Photography Challenge: Day 6 (I'm waaaaay behind)

So, now it's a new week after our hello there! house Meet 'N' Greet and I can get back into the photography groove again! Here's my photo for day 6, of my Frannie Dog

30 Day Challenge: Day 5

My photo for today was admittedly rushed. I've been putting together the project boxes for the hello there! house Meet 'N' Greet on Friday and I noticed I was using a lot of pink. So, I grabbed my camera and snapped away. I wanted to play around with the depth of field so I used 800 ISO since I was indoors and it was twilight so my house was fairly dark. I moved the Aperture down as far as it could go (I think a 4.0 with my not-so-great lens) and moved the shutter speed so it was correctly exposed. Here's the finished product:



And here's the linky for everyone to share!

30 Day Challenge: Day 4

Well, today was a complete FAIL. I waited until today to take my sunset photo, only to find that it was cloudy today so there really was no "sunset". Hopefully everything will clear up tomorrow so I can make up for today!

So here's the link for everyone to post their make up shots in (remember you don't have to be on time for every assignment- post the ones you did do to play along!)

Photography Challenge: Day 3 (& some fun free printables)

For today's challenge I took my kids to the library to get some of my favorite childhood books. To go along with our library trip I found these free printables from Simple As That blog

How fun, right? My kids get so excited to fill out their reading logs and eat some "bookworm" treats as they read. Print some out and make a reading log for your own kid- they'll love it! 

Ok, now on to business. Here's my submission for today's assignment: books

I have this really wonderful italian cookbook that my best friend gave to me that I set up to be a combo book/cooking shot. I tried something way way way out of my style and added a Pink Vintage Overlay to it just to spice things up.







PS- I've decided our challenges will be a Mon-Fri thing so we can have weekends off. Landen's birthday is tomorrow and I have another special video to share with everyone!

Photography Challenge: Day 2

Day 2 is here! Since we had a hair cutting fiasco here at my house, Olivia got a brand new (much much shorter) haircut yesterday afternoon so I decided it was perfect timing since we have a child challenge today. I've been browsing around Pinterest to find some ideas for this assignment and this one really caught my eye:

I love the angle and how her blue eyes pop. I also like that she's not smiling she's just looking straight up at the camera and the photo is still gorgeous. I think many times child photographers wait and wait and wait until the kid is smiling but this is proof that even sullen photos are stunning.

So I tried to recreate the style as much as possible with Olivia this morning. I prefer my photos on the warmer side, the above photo has cool tones so you can see how much of a difference the tones make.



And here's the Linky Tool to show off your Day 2 Assignments!

Photography Challenge: Day 1

Here it is! Our 30 days Photo Challenge begins TODAY! Can I get a "Hells Yes!"? This list is sized an 8.5" x 11" so feel free to print out and stick on your fridge, mirror, chalkboard, or anywhere else that's easy to see and remind you to take your photos. Are you ready for your first assignment?

We're starting off like all the other challenges out there with a "Self-Portrait" Get creative and show us what you got- there are so many different ways to make yourself shine. Here's my Self Portrait photo:

I've created a linky list for everyone who is participating to link up to my blog so we can all see each other's photos! This is my first time trying out a link party so here are some directions I'm hoping will work- Just add a "permalink" from THIS blog post (copy and paste at the top of your browser. It should say http://iloverosemarywatson.blogspot.com/2011/07/photography-challenge-day-1.html) to the end of YOUR blog post with your photo in it.
