30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 30: Low or High Key Photo

So here we are at day 30.... I MADE IT! Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement, and even the nagging to make me finish! Ahh, it feels good. :)
I have learned a lot about my camera and have ventured to do things I've never thought of or have never taken the time to do in the past. And I hope you learned a little a long the way too! And one thing still is for sure: I love photography.

Love all you guys! Thanks for following.

30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 29: An Overlay Photo

So this is an overlay photo.  I mean it obviously come SOOC (straight-out-of-camera... day one!) There was a brown vintage overlay and also a bokeh overlay (can be best seen in upper left corner and on scarf).  I know this may sound a bit confusing but if you just take a look through my blog I promise will begin to make a bit more sense! ;)

30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 27: Reacreate a Memory

Although this is just an old photo and not 'recreated,' the memory is still there. This post goes out to my dad...

I remember Sunday mornings when we would get up and make pancakes together and see what the pancake shapes looked like, I remember getting butterfly kisses before I went to bed, I remember long bike rides around town that always ended with ice-cream, and I remember the nickname you gave me - bug. You pushed me to do the things I was too afraid to do (like tubing behind the boat... when I was 8) and you were (and are) always patient with me. I love it when you listen to me, it's great to be heard, especially from you. You helped me mature into a young lady too many ways to count, but in some ways I will always be 'daddy's little girl.'

Love,
Bug

30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 26: Photo with define color

Now that's what I call color! I bet you can't guess what this is.  Yes, I know it's hard... to me it just looks like something from 10th grade Biology class.
Hint: It's my brother's birthday

30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 25: Two Photos in One

So here I was, late Saturday night realizing I still have a photo to do. Awesome.  I was going to 'cheap out' and take a photo of my piano or cat or something but instead I created a creative backdrop and set up the shot.  When I go photo-shoot crazy, the image I want to create in my head is generally totally different than what I come up with.  I have all these elaborate plans and then someway through the shoot new ideas pop in and the whole shoot takes a turn. I think I should have a cap on the ideas I'm allowed to have during a shoot. But I'm just letting my creative juices flow... right?

Oh and the backdrop? The shower curtain with a sheet over it.
