Sleep, Clean, or Play?
Last Saturday, Paul and his friend Chad took the girls (Addie and Cady) to the zoo. That meant one of three things for me: sleep, clean, or play. I opted to play. I haven't done much photographing since the beach, and this was the perfect opportunity!
I headed to Southern Homes and Gardens. To say this place is beautiful is an understatement. The only thing that would make it better is if it wasn't immediately off a major highway. I can overlook that.
Thinking back, I didn't get half the pictures I'd liked to have taken. I seem to be in the habit of taking pictures in my mind and forgetting to follow through with the camera! Maybe that's because I often times can't take the pictures I see because I have a toddler. Maybe it's because I'm a tad ADD. Maybe it's because I'm too much of a perfectionist. No matter the reason, I'll have to work on it!
Here are a few from my morning and a few from our front yard the night before:
50mm 1.4 lens, ISO 100, f/2.2, 1/500
I saw this...and thought it was beautiful.
And then I saw this: one of the largest spiders I've ever seen. It sat completely still as it consumed its prey. It seemed pretty...ok, pretty amazing but not pretty...so I took the chance to snap a few pictures of it.
50mm 1.4 lens, ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/400
Have I mentioned that I hate spiders about as much as I hate roaches? No? Well I do! But I also can't resist a great shot...whether I capture it well or not!
I took these the night before in our front yard, where my sweet husband kept tabs on our toddler! After accidentally capturing an image with beautiful bokeh, I've been working hard on the concept.
