Came home the other day to find that the tree in the yard was a hotbed of activity. Lots of big bees and a butterfly enjoying the flowers. (I'm not a huge gardening expert and I don't even know what kind of tree this is...). I grabbed my camera and took shots, but by the time I was able to go and switch to my zoom lens, the butterfly was off to other gardens :( though I have this shot to share (and thank goodness for digital photo editing software that lets you crop in closely!).
Will definitely have to take some time and get some of the shots scrapbooked!
If you are looking for some "me" time to do some scrapbooking or cardmaking, please consider joining one my Stampers & Scrappers Club. Our next session starts in September...contact me to reserve your spot. I'll also have some sign up lists at my Open House on Saturday July 3rd.
It's that time of year - carving the pumpkin, finding and/or creating the perfect costume....not eating all the Hallowe'en candy before October 31st...LOL. A great time for photo taking, too!!
Found some sites for Hallowe'en photography tips HERE and HERE. I like the reminder to be IN as many photos as possible - too often the photographer gets "left out" of the pics (speaking from experience). This is often not discovered until said photographer is then trying to scrapbook the event/photos, and realizes that they have none of themselves. I have a whack of pictures from our trip to Disneyland and I think I appear in two of them.
Another great tip - even if you're not thrilled with how you are appearing these days (and let's face it, we're usually our own worst critics) - it's still good to be in the photos. One friend pointed out that up until a while ago, the only photos of her showed her hiding behind her hand. Not very memorable for herself or for her family (nor very scrapbook-worthy LOL).
In the meantime, I share with you a photo from a few years ago. Remember - even if your photo isn't technically perfect, it can still capture the moment and the memories! I like to take photos in the same spot each year to show the changes and growth. The little ghost here is definitely a bit bigger now! All right - back to the jobs at hand....now where did I put the rest of that candy??!!
