Day 2 Theme ~ How They Look
I normally love to take photos with natural light, but working all day and getting home after dark doesn’t allow me the pleasure. I was able to get the picture of Daphne below on my lunch break, but any photos with the kids or Mike have to be with the lighting in our house. Challenging, but doable.
I signed up for a free online photography class from Willette Designs for the month of February called the “Joy of Love”. Each day I receive an email prompt with a photo assignment and a photography tutorial or instruction. The plan is to photograph my loved ones each day, challenge myself and learn along the way. Today’s theme is “what they do”. Here is what my family does…
I’m looking forward to the challenge and hope that I can stick with it for another 27 days! See you back here tomorrow.
A very cool thing happened this morning. I found out that one of my photos was selected in a contest by The Pioneer Woman. She has a fabulous site filled with stories about her life on a ranch raising four children with her husband. It includes her photography, recipes and daily musings. She often has photography contests with a theme. This week’s theme is “flowers”. I submitted this photo of Sophia holding pretty blue forget-me-nots.
There are usually 5 or 6 groups of photos chosen for the week. A number of finalists are chosen from those groups. A winner along with runners-up are selected. I’m not sure that I will make the cut. There are some AMAZING photos posted, but it is fun to see one of my photos in amongst those from some very talented photographers. I had another photo selected last May in one of her contests. You can see the post here. I didn’t make it to the finals, but it was an honor to be chosen. 🙂
