Photo Challenge 10 – Self
This weeks photo challenge 10 is on the topic “self”. Self For me that’s rather tough. I am more critical of photos of myself than others. I don’t know how you are, but that’s how I am. That’s why it’s a good idea to take a lot of photos, instead of just one. Try different angles and settings. Props Try different props, like scarfs and hats. I hardly ever wear hats. But I tried several different ones with caps, hats and scarfs and without any of that. Chances are that you’ll find one that you really like. Lighting Make sure you have good lighting. Sit besides a window for instance.…

Photo Challenge Picture 5 & 6 – Love & Family
Since I did not post last week I combined pictures 5 & 6 of the photo challenge with the topics “Love” and “Family”. I took this picture of my dogs Ice and Raven playing with my phone and edited it with Snapseed. They are what I love and they are family. And clearly they love each other, too. Ice is a little ruffled from playing. I am glad I got at least one picture where Raven wasn’t all blurry. She’s has high puppy energy and loves to go fast. She’s now seventeen weeks old. We got both of our pooches at the local humane society. Photo Challenge. I created the…

Photo Challenge Picture Week 3 – Dessert
Here is my photo challenge picture number 3 for the 52 week photo challenge with the subject “Dessert”. A Celebration. My husband just celebrated his birthday and wanted an ice cream cake. So I went out and bought him this one. And took the great opportunity to take photos of it. Certainly we ate a slice right after I got done taking photos, since my husband waited patiently for me. The Challenge. The challenge that I faced was that it was close to dinner time and the natural light was getting low. To help with the light I opened all the blinds and curtains and let in as much light as…

Keep It Simple – Easy Composition for Photography
Do you ever try to capture too much in your photographs and not keep it simple? Keeping it simple is harder than it seems. The camera captures everything, while we see things selectively. When you look at your photo, how many times did you say to yourself: I did not see that when I took this picture? Reflection of my images Recently I started to look at my own photographs and realized that I am guilty of the same. Though nice, a lot of my photos seem to be cluttered. The eye bounces around in the photos with nothing to hold it where it needs to be. Or it’s nice,…
