Weekly Photo(s)

We had the heaviest, prettiest frost on everything yesterday. I don't remember seeing it that thick before. It was really cool. My biggest regret of the day was that I didn't wake up early enough to take pictures of it before work when it was perfect. I didn't get to it until about 1:30 when the sun came out and it finally started melting. This is all I could do - a fence and some weeds behind a big building where the sun hadn't hit much yet.

I liked this one the most


These were just thin weeds. You get an idea of how much frost there was on EVERYTHING this morning.

This would have been better with a tripod for sure and I didn't take any time on settings. Maybe I need to start carrying the tripod with us on trips like this. It was fun to be there with the kids. Ana loved looking at all the little nativity sets they had up.



**Side note**
Ana really wanted us to let her hold a certain tool that she couldn't hold. After trying a few different angles she ended up saying quite a few times, "But I'm a special lady!! I need the tool." It was pretty funny. She also later stood on a stool in the middle of the room, pulled down her panties and said, "There is a bug in my bum!!" She was serious about it. It was really hard to not laugh and encourage the behavior.

Time for another photo of the week. Man, I need to start posting more or all my posts will be weekly photos. The first two pictures were cropped differently and the third is the original picture with no editing.






I like the smoke from the factory looking at it full size.

The exposure and depth of field isn't exactly like I would have wanted it but it did motivate me to learn a couple new things on my camera which is what this is all about anyway.

I want to start taking more pictures. I think I will be better motivated to take cool pictures if I am committed to share one once in a while. Every week before Sunday I will try to post a new picture of the week.

I took this one today because I noticed the light from the window on this bowl of gourds Erin had out. I was mostly playing around or I would have made sure the background of the picture was uniform instead of being on the edge of the table. Either way, I still like the lighting. Then I just played around with a couple effects.
