Cathedral

More reds - this time downtown looking at the changes fall had brought.

Nature Walk - Fire Red

Nature

So often I focus on the blues of nature. This time, it was the reds and the changes of fall.

Blue Skies - Grey Trees

Blue skies

The funny thing is that I used colour enhance to just get the blue skies, but the trees were all grey anyway. It just, as it is supposed to, enhanced the contrast.

Colour Enhance- Chair

Chair

It's litter but it's pretty. I used colour enhance to focus on the blue chair left in the woods.

Oh Christmas Tree

Tree

This is a picture of the parents tree. My husband saw I was interested in playing with the new tripod in the house and showed me how set a long shutter and take pretty pictures of christmas tree lights and bulbs. I like this one - this bulb was great to focus on and made the lights look dreamy and a little delicate.

Starting out

This blog will be comprised of - mostly - my focus 52 projects. I just miss blogging and I love doing projects and learning. I'm doing a 365 project on flickr and sometimes I'll just link to those or share pictures that I love or love the behind the scenes story. I'll try to label well so that you know which project - or thought process is behind the pictures.
I don't have a great camera. I have a point and shoot Canon Power Shot SD630 Digital Elph. I'm hoping to get a Canon Rebel at some point. I don't take great pictures but I love learning about what I'm doing and working with it. Some pictures are good and some are just pictures. But I'm learning.
