Outside My Window ~ 3.18.2012
Outside my window…I’m waking up to a cool 54°F morning. It is about 9:30 with cloudy skies that are suppose to clear off later this morning. Our high today is an expected 67°, cooler than the past few days when we were hitting the high 70’s, low 80’s. After checking out the weather for the coming week, it looks as if we are going to stay in the mid 50’s at night and low 70’s during the day for the next five days. I can live with that. I generally don’t change the image to this post until the actual season starts…but since spring will happen on Tuesday and using…

Happy Dancing All Around
This weekend I am enrolled in a photography instructional course presented by creativeLIVE ~ the Posing Masterclass with Bambi Cantrell. Volumes of information so far…some things I am already doing…some things I am learning to do….some things I never realized were so important but actually make a world of difference. During the morning session she mentioned she would be critiquing photographs submitted to the Flickr group created for that purpose after the lunch break. As a photographer for over 25 years and a judge in photographic competitions, I knew she knew what she was doing…and I was a little hesitant to submit anything. I mean, would my work hold up…

Friday Flashback
Mrs. Manfree’s First Grade Class I’ll give you a hint….second row from window, third seat back from chalkboard. 🙂 I can remember we use to go to the playground during rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. It was a perfect place to see the Mercury missions as they appeared over the tree line. We would all stand and watch as they soared into space. I can remember the regular “duck and cover” drills during the Bay of Pigs. I remember playing outside with your friends until dark….or until your mother called you home to dinner. I remember gas wars and gas prices at @ 25¢ per gallon. I remember riding our…

Free Texture
I was feeling a little uninspired this evening…not so much to say I suppose. I was out shooting one afternoon and shot some texture images…this is one….. I used it on this image….a black walnut a squirrel had snacked on… ….and here is an after image….blending mode was soft light…. Subtle at this blending mode…but it gives you an idea of what it will do. You can get your texture here. It is a large 300dpi file ~ 3600 x 2500 ~ so it may take a few minutes to open up. Once completely opened, right click on the image and “save image as” on your computer. The watermark will…

My Little Pink Camera
When we all came back from Christmas break on January 3rd, most everyone in our office discovered a little surprise on their desk. No card….no hint as to who it was from…a Secret Santa perhaps. I got a little pink camera. It is about an inch wide. You can look through the lens via a hole in the back…it isn’t very clear, but very cool that you can do that. It gets even better. When you depress the shutter button on top, you hear a definite click-click…and see the little flash in the corner ~ it goes off. It is actually quite bright too. I have taken many photographs with…

Outside My Window ~ 3.12.2012
Outside my window…is the end of another beautiful day. The temperature today was around 75°F with sunshine and blue skies…..just beautiful. This past Saturday was a bit chilly but sunny…Sunday was warmer with sunny skies. We are currently at 64°F with slight breeze…low tonight is suppose to be 54°F with a chance of showers. Our high tomorrow, 70°F….as well as the next five days after that. There is a chance of rain Tuesday morning….but sunny for the remainder. The trees are flowering….I fear the pollen will be kicking in to full gear any time now….it is already a little challenging. From my kitchen…was dinner out with my former boss and…
