Spring Fever

Spring Fever...will it ever come? I feel like a bear cooped up in my house, not being able to go outside and shoot.  I am having withdrawals, the need to press and focus on a subject.

Fall is here

Once again it's that time of season where the leaves fall, the grass turns that icky color and peoples moods change! Im tired of going to the park everyday, seeing the same scenery and the pictures are all the same. We went to go pick pumpkins and went in a hay maze this time. Much more fun for the kids and we all had a good time!

Ocupado

Keeping kids occupied is a stressful, exhausting but yet fun task...that is if you know how to do it! Today we painted...painted pumpkins (the original idea) but that also entailed painting our hands, face, chairs, floor and we even got to taste the paint!

Whoever created finger paints i would like to thank them, but on the other hand tell them i want a refund...MY CHAIR is RUINED!!! When it says WATERPROOF- i think they just put that on the label to make parents feel good!

RAW

OK, where to begin... today i felt like attempting to shoot in RAW. I here so many photographers talk about the advantages of shooting RAW and i was always so confused. I shoot manual, L, natural light blah-blah-blah...so today was a change of pace. I went to the park with my kids, had fun and captured alot of great shots...so i thought from what had appeared on my LCD screen. Got home to download, convert and save the pictures to a file and there were NO pictures. Right now I'm having a heart attack wondering why i have pictures on my camera but nothing to save...So i was reading my manual to my camera and in it stated that the camera came with this CD to download a program on your computer especially for RAW and RAW conversion. The angels started to sing, i was getting somewhere!

Long story short, downloaded the program, pictures appeared, started processing and converting RAW to JPEG...and what do you know... the select few that i liked that actually came out good where not so good when i saw them at full size...again my ISO was up to high. Grrrrrr i always forget to check that...Someone had once told me that practice makes perfect...I'm far from perfect!
