Day 24/365: Bird in the Sky

Yep, I see a bird in this cloud formation...a bird swooping down. What do you see?

What I love about this photograph: The movement and formation of the cloud and also the beautiful color of the sky. SOOC...only added my logo.

Day 21/365: Bokeh Ball

One of the upcoming DP Review Challenges is "Trapped in your Bathroom". I have no intention on entering the challenge because there is really nothing interesting in my bathroom but the challenge did make me decide to take a photograph of something in my bathroom. This is a photograph of a glass dish filled with potpourri. Of course it's Bokeh Thursday and I'm kinda digging this bokeh.

What I love about this photograph: The colors and the fact that it's gorgeous without any post processing. SOOC (I only added my logo)
Technical Stuff: Nikon D40; 42.0mm; 1/60s; f/5.3; ISO 250

Day 17/ 365: Remnants of Fall

I was doing today's photowalk with the intention to find some "leftover" Autumn. Wasn't it nice of these three leaves to just to sit there and wait for me like that??!!

I want to thank all of you for missing lil' ol' me *blushing*. I didn't stop doing the project but had misplaced my camera cord and didn't have a backup to use to upload my pictures and I couldn't dare post the blog without the pictures! So I would come on and blog, save the draft, and search for my cord. Sooooo glad that I found it today and thanks to all of you for your patience. As you can see, nature was talking to me this past week. I never knew that I enjoyed photographing nature so much until I started this project.

What I love about this photograph: The colors and shine. SOOC (I only added my logo)!

Day 16/365: School Colors

This tree/bush (don't know which it is and don't know the name) sits in my grandmother's front yard. It caught my eye because of it's colors. Whenever I see green and "gold" together, I always think of my middle school. Woo-hoooooo! GOOO TIGERS :)

What I love about this photograph: Love how the colors seem to complement each other perfectly and how the waxy feel of the leaves can be seen in the photograph. SOOC (I only added my logo)
Technical Stuff: Nikon D40; 26.0mm; 1/60s; f/4.2; ISO 360

Day 14/365: Berries and Bokeh

 It's Thursday and I'm attempting bokeh again. Thanks for all of the advice that you guys gave me last week. I am looking forward to buying a new lens in the upcoming months. Until that time, I have to keep playing with my current lens.
This picture is of a Holly tree that my dad planted in the front yard back in the early 80's. I used to want to eat the berries when I was a kid....LOL, good thing that I didn't though. I often overlook this tree but am glad that it caught my idea today...it was a perfect bokeh subject.  

What I love about this photograph: I love how vibrant the red and green looks. SOOC (I only added my logo)

Day 4/365: Hanging out in the most unlikely places

This is definitely not the shot that I intended to post today, but she was just so freaking cute, I couldn't resist. (and i hate cutesy shots!) She was literally just hanging out in the refrigerator.  I was able to get about 7 pictures of her before she got bored and decided she would much rather hang out in her Mema's bed.

What I love about this photograph: Lounging, as if she's sitting in her favorite chair. SOOC (I only added my logo)
