Other new pics

Haven't see the deer for awhile.....This is Old Momma, Little Doe, and Brutus--first in color, then silver pearl.

The moon was bright last night and the sky clear.  I went out with the tripod and 21mm lens to capture the sky and the starburst moon.  That's so much prettier than just a typical blur.

Same night, but finished with Silverpearl.  There is just something about black and white and changes a photo.

 Snowing!  Plus starburst.  I've been doing a lot to learn this type of exposure and get it down without really thinking about it.  I think I've finally nailed it.

This is what I'm talking about when I talk about how black and white can change an image.  I like the starkness of this image.

More snow and starbursts!!!  Silver pearl finish.

Moody blues finish.

Tina A.--new objective (and a challenge for you) self-portrait in each batch of photos that you shoot.  Different style every time.  You with me?

Self-portrait

Back to basics....

Years ago, I took a basic photography class at BAC (now SWIC).  I remember one of our assignments was to take a self-portrait.  I've been looking around for another photography class and not having any luck finding one.  But, I did find my book from that first class.  So, I thought I'd try to follow along all over again.

This is what I would definitely call a lucky shot.  I was sitting on the couch in the living room and just turned the camera around and shot.  I ended up with two usable shots.  This is one of them.

Taken May 14, 2015.  ISO800; 55mm; f7.1; 1/320sec

I warmed this up and then increased saturation and vibrance.  I cropped a bit of the left side off just so I didn't have to vignette the photo.  I had one stray hair on my forehead and I was able to make that go away.  I think it turned out pretty good considering I didn't expect to get anything at all.
