#NaBloPoMo – Secret Shot

I love taking photos of people when they don’t realize it. I think this comes from the fact that I used to hate having my photo taken, and some people I know still do.  That means it’s easier to catch a smile when people don’t know I’m taking a photo. And have you noticed how…

#NaBloPoMo – Light

As an amateur photographer, light is something I struggle with.  My indoor photos are often yellow, and if it’s sunny, my outdoor photos can look washed out.

#NaBloPoMo – Say Cheese!

Do you feel like your smile is more honest when you’re taking a selfie or when someone else is taking your photo?  For me, I feel like my smiles are more honest when I don’t have someone in front of me telling me to “Say Cheese!” Of course, if I’m comfortable with my photographer, we’re…

#NaBloPoMo – My Better Side

I’ve never subscribed much to the idea that one side of my face is better than the other in photos.  The only real rule I have about getting better photos of my face is that I don’t love shots that are straight on, because when I smile, I sometimes get one eye that is squintier…

#NaBloPoMo – My Passion

Today’s #NaBloPoMo photo prompt is “Your Passion.”  It was tougher than I thought to choose one thing as my passion. I did finally narrow it down to a couple of things, though. I absolutely love to quilt. The ability to create with fabric is amazing. And if there’s ever an apocalypse, my husband and I…
