Good news, my class was only two days long so this will be my last post about it. I know, it’s going to break your heart. It’s so exciting to see my experiments. I am doing it for you, to enhance my blog photos. The torture will be worth it someday? I hope! Day 2 […]
Assignment #1 White Balance. Ummm, teacher, what in the heck is white balance? Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions with different color temperatures. A digital camera needs to find a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate all the other colors based on this white point. For instance, if a halogen light […]
I had the unique opportunity to take a digital photography class at our local museum the C.M. Russell Museum. According to their website “The mission of the C.M. Russell Museum is to collect, preserve, research, interpret and educate on the art and life of Charles M. Russell; the art and life of his contemporaries; and […]
When I first started my blog, I didn’t have a camera. My nice point and shoot (also somewhat expensive, but not over the top) camera had broken the year prior. I was really upset and didn’t replace it. So I used the Baby boy’s cheap-o Kodak, for a while. I knew straight away that it wasn’t […]
Something about this time of year makes me yearn, crave salads. Every kind, lettuce, pasta, fruit, cabbage and potato. No salad says summertime more than the classic potato salad. There are as many versions as there is, well I’m not exactly sure what to compare it to, but there is a lot of potato salad […]
It’s been about a week and half since I had to whip together a menu for going up to the cabin. I promised that I would post the Arnold Palmer drink that I made. I had planned on doing it earlier but the issue is, it’s the Baby boy’s absolutely favoritist drink and he was […]
Last Saturday I missed the first day of the Farmer’s Market because we were up at the cabin. McGyver headed up again to take what will be our bathroom (shower, sink and other stuff) for our neighbor to install. I decided to stay back because I just couldn’t bear to miss going to the market. […]
We found out last Wednesday that the roads were clear up to our cabin and our “outside” contractor had finished up his work from last summer. The Baby boy was also away on a float trip down the Smith River so McGyver thought we should head up and “cabin camp” overnight. I was excited to […]
The wedding day! It was a perfect spring day in Las Vegas (view from the bride’s room). The bride was obviously very happy (ok, maybe a little nervous too). Her ladies in waiting (not-sister and soon to be sister in law). And the dress, oh the dress, the perfectly simple, perfectly beautiful dress! Beautiful accessories! This […]
The day before the big event. What a busy day, as mother of the bride I found myself being a coordinator, ever try herding cats (Herding Cats on You Tube)? That’s what my day felt like. Trying to get a group together is never easy especially after a bachelorette/bachelor party night and traveling the day […]
