Day 303; A Series of Fog

This morning I woke up to an incredibly thick, very eerie looking fog. I didn't have my camera on hand, so I snapped a few photos with my phone. I couldn't really pick a favorite, and I didn't end up having time to edit them today, so I'm sharing this series of raw images. I noticed, especially in this third picture, that these shots were pretty grainy, and didn't look nearly as cool as what I had seen with my own eyes, but I'm still pretty happy with them.

Day 284; Barren Lane

I haven't posted any color photos recently. This one is of my grandpa's lane. I used the Dusk effect from picmonkey.com to enhance the present brown colors.

Day 270; Color on Campus

Yesterday I was in Chicago visiting the University of Chicago campus. I can't beleive I'll be heading off to college in just a couple years! UChicago is beautiful, and I could definitely see myself going there. This path was through one of the many little parks on campus and was quite charming. I didn't do much editing since I loved the warm fall colors already present.

Day 114

Today's photo I took while lying on the ground looking down our lane. I wanted to get the texture and shapes of the rocks, and the lines drawing your eye back into the photo down the lane. I applied a slight Dusk effect to give it more warmth of color.

Day 111

This morning we got quite a bit of rain. I went out to get some early morning shots, and found myself continually drawn to my mom's tiger lillies. I loved the reflective quality of the water droplets and the bright orange color of the flower.

Day 101

Today I'm going to post another photo that I took while I was walking around the lake yesterday. This one reminded me of a path from a fairytale book. To enhance this idea, I softened the photo, then added light edges that I faded quite a bit.

Day 89

Sorry I didn't post anything last Friday, I was out at my grandpa's house all day. While I was there I did take this photo of the path he takes on his tractor to feed cattle and such. I liked the textural contrast between the grass and the mud, as well as the lighting.

Day 56

The other day my brother was outside playing, and I thought I would take some photos of him before he noticed me. I added the dusk effect to create that older look.

Day 51

I took this photo of this old trailer by my grandpa's lane yesterday afternoon. I made the photo black and white then added the dark edges on picmonkey.com.

Day 29

To remind myself of warmer times, I've brought out this photo of my Grandpa's lane taken when the snow was melting. It's supposed to get warmer here later this week, so hopefully it will stay that way.

Day 25

Today my family was snowed in for a few hours after my dad's car got stuck in the lane. That was awful and all, but while we were pushing him out I got this photo of a pine tree next to our lane.  So maybe it wasn't all bad.

Day 21

Yesterday we got 4 or 5 inches of snow. I went out while it was still coming down to try to get a good one for today's post. I actually didn't have too much luck. This was my favorite.
