Well, I still haven't found that "red" picture yet, but I have a few ideas after seeing everyone else's. I did take an action shot this week that I thought was fun. My kids really enjoy playing in the water so I took a bunch of pictures of them jumping over "Mount Tiki Soakie" or whatever it is called. Here is a picture of Ky. Hopefully, I will come up with something red soon. :)

Braedon loves Buzz Lightyear, and he loves to wear pajamas. So I took a picture of him with his Buzz Lightyear in his matching Buzz Lightyear pajamas. I don't like that the couch is in the background of the picture, but I don't think I can take it out. :) The lightsource is our large window. I enhanced the colors in Photoshop, but I couldn't get that orange out of his hair with my usual methods. I decided to be lazy and just leave it there. Most of my pictures have a very orange tint to them. I will have to figure out how to get rid of it. I might have to start getting into the habit of setting the white balance manually before I take any pictures.

Here is a picture of Cameron. I took this on top of the kid's bunkbed where she isn't supposed to be. So the light source was the lamp in the room. It is pretty grainy, but oh well. Not a great picture, but I like the expression on her face. She is looking at Ky.

This is going to have to be my new photo of the week. I don't have a lot of time this week because I am sewing several teddy bears for Ky's class, and I don't sew!!!! It has been hard for me! :) Anyway! I stuck Breadon in front of our window. His face is washed out more than I would like, but I mostly wanted to see how the pastel blues from his shirt would look. I am trying to impove the colors in my pictures.

I haven't used "blogger" for very long. Any ideas as to why a few of the pictures look all choppy/lossy when you click on it? Do I need to make sure it is a certain size so it doesn't blow it up for me? I was just wondering if there is a set size for the picture, and if it is too small, will it enlarge it for you. That is the only reason I can think of as to why the pictures are so lossy.

Braedon trying to be just like mom. :) Of course, I would never let him use my digital camera, but he is free to "play" with my film camera...if he will let me take his picture. He was trying to take a picture of Cameron. Again, I used natural lighting, a reflector, and a sheet.

This is a picture that I took of my brother playing his guitar. I didn't have very good lighting though. There was only a tiny lamp and a small window so the picture is quite "noisy".

This is the luckiest picture I have ever taken. I was sure lucky to have enough light on the eye and to have the grasshopper so in focus. I have tried taking similar shots, but none have turned out quite like this one.

Here is a picture that I took of Cameron a while back. I would have liked just a little more of her face in the picture, but this is how I took it. :) I took the picture next to the window with a white sheet behind her.
