Week 40 edit

It is Thursday which means in order to keep up, I simply must put my SOOC to WOW edit up! 


I am pretty sure you might not have seen my sooc, so here it is!
A leaf suspended by an old spider's web.



I tried several things once again this week! 
The first being to get rid of the additional distractions.








Crop it out a bit and...
  A little sharpen here, a little color change there!

 Hmmmm, not sure that I am thrilled with any of it!  I don't have a program setting which would allow me to have a cool back ground and a warm leaf, that is what I really want.


I know what my problem is...it doesn't have any eyes!!  I am craving some eyeballs to capture and need the practice! 
I have my very first bridal portrait session this Saturday, and you know that can kind of stress can do a number on ya!!
Well, maybe you don't know, but I am sure you can imagine the jitters and excitement!!
Eeeeeek! 

There were some truly lovely shots this week with the leaf theme, if you get a chance go take a look!

Whoa, sorry for the mess!!!  this new blogger is NOT intuitive!!!  will be spiffing this up as I can today!

And I am back, wondering just how many versions of this catastrophe you had to witness!!
I am not one of those people who changes things up very often.  I get things how I like 'em and then enjoy them for a long time, so this has been tough!!
What happened is that I decided to try a change and then couldn't figure out how to get back, which forced me to keep working on the change.
Ugghhhh! 
I am not totally happy with this, but it will do until I do some more research!
Actually, I should just leave it alone and let it grow on me a bit.
Okay...off to conquer more stuff! 
I will be back later today with...who knows what!!

Week 40 in a rush!!

I want to catch you up a bit VERY QUICKLY!! 

I went to visit the fish the other day and man, have they grown!!! 
Their bodies are now about the size of a flat english pea!

And...they doing wonderfully at posing now that they aren't so frightened or hungry.

























 I took this picture the other day in my shower stall.

















I had seen a blog post about using a seamless bathtub as a backdrop for ebay selling and it gave me the idea that I could do the same for simple plain backdrop shots! 

Of course I must work on getting the color right!! 

This was how I transformed it.

















This one was taken in the bathtub...ahhhh hahaha!! 





















  This one was taken on my front porch.  The jury is still out on if it is dangerous or not.  It doesn't really matter though since it lies dead in the yard.





















This is my new screensaver. I took it in a series of shots on Monday as a part of the SOOC to wow challenge of "leaves".  It is week 40 over there.  I think I may go ahead and link up this crazy post, so I won't be too far behind on that.




 Whew...only 3 minutes gone and I am done except for loading those pictures which you have now already seen!!


Oops wait, I didn't include my SOOC shot! 
Hold on, it is here somewhere.
























Ahhh yes there we go!
 It is a crispy leaf tangled in an old spider web. Looks like it is floating in an odd way, right?
 I have to rush, 4 piles of laundry await me!
If you are like me right now, you are thinking why did she choose that old dead leaf instead of the nice green ones?  That my friends will remain a mystery to us all.
Oh my!!
Oh BTW...I may play around with a new layout and design here.
One that gives me more space for the larger photographs I am having trouble getting to fit in this format.  Just, well...don't be upset if you come back and things are all changed up! 
I am making no promises, just pondering outloud!

rain

















It rained today.
For the first time in MONTHS we got rain for hours.
So, while this image is not crisp and perfect, the heavy drops of water are what I wanted you to notice today.
Thank you God for the rain.
