line of vision. Any guesses as to what these are?

1/17/10
Today it's actually warmer and sunny outside, so I decided to venture out for my photography. Since all the pups wanted to go out as well, I found this on my side yard in my husband's pile of scraps from his shop.

The bent metal caught my eye; I find it to be very interesting.

That's it for this week's photos in review. I hope you're still picking up your camera and capturing that shot which could become a memory of a lifetime.

Beforehand I was covering the shivering baby with blankies (old towels) while in his "bedroom" (pen).

I couldn't pass up this adorable photo opportunity, what a cute little face he has with those soulful eyes.

January 10

My ds's Beagle, Brody, does not respond well to this cold weather we are experiencing, so being the great "grammy" I bought the poor, cold baby a sweater. What a chore that turned out to be since I had no idea how much the boy weighed. I turned to another patron at PetsMart who happened to have her little pooch donning a sweater very close to the one I had in my hand. She assured me it would fit him, so the purchase was made. Here he is in all his warm, cozy glory sporting his new duds.

Happy Day! January 5th photo lost, but now is found.

I was uploading recently taken photos and realized the "lost" photos were still on my camera :)

Here is the original photo from January 5, 2010.
I have so much ribbon that I thought taking a photo from a different angle would hopefully be a fun look.

Is that frost in Central Florida?

I woke to this on the ground; a rare sight here in the Southern State. I was playing around with my aperature seeing how I could capture the shadow of our orange tree on the fence. I think this photo turned out quite well.

I can't believe this!

I inadvertently deleted my photo taken on January 5. I am using a new program on my computer and my finger slipped. DRATS! I really did take photos.
Here is my photo for January 6-this is something that is always seen on my desk.
Just a few books I've been utilizing to help plan my next semester at school.
