Day 295 - your shoes

Day 294 - technology

Day 17 in my 30 day project
One of my most useful things to have ever bought... my computer.

Day 293 - Long Exposure

Today I'm on day 16 of my 30 day project.

(f/4.0; 2.5s; ISO 400; 27 mm) 

I was worried about following through with this prompt. Mostly because I never do high exposure. I'm used to capturing kids who are on the move, so I like to have a pretty short exposure. If I had been able to get closer to the road, then I probably could have gotten a better picture. But next time I'll do better :)

Day 292 - Something Blue

Okay, I'm on day 15 of my 30 day project which is actually a silhouette, but since I already did that I'm doing something blue. And then I will tell you about my day at the zoo. (that rhymed :))

Something blue - the background counts, right?

(f/4.5; 1/25s; ISO 800; 37 mm) 

The boys and I at the zoo. 

The height difference here makes me laugh. Also, Sorry about the watermark.. aha. 

I think this was my favorite animal today. He was running around in circles and coming up real close to where we were standing. 

The boys were in awe of the mountain lion that was right above us. And Maxwell has cheetos all over his face. 

Day 291 - Eyes

I actually did my picture today! Way to be :)

(f/5.6; 1/125; ISO 1600; 55 mm) 

I'm pretty sure I bribed Maxwell with food so that I could get this picture. :)

Day 290 - yourself with 13 things

So, I was sure I wasn't going to do this. It was just one of those days (or weeks) where I had no motivation to pick up my camera. Thankfully when I got home tonight after finally printing some pictures at Sams, I got a little bit of motivation and took this.

So for day 13 in my 30 day project:

(f/4.5; 1/50s; ISO 1600; 22 mm) 

Hey this counts, right?

Day 289 - Sunset

Yeah I fail. Today was supposed to be day 12 in my 30 day challenge... and it was supposed to be a sunset... but I didn't take even one picture.

Oh motivation... where have you gone?

Day 288- Silhouette

Today (day 11) I was supposed to be something blue on my 30 day challenge, but I think I'll do silhouette instead and do something blue on day 15.

(f/5.6; 1/1600s; ISO 200; 55 mm)

(f/5.6; 1/1600s; ISO 200; 55 mm)

I really love how these turned out. Thanks for being such a great model, Lindsay! :)

Day 287 - childhood memory

I've got nothing for ya :/

I thought about what I would do for a childhood memory, and I had a few ideas, but I never got around to it.

Smells often remind me of my childhood. New (wood) furniture always reminds me of when we moved to Colorado 5 1/2 years ago because we had a bunch of things from ikea, and they had this certain smell.

Day 286- someone(s) I love

I'm on day 9 of my 30 day project!

(f/3.5; 1/80s; ISO 800; 18 mm)

I really wish I had more time today to focus on the prompt that I was given. I was just so busy... so I snapped the picture and went on with my life.
I had all three boys today because Caden is on fall break. So, we went to the library and made it just in time for story time. I then let the boys check out a couple of books which they were so excited about.

I love these boys... even on days when they follow you around tearing the house apart while you try to clean it.

Day 285- a bad habit

I'm on day 8 in my 30 day project.

(f/3.5; 1/20s; ISO 800; 20 mm) 

It's true. I bite my nails... but only when I don't have nail clippers near by and my nails are too long. It's because I really can't stand having long nails. I'm not sure why that is.

Moving on, today I forced Asher and Maxwell to go on a walk with me, and I led the way for about 5 minutes and then let Max choose the way we were to go... and we ended up at a park. with swings. This is huge! The other park that we go to only has a tiny little playground and NO swings. Now we have another park within walking distance to choose from! I have to admit, that was probably the highlight of my day :)

Day 284 - Fruit

Day 7 in my 30 day project.

(f/5.6; 1/125s; ISO 800; 55 mm)

This little boy LOVES fruit. It's like a dessert to him. :)

Day 283- From a Low Angle

Day 6 on my 30 day project.

(f/ 4.0; 1/80s; ISO 800; 28 mm) 

Max was such a good little model for me on this day :)

Day 282 - From a High Angle

Day 5 of my 30 day challenge.

(f/3.5; 1/320s;ISO 200; 18 mm)

Which one do you like better?
