Meet the Parents

I drove today and after work went over to check on Mom and Pops.  I saw some lovely mist on the lake in the morning but did not leave the house soon enough to run over and snap some pictures!  I considered being late for work by 5 or 10 minutes but decided against it since my 90 day review is coming up next month!

The Bus Ride

I have been riding the bus to save money and it gives me the chance to read photography articles.  I got my reading done on the bus today.  I picked up a PSA (Photographic Society of America) magazine at my camera club meeting on Monday night.  It was an old, out dated edition that one of the members brought in to get rid of and I snapped it up.  I read one article on histograms and another on aperature!  Fascinating stuff!

Spectacular

Autumn Aray

What a spectacular day!  Today is Monday, Oct. 11th, Columbus Day, and I did not have to go to work.  I started out with an early morning donation of plasma and on the way I saw a beautiful, spectacular, orange and red maple tree.  It was glowing bright with autum colors at 7:30 am.  After my donation, I headed up to Green Bluff for some pumpkin portraits, apples, and a gallon of fresh pressed cider!  I got some great pictures and enjoyed my morning, spending about 4 hours wandering on the bluff.

Rain, Wind and Photography....

I wanted to go out today and take more pictues of the Fall colors but it is windy and raining.  The rain I could deal with as I think it makes the colors more intense but I will need the leaves to hold still and I don't think the wind will listen and cooperate!  Today I will settle for 30 minutes of reading...

Costco, Shutterfly, Walgreens?

Where, oh where, does one get a picture printed that comes out the same color as you see on your computer monitor????  I did some slight color adjustments to a picture and sent it off to Costco for printing and it came out too yellow/gold.  So, while I was in Photoshop Elements 7 I saw a link for Shutterfly as the two are in collaboration with each other and they denied my credit card!  I was jsut going to give up when a friend suggested Walgreens.  So, today I sent some off to Walgreens... we will see...

Nada

I got nada for today.  I rode the bus to and from work and it limits my camera time as far as wandering around taking pictures.  The light is limited and pretty soon we will be on daylight savings time.  I have no excuse for not doing 30 minutes of reading, this project feels so not there....  I need to get with it!

Photoshop....Downloading...

Oh my!,... so many pictures to download,... and it does not happen quickly!  What a project with in a project...
