All taken w/ Canon Rebel XTi. ALL SOOC.
For week 10/24-10/30/10
No real solid theme for this week, so it’s ‘scattered’.
Trick & Treating
*No idea why I adore this picture & how all that’s in focus is Angel’s hat…but I do adore it.
Gorgeous (& SOOC)
Light Play
I was cleaning and saw this spray of light. Love that it photographed well
Handy Helper
Mmmmm….Frosting
Dash

Dreamy-sicle
I’ve made pettiskirts every year…never have I had such gorgeous fabric as this year.
I got my book on my camera this week. I’m looking forward to keeping reading and experimenting as I do. Hopefully even more as weeks go on!
That’s all for this week. Head on over to Lotus‘ digs to see more!!
Some of our favorites shots are always the ones that are a little out of focus. It represents REAL life, I think!
@Sarah,
Exactly!! Thats how it really is…nothing better than that 😀
The sunrise (sunset?) and Light Play are my favorites. Light Play ranks up there because it’s something I’d try to photograph — and I know how hard it is to get that sort of thing to come out well. 🙂
@Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba),
It was a sunset, Rebecca! I went out to get away for a little while one night and happened to remember to take my camera with me. When I pulled into the parking lot of my destination I saw these colors and bam…through the windshield even it came out like this. I was so happy.
I love seeing things like that just randomly. I wasn’t sure it would photograph well…but it came out better than I’d hoped!!
These are ALL gorgeous! I love the first squirrel shot 🙂
@Mrs4444,
Thanks! I had another one but nothing in it was in focus, the little bugger moved too fast…but it was still a cool shot.
They are all really nice, especially that gorgeous sky shot. Awesome colors!
@Texan Mama,
Thanks!! I really lucked out with the sky shot…it makes me smile every time I see it 😀
I really like the first shot BECAUSE the only thing is full focus is Angel’s hat.
The icing shot was too much. Now, I want cupcakes.
@Tara R.,
*G* That’s why I like it too! I pulled up the picture and it just sang to me. It’s like something I would have done in editing…but it was already done!!
*G* That icing is actually from the process of making Cake Pops (part of my Christmas cookie/treat pre-baking/making). Yummmmm….
The first shot is soo amazing. The movement and action of the moment in contrast with her in focus hat is spectacular.
The colors in the sunset.. WOAH.
YUM — frosting
@Rachel ~ A Southern Fairytale,
Thanks!! There was just something about that picture…and I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that loves the effect!!
I couldn’t believe the colors on the sunset…or that they actually came out in the picture!!
*G* Making the centers for cake-pops with that frost = DOUBLE yum.
That sky is INCREDIBLE!
And I’m with you… adore that the hat is the only thing in focus. SO cool
@Denise,
Thanks. I can’t take full credit for the sky, Mother Nature had a bit to do with it…;)
Glad you like the hat picture too. It’s always fun to find a ‘mistake’ that turns into a total treasure!!
I love that first one, too, where the hat is in focus with the rest not. It just has a really artistic and fun feel. Also loving that squirrel!
@Maggie,
I think that same exact squirrel was just on my back porch being a total smart-alec by sitting on top of the traps we’d set out (for a raccoon, not for the squirrels) last week and now are just resting on our back porch.
Glad you like the hat shot!!!
i love your abstracts shots! so good! and that sqirrel dash is awesome!
@jen,
Thank you so much!! I always try to get some creative shots in each week…it doesn’t always work, but I always appreciate them 🙂
stunning shots! i love that first shot too.
