I have been very good about posting my SOOC Saturday photos on my Lemons2Lemonade blog,
but not so much over here. Don't ask me why, it's not hard to click the
mouse a couple more times! At any rate, in an effort to catch up, here
are my SOOC Saturday postings:
SOOC Saturday: 11.07.09
Technically
this is a terrible picture given that it isn't what I wanted at all.
BUT it is one of those surprises I often find on the card when I upload
to my computer!
Yesterday was Chloé's final performance at
Appleby Theatre Arts camp.
She has loved her two weeks of camp and is already angling for a couple
more! The three arts camps (theatre, dance and visual arts) join to
present a play written by the children during the week at camp -
actually, the four days of camp since the performance is given on
Friday in the early afternoon. This week they worked with blacklight.
Hard to photograph, but lovely to watch!
SOOC Saturday: 05.07.09
There's
a spooky oak tree next door, spooky because it is very old, knarled and
poor Tom (neighbour) has spent a silly amount of money - his phrase, on
trying to save it. It makes for a great backdrop when we have a full
moon. Well, almost full, 98% as of 9:45 tonight.
SOOC Saturday: 27.06.09
We
had a wicked thunderstorm on Thursday. It shut off the electricity and
really freaked out the kids on their last day of school. It brought new
meaning to the phrase, "out with a bang!" This is the view out my front
stairwell looking to the street. It's exactly what I saw as I looked
out the window. Photos are so rarely exactly what we see!
What is
your SOOC for today? Let's see!
SOOC Saturday: 20.06.09
Lately I've been taking many photos of plants. They are the perfect subject for photo experimentation.
Why?
It
may be the joy of spring, the celebration of new life. Who am I
kidding? I love my flower friends because they don't give me goofy
faces, they stay still, they always put on a pretty face, they don't
fight, don't squint in the light. For photo practicing, I far prefer my
flora friends than my children!
In this case, I was attempting
to get a dark background, though you can see it's a very bright day for
the shot. It worked! It worked! At least, I think it did. What do you
think?
The First Post: SOOC Saturday 13.06.09
Other than cropping or possibly straightening the horizon using iPhoto,
there is no post-production on my photos. The reason for this is
two-fold: intimidation and lack of time. I was thrilled to find SOOC Saturday by way of Tracy Clark's My Best Shot Monday.
Every
once in a while I find a serendipitous photo on the card when I upload
onto the computer when I get home from events. I'm accomplished enough
that I know many things about photography; but, even when all is going
right you can end up with nothing. In this case it was a ton of people
in the way, temperamental natural light as well as a chain-link fence:
Claire
was called upon to pitch this week at the Burlington game vs Milton.
Her first time on the mound since last season. She was incredible.
Three up; three down; eight pitches. She is a really good baseball
player and a real contributor to her team. You can't ask for much more
than that. So proud of our girl.
Join in and let me see your Straight Out Of Camera shots!
(I've also been terrible posting My Best Shot Monday, I'll do a catch up ... on Monday!)
