Week 11: Photographer’s Choice
Welcome to week eleven of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. This week’s prompt is Photographer’s Choice. OK, ok, I know I’ve skipped a few weeks but, hopefully, I’m back. Anyway, this should be the beginning of week twelve, but I wanted to share this photo so… The Hubs and I celebrated our 24th anniversary a week ago and The Hubs had roses delivered to my job. Flowers, candy, a balloon, and a teddy bear. So sweet. I took a lot of pictures of the roses because I couldn’t take them home because The Hubs is terribly allergic.…

Week 8: Winter
Welcome to week eight of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. This week’s prompt is Winter. I know this isn’t a typically winter scene, but it is our winter. SOOC I took this at the SkillsUSA Competition at my school. I’d never heard of this until last week. Welders from different technical schools in the area came to our school to compete against each other. They take a series of written and welding skills tests – it’s so very cool. From what I understand, the nursing students also compete against each other in much the same way. EDITED…

Week 7: Love
Welcome to week seven of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge This is a photo from the archives, but it’s one of my favorites. You can see other images from the Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by clicking here. When I lived in Missouri, I used to go to the mill to think. And take pictures. Back then my photos relied heavily on editing rather than skill. I can see the difference between how I shot then and how I shoot now. I wish I had the opportunity to go back and shoot again. I…

Week 5: Rule of Thirds
Welcome to week five of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. Anyway, as promised, I’m showing the Straight Out of Camera {SOOC} image too, so you can see what I started with and how it ended. SOOC Nikon D7500 | 35mm |f /1.8 | 1/160 | ISO 400 This was taken outside in my backyard, late evening, overcast skies. The Hubs was working on the RV and Squeekerz was begging to go back inside. He’s a diva and won’t sit on the grass or the concrete. Camping with him is a lot of fun. That being said, I…

Week 4: Happiness Is…
Welcome to week three of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. Anyway, as promised, I’m showing the Straight Out of Camera {SOOC} image too, so you can see what I started with and how it ended. SOOC Nikon D7500 | 35mm I was sitting in my office on the floor with the light from the window facing me. I forget the exact camera settings and I accidentally deleted the details when I uploaded the photo. And now that you can see my office, you can see what I mean when I say I need to paint it. I’m…
