I hope that everyone likes the new look of the website. It has been a huge undertaking...my husband and I did everything ourselves. All I can say is thank goodness for tutorials! The photo header slideshow was the most difficult. My husband wasn't happy with the slides just changing... they needed to fade. Well they fade... and now he has to fix the slideshow on our website cause it was messed up in the process! Something always has to be messed up or the world just doesn't seem right. I have learned a few new tricks while my blog has been on hiatus. Yesterday Ashley over at Ramblings and Photos posted a wonderful tutorial about using ACR. I have been opening my .jpeg photos in ACR to give them a clean edit. I had not really tried much more than that though. Now most of my editing is done in ACR and I just run presets when I switch over to photoshop. I love learning new things... but when I do I always think that should go back and edit all my photos again with my new editing abilities. That is really just not a possibility. I don't know if I am going to get completely caught up or not. Eventually...
This is my first time doing the scavenger hunt. I have been taking photos for it all week but have either used them in my Project 365 or another post. So I apologize if some of my themes appear more than once. I will make sure that no picture repeats.
Windows/Doors I wanted to do something different than just take a picture of a window or a door. I had a few other ideas too, but this is the one that became a reality. My front windows face west which makes this the sun just before it sets.
Eyelashes This was a more difficult photo to take than it should have been. Theory- put on a movie and she will watch it and I can get my eyelash pictures. Reality- my too smart stinker of a daughter (who has decided not to willingly be the subject of my photos anymore) knew that was what I was doing and started blinking really fast just so that her lashes would be blurry. *sigh*
Paint Borrowed from my dear daughter.
Leaf Veins I have to tell you that this also was not an easy photo to take. (I think that I picked the wrong day to try all this... everything worked against me.) The wind was blowing pretty hard. This is the white birch tree at my mother-in-law's house. The beetles are obviously back again.
Faceless Portrait I'll admit that this subject had me stumped for a while. I couldn't think of anything that would work except the back of my daughter's head. The answer came to me when I noticed that my daughter's fingernails were painted two different colors. One is pink, the other is black. Then I noticed that her two aunts both had their nails painted the same. One girl has the black fingernails, the other has the pink nails. Kiera has one hand to match them both. How is that for not taking sides?
