More

Here are few more. Pat, the picture of Braedon and Cam is at the same place you asked about. The leaves are gone from the tops of the trees, but the bottom ones were still there for the most part. The leaves are a very different color, but I thought it was still a great place to take pictures!

Another Photo

Okay, I was finally able to go out and spend some time taking pictures today! It was a lot of fun for me...not for the kids though. They hate getting their pictures taken. :( Maybe because I always have the camera out? Anyway...I took this picture of Braedon while on top of a ladder as I was throwing leaves down at him. I'm sure there are plenty of things technically wrong with this picture, but I just love it. It is so...Braedon. Thanks Pat for inspiring me to go out today and take some pictures, or I would not have this picture! ;) I took tons more, but it will take a while for me to look at them all. I will post a few more later.

Fall

I added the top picture after I had already posted this post. I guess I should clarify that! :) The top one I took very early in the season. Maybe on the 5th? or possibly even before that. I laugh at myself. I usually take my camera with me where ever I go. I was at a stop sign over by the railroad tracks in Snoqualmie. I looked down the street and saw this sidewalk. So I rolled down my window, and took that picture while still sitting in my car. :) I almost forgot I had taken it because it was quite a bit before the fall challenge. I thought the color of the leaves were so beautiful. The leaves in our yard fall down and turn brown so quickly. These leaves were so colorful! I just love autumn!



Well, I have only been able to go out once...well, if that even counts! :) I was waiting for a parking spot at the library, so I saw some trees over by the post office. I drove over there, and while my two youngest were screaming in the car, I got out and took a couple pictures of the leaves...yes, I take my camera with me when I go places just in case! I have seen so many beautiful pictures of the leaves and trees that you all have done. I will have to go out and try again! You have totally inspired me to do better than I have done!

Tummy Shot

Not that great, but there you have it! :)

Depth of Field

Well, I am finally posting a depth-of-field picture. I am a little behind. :) I also included a picture that I took while standing above the candles. Thank you Marci for the inspiration. :) I got a little too close, but I couldn't get back any farther. The ceiling was in the way. I had to climb up onto my entertainment center because I was too lazy to set it up again on the floor. I am trying really hard to take pictures "correctly" in the first place. I am trying to wean (sp) myself away from photoshop. :) I have been trying to pay closer attention to the lighting and the metering on my camera.
