One photo a day challenge: Day 125. Most of the day today it was either raining or completely cloudy and dark. We had some nice bird visitors. A flock of Pine Siskins, a group of Blue Jays, and our first of the year Baltimore Oriole pair. I would have loved to photograph the birds but the conditions were poor for creating good photos. So it seemed like another perfect opportunity to wait… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 124. Spring continues to progress up here on the hill where we live. Living up at a little bit of elevation has a strange effect on spring for us. When we drive down off our hill we see grass greening, plants sprouting, leaves unfurling and flowers blossoming. We see all these signs of spring happening down in town. But for us up on the hill it… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 121. Today I continued with my theme of photographing our flowers. We went out and bought several new flowers to plant at home. I am always looking for something different. Something that catches my eye. I often like to get plants that I have never had before. This flower is very different than other flowers I have gotten. I can’t recall ever seeing anything quite like… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 119. Today I did something I don’t do very often. I used artificial light while photographing outside. We had been talking about lighting and using flash the other day in my photography class I am teaching. I talked about all the different ways that you can use flash and other types of lights to create great photographs. And I stated that I primarily use flash and… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 115. Yesterday was a gorgeous day. It was a great day for getting outside. The day was a perfect representation of what you want in early spring. If you are like me one thing early spring means to me is blooming flowers. Plants and nature coming back to life and growing after the winter thaw. I love plants and flowers. They are amazing in so many… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 106. I am not great with plants. I am especially bad at keeping potted plants alive. The likelihood of a plant surviving decreases exponentially if it is an indoor house plant. I love plants. And I really enjoy house plants. But it often turns into a cycle of buying new plants for the house after each previous plant dies a quick death. Orchids always say they… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 102. The gloominess and rain continued throughout the day today. With the weather less than ideal for what I typically consider my ideal photography I wasn’t sure what I would photograph. However, as a photographer one thing you eventually learn is weather is your friend. Weather is always your friend. You just might not see it in the moment. It might often seem like weather is… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 89. Today I decided to try something a little different. With the new spring plants starting to grow. Maybe I was inspired to grow. Take a Chance. Do something different. We have hyacinths growing as spring begins to warm. I decided to try to take a photo of them emerging from the ground. But something different to add to it. I took the photos at night…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 74. I bought these carnations a while ago to use in this project. They are lasting a lot longer than I would have expected. I wanted to take advantage of them for some more photos before the blossoms do fade. For this photo I wanted to highlight the purple streaks at the edges of each blossom petal. To do this I got up close to the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 62. Today was grocery day. That means it was the perfect opportunity to acquire a new subject for todays photographs. The store always has a nice selection of flowers. When photographing flowers indoor I prefer lighter colored flowers because that requires less light, which there typically is less of indoors. The flowers I selected for todays photographs was a bouquet of purple carnations. To photograph the… Read More
