#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…
Read More#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. Fortunately, I recently read part of the manual for my camera and discovered how “scenes” settings on my camera works. It’s helped me a lot. Does your camera…
Read More#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…

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…

This guy has all of my feelings. Ok… him and the cat.
Read More#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…
