Personal Note: from now on take telephoto lens to zoo so I can get cooler pictures. :)

50 & 51

So instead of taking a break from painting to do laundry, I decided it was time to take some photos. So here are my sweet girls.

49

This one is from a little while ago. Practicing aperture. Getting the crumbs from my daughter's first doughnut.

47&48

Josie and her cousin Jordan

1st birthday

So I finally added some pics!

I took these in raw and thought they looked a little blurry. Maybe my other settings were off. I'll have to keep messin' around with my camera.

45 & 46

43 & 44

41 & 42

"Forgotten"

"Among the Thorns"

I've adjusted the lighting a little bit on these pictures. I softened it to make the white statuettes' features a little more visible.

Hope y'all don't mind I keep posting things from my trip. It was so much fun to take pictures of things I don't see everyday. And it gives me something other than baby hands to post! :)

39 & 40

She looked so cute riding down this sidewalk for the first time without training wheels. But by the time I got my camera out of the stroller she was off the bike. And then every kid in the park must have seen me with my camera because shortly after this there were about 5 kids in each shot.

I guess that's my excuse for not getting the picture I wanted.

29

Ok, I didn't take this photo. It was on my card when I downloaded. But I thought it was cute, so I cropped it and fixed the color and called it mine.

28

You give me fever....

Fashion Statement

Day (or should I say picture) 25

Party time

I'm still trying to get a picture a day. But it's not always working. Do I want to work for 100 pictures or end this in 100 days?

Day 24

"No more pictures!"

After I took this, I realized my ISO was still set at 1600. I changed it so hopefully from here on out there will be less noise. (Hey....too bad there's not an ISO setting for my house...I could use some less noise.

Day 23

"Lil' sneak"

Day 22

"Once Upon A Time...."

So what's causing the graininess in my photos? I need to lower the ISO? I'll have to do some expirementing on a non-moving subject.

Day 21

I know...more pics of my baby. But really, pictures of my kids is what I really want to get better at.

Day 20

"For Shorty"

They're the shoes the balloon clown lady was wearing at Lake Wilderness Easter Egg Hunt.

Day 19

"Tasting dirt"

Day 18

Somehow bathtime always turns into "see what we can balance on Josie's head" time. This is a duck that lights up when water touches it. (Which is cool at bathtime but freaky when you're up at 2:00am and there's a glowing light show coming from the kids bathtub.)

Day 17

"Possibilities"

I'm pretty sure this was in Av mode set at 5.6. It seems to be what my camera will work best at.

I'm glad you mentioned those other shots Sarah. I had taken them (about 30 total) and had a hard time picking which to post. I'd love to know what you think of the other angles.

Personally, this last one is my favorite.
