Sigh, just love these "test shots" from Color Guard portrait taking day.  Facebook friends have already seen this as well!

2014 89/365 A fine example, The Aperature Look, 1

A fine example of that look I was trying to achieve...let's call it the "aperature look".  The Color Guard portraits didn't have the look, because I placed the subjects too close to their background, geez.  But, I'm so in love with this look and plan to experiment some more!  My Facebook friends will have already seen this shot, apologies!

2014 88/365 Should probably have a record of this on the blog

I was messing around with our new fancy lens with instructions from Paul.  Historically this does not always go so well (moon school).  But, this time, no problem.  Just again reiterating that the best time to learn something is when you need it!  Otherwise, for me at least, if you tell me before I need it, it's just all blah-blah-blah-wait, what?

I was tasked with taking portraits of the Color Guard and I knew the look I was trying to achieve which it turns out is all about the aperature, folks.  In our lesson, I took this great shot of Paul:



Oh, and, by the way, Happy Birthday Hubs!  I love you man!

2014 86/365 In which I share a shot of my bedroom rug

Yep, exciting times here on the blog!  LOL!

I recently put some faux-sea grass/jute rugs down around the place.  Got 'em for a steal.  What is exciting about this, is for the first time in maybe my whole life, under my bed is EMPTY except for a camping air mattress! 

The rugs are helping to warm up our cold feet around here, which is nice.  So, I know the suspense is getting to you now...here's the photo:
