Day 15

Happy Valentines Day! I was about to give up on taking a themed photo today, then my brother started asking who wanted to play cards. So, this is what I came up with. In retrospect, I wish I would have used a black background to add drama, but I'll just have to try that next time.

Day 14

 I figured that since Valentines Day is tomorrow I should do some candy, flowers, etc. So yesterday we had flowers, so today is the candy. 

This is just a kind of fun series, demonstrating what happens when you leave chocolate laying around our house.

Day 13

This is a macro photo of some flowers I had gotten for my birthday ages ago. The flowers are really dried up, so to add some color I used the Orton effect. Sorry I took so long to post today,  I think I had photographer's block.

Day 12

Yesterday I went to the Iowa State Fairgrounds for the Iowa Beef Expo. This is the Livestock Pavilion. I added the Holga effect from picmonkey.com.

Day 11

To take this photo I was hanging upside down on a jungle gym.  I wanted to get a unique perspective.  The hardest thing was to hold still enough to get a picture. I had to take the picture pretty fast because the blood rushed to my head and I couldn't hold on for very long. (Click the picture to see it larger)

Day 10

I'm not sure how to describe this photo.  I placed my camera at the top of a slide to give the perspective of a little kid about to slide down.  I used a cross process effect.

Day 9

I went to a little park here in town yesterday.  I've really been loving the Lomo effect recently, and like how it kind of makes the colors pop out a little more than they would have.

Day 8

I've been experimenting with different effects. This one is called Orton. I like how it gives the ribbon an extra luster.

Day 7

This is a necklace of my sister's. I put the necklace on a piece of fabric and took some pictures.  When editing, I used an effect called Lomo on picmonkey.com, then made it black and white on the same site. 

Day 6

This is some yarn taken with the macro feature on my camera. (Click on the picture to see it bigger) I love how you can see individual fibers of the yarn, and I'm also a big fan of natural, directional light as displayed in this photo. Sorry I didn't post sooner today.  See you on Monday!
