March 6 - Reflection

OK, I swore that I wasn't going to take pictures of the "usual suspects" (daughter, husband, family, etc.) for my photography blog, but how do I have a month that focuses on my favorite things WITHOUT taking pictures of these people.

So, in an effort to stay creative and take a picture of usual suspect #1 (my daughter)...here is a picture of her reflection in my rear view mirror. Don't worry, I wasn't driving while I took this picture.

March 5 - My lifeline

What would I do without my computer? Entertainment, communication, scrapbooking, photography, music, journaling, blogging...etc. I would be lost without it. After all, I feel it is part of the family.

March 4 - Cute Tootsies

OK, so I have realized that white balance is not very interesting. So, in an effort to make things a little more interesting, March's focus is also going to be an ode to my favorite things.

These little feet definitely make the top of that list.

March 3 - Freshly fallen snow

As sick as I am of snow, I still think this picture is nice. I love the look of freshly fallen snow on the trees, it is very pretty, even if it is March :-)

March 2 - Scrapbook Room

An ode to my scrapbook room...how I miss thee....

I am hoping to get down there this weekend to get some stuff organized for my scrapbooking weekend coming up in a few weeks!!!

Figure 1:
This is the photo I actually took, obviously the wrong white balance because it is WAY too yellow...

Figure 2:

This has had the white balance adjusted in Adobe Photoshop for a truer white.

Shutter Speed: 1 second
Aperture: f/22
ISO: 400

Over the next few weeks, I am hoping to learn how to get the white balance right with the camera instead of having to adjust it in Adobe.
