#OurProject52 – Back to School
I don’t have any kids, so I don’t take those back to school photos that most people do, but working at a university, I do have the opportunity to take some photos of the students when they get back to campus. These photos were taken after freshman orientation, so many of these are new students.…
Read More#OurProject52 – Still Life
I love to take photos of the little displays I make around the house and office, so it seems that I’m always taking still life photos. I have yet to figure out how to get the photos to come out beautifully, but I still really enjoy taking them. What tips do you have for taking…
Read More#OurProject52 – Celebrate
This has been a good week to get photos of celebration – it’s our local county fair. However, my side of the celebration at the fair always looks a little different, as my husband and I are volunteers out there and help to put it on (more him than me, but I help where I…
Read More#OurProject52 – Negative Space
Negative space isn’t something that comes naturally to me when I take photos. This is probably because I like closeups so much. I’d much rather take fill my frame with the subject, than leave empty space, so this was a great exercise for me. I’ve been doing a lot of book photography lately for my…

Read More#OurProject52 – Motherhood
I managed to skip out on a few weeks of posting my #OurProject52 photos, mostly because I’m a slacker, but the main reason was that I didn’t manage to take any photos with fit the motherhood theme for the May 14th challenge. Not being a mother myself, taking photos that relate to motherhood was a…
Read More#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…
