days 26-28...

day 26 ...playing with shadows.

I decided to skip this one. The temps have been near or over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and it is too darn hot to sit outside and play with shadows



day 27... using sun as your lighting.

 

I prefer natural lighting and almost never use flash. I chose this photo because I loved the angle of the light, that Lilly is shielding her eyes from the sun and the light on Chloe's face. Plus, I don't get much opportunity to photograph my girls anymore. I love the beautiful lighting we have at sunset. In the evenings the breeze sweeps in and blows most of the humidity away and the sunsets are to die for. If the winds had not been so strong we would have used the paper parasols I had bought during this photo shoot.

day 28... incorporates motion.

I knew this one was coming so when I got this photo of Spencer diving into the hammock I knew I would use it for this. I shot this before he agreed to let me take his photo.

days 16-25...

this is going to be a long post...



day 16...experimenting with light trails.

Taken from the balcony of our hotel in Ocean City. Traffic wasn't very heavy.



day 17...street lights.

I grabbed this one before we left on vacation.




days 18... depicting emotion

Kate and Matt... he is still looking a little surprised and bewildered. When I showed them this shot Matt said ... "Did I do that?" in a great deadpanned Erkle voice.


day 19...involves landscape.

I love the little stretch of prairie between Mom's section of our neighborhood and ours.




day 20...what ever you please.

One happy little guy. He is getting so big.


day 21...sunset.

These are always easy shots here in our new neighborhood. Almost every evening Patrick and I watch a beautiful sunset while we walk the trails.


day 22...a person you love.

Patrick.


day 23... makes you think of childhood.

Sisters sharing secrets.



day 24... has a color scheme

I again forgot to replace the memory card in the camera when we went to Assateague, so the above is a cell phone photo.



day 25... what ever you please.

My nephew, Spencer, does not usually let me take his picture. While we were in Maryland he allowed me a few shots. This is my favorite, and since he let me take more than one I have another that I like...

Whew... now I am only one day behind!
