One last Hat...

...and I am obviously getting desperate. My son was napping (or at least trying to) after his ball game, but between me and the kitty bugging him, was not too successful. After I fired off a few shots I hear an almost imperceptable (and tired) voice say...."trying to sleep here Mom"....so I left him alone...oh well.

Wild, Pink and Fuzzy

This is one of our wild hats that the kids love to wear. Settings: d70 m at 70mm iso 200 f4.5 1/200

Flash test

Always on the looking for the perfect flash accessory. Today I combined the need for a hat photo with finding the best flash bounce. So, I tested the Omnibounce straight on set on TTL, at a 45 degree angle and bounced off the ceiling. These had various problems with shadows and color cast. I did, however like the look bounced off a white board placed to the side. The pocket bounce made dark shadows under her eyes and on the wall (she is about 3 feet from the wall). This is my favorite of them all for the lighting ration. It is with the Better Bounce Card. SS 1/60, f 2.8, wb flash +1, iso 200

Graduation kitty

My 18yr. old son received a graduation bear for...well...graduation, and he decided the outfit would look cool on his kitty (did I mention that he's 18?).

I'm leaving tomorrow morning very early on my drive to Utah "yippee I get to see Lindy" so I will be out of the loop for a few days. Have fun!

Best friends

Ok, I'm cheating today. This is a photo from a few weeks ago (actually last month...geez) but my daughter (the one in braces) is at dance camp this week and I miss her....so I wanted to post this (another pic that she hates....how kind of me).

ISO 125, ss500, f4 cropped and sharpened for web.

New Hat

My oldest purchased this hat to use for her senior portraits, but I haven't had a chance to take her picture wearing it yet (she wants to wait until the braces come off). So, my youngest posed for me today since it is HAT week! ISO 200, F 4.6, SS ??? ha, can't remember

Very kewl hat :)

Okay this is my clients hat (I work with people with disabilities) and since I am not allowed to show pictures of him without permission from his guardian I asked him to take off his hat. The hat is the cutest darn cowboy hat I ever seen. It's made of straw and has funky curves to it, suppose look like its been disformed, like you had fell asleep with it on haha. It also has his name on it in this brass looking wire, look close. I have to say it looks AWESOME on him and I usually ask him to wear it for me haha.

Veggie Dinner...

...for hubby and I. Kids were out and about last night so I scrounged in the fridge and used what we had. Came up with this (+ a salad)...I think once my kids move out, we will eat a whole lot less meat...and a lot more cheesecake!

Trouble

okay, this is food, right? Any idea how to feed hummingbirds without getting a swarm of honeybees? They seem to be multiplying. Now the birds have to wait for the bees to leave so they can eat! I've never had this happen before.

I cheated!

I took a pic of tonight's dinner, but I didn't have my camera, and I knew I wouldn't have time to take a food pic when I got home, so I used my camera phone!!! LOL Oh and so you know, I didn't eat all this by myself...I shared with my youngest son! Settings are~ point and click hehe :)

Last night's dinner

Okay I couldn't take a pic today MIL was visiting but here is last nights dinner I made for everyone, it's my husbands fav :)

a little pasta anyone?

I've really enjoyed this week with food. This is a natural light shot with reflector on the right side Used apeture priority but it underexposed sooo, I took again and bumped it up 2 spots on my in cameria meter. iso160 ss13 f3.2 used my 35mm

Another wine glass photo...

...I'm going to be gone all day (shopping with DD...ugh...not for DD... just don't like to shop) so I'm posting the pic I took a few days ago that I thought wasn't nearly as good as Tesa's grape pic, but I do like the lighting. It was taken in the early evening when the sun was just coming thru our kitchen window. I walked in and the glass happened to be set down in just the right spot. I took a few and then moved it around to see if I could get somehing better, but this turned out to be as good as it got.
