This little man has not only stolen the hearts of Dad and Mom but everyone else around him! Especially me since my grandbaby is in Japan it helps my heart to give him hugs and kisses. His smile will light up a room, but for this day he was making us work hard for a smile. I guess he is getting to that age where he want be so easily impressed with what we are trying to do!lol Except when his momo is around! Whom i might add was not allowed to come for this picture taking event because he only wants her!
<br />Head on over to iheartfaces for this new contest and you will surely see lots of beautiful faces with hearts added!

<br />Iheartfaces is having a best face photo contest.
<br />I love this photo of my daughter~cold outside and she really wanted me to come out and play with her. I was so busy sewing i couldn't go but had to grab my camera and snap a few pics. She has had a toothless grin for so long kinda sad to see those teeth coming in.

I love photography, have for as long as I can remember.  Started in high school when my father bought me an Olympus film camera. I have always been avid about learning everything there is to know no matter what it is, the dish washer in my house, monogram machine, computer or camera.  I have watched dvd’s, youtube videos, read books, tutorials, etc… Anything I can get my hands on to learn everything there is to know about digital.  I even have and am watching the D700 video in hopes of upgrading from my D80 next year!  Sometimes I w0nder if maybe I’m too old, things sometimes just don’t want to stick in the brain! I feel I need more hands on classes, to be challenged more.  </p> <p>My main goal is to be able to photograph events at our church.  The D80 has limits on ISO settings so I’m never really happy with how the pictures come out. I love this one from our sign team signing to Ten Thousand Angels.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYJ_AwglI/AAAAAAAAAUI/yoksK0P4Sp0/s1600-h/DSC_8011%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC_8011" border="0" alt="DSC_8011" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYKQPS29I/AAAAAAAAAUM/MVMKhoaf3iI/DSC_8011_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="362" height="243" /></a> </p> <p>I have asked a few friends to write for me.</p> <p> </p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">Claudia wrote:'</font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">When I think of inspiration how can I not be inspired! </font></em><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">Her mother died with leukemia when she was 32 years old. </font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">At a time when she should start to be able to take it somewhat easy in this life, things change. Her children are older and almost out of school and she starts all over.  An acquaintance, with a history of drug addiction, is pregnant and comes to her wanting to giver her child to Melissa to raise.  She opens her heart and home to a new life.  This child was born premature and addicted to methadone.  Melissa had to deal with everything that goes along with that, which is alot.  Then in the mix of that she is now taking care of her sister who has down syndrome.  She is living in her home with them.  Just dealing with all that goes with her sister, would be more than the normal person could handle.  </font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">So she has a 7 year old , a 39 year old sister with down syndrome, a 20 yr old daughter who has recently moved back home, a 25 yr old son that is in the Marines stationed in California with her first grandbaby!!, and a full time job! She finds the time to tend to everyone and give that special attention to all, with not alot of help.  So inspiring to others, she definitely is.  She makes others want to do more, and be a better person.</font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">Chotsie wrote:</font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">Melissa loves with all her heart.    </font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">She serves God in church and in her daily actions.  She is a prayer warrior. Constantly thinking of and doing for others. Paying attention to other’s needs and desires and does special things for them that actually means something to them. Melissa lives her life in a caring and giving manner as to inspire others to do the same. She lives a life that praises  God, that is inspiring!</font></em></p> <p><em><font face="Lucida Handwriting">I believe her photography journey is her outlet, the one thing she does for herself, but shares it with others. She takes photos of people as a way to brighten their day by sharing those photos with them.</font></em></p> <p><em>Having the opportunity to attend Amy Wenzel’s workshop would definitely  push my level of photography up to a whole new level!</em></p> <p><em>Melissa</em></p> <p><em>A Wife, Mother, Sister, Gama, Meme with a DSLR</em></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYKsFnrVI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/tdzBWxMDsOQ/s1600-h/DSC_9373%20copy%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC_9373 copy" border="0" alt="DSC_9373 copy" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYLKrrfOI/AAAAAAAAAUU/fmLGalQR6jw/DSC_9373%20copy_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="230" height="244" /></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYLdCx3PI/AAAAAAAAAUY/qnvRLw3PekI/s1600-h/contest%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="contest" border="0" alt="contest" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYMBkW-yI/AAAAAAAAAUc/w6leDo9t9ME/contest_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="323" height="218" /></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYMSO_qPI/AAAAAAAAAUg/JSdI9dUfXJ0/s1600-h/DSC_7038a%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC_7038a" border="0" alt="DSC_7038a" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYMjCe04I/AAAAAAAAAUk/LCZVrq5l73M/DSC_7038a_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="284" height="192" /></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYNJ3wF9I/AAAAAAAAAUo/dfeLcqY8N5M/s1600-h/DSC_7330%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC_7330" border="0" alt="DSC_7330" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYNYz-TVI/AAAAAAAAAUs/NVxSC2dAgX0/DSC_7330_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="396" height="267" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bit.ly/95o58E"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="WorkshopGiveaway_thumb[1]" border="0" alt="WorkshopGiveaway_thumb[1]" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S6EYN8qlBTI/AAAAAAAAAUw/_nmhzEDWeTE/WorkshopGiveaway_thumb%5B1%5D%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="154" height="210" /></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">a target=”_blank” <a href=”http://www.digitalphotographyformoms.net/”

Hard to decide on what to photograph today. I knew I had some monograming to do so I figured why not practice on my machine? I it white, sorta off white, but I knew it would be a good starting point for me. Set ISO to 400, metered off of my gray card to set wb then metered on gray card to zero. Still felt I was underexposing after several tries. I decided to set ev to -7 and was happier with the histogram after that. I tried different types of porcessing to see which I would be happy with. I think one was way too bright. Will take a look at them again to see if maybe I should have tried a different route.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S4yEjH1bZrI/AAAAAAAAASQ/d9FjLLQjhiY/s1600-h/tag%5B9%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="tag" border="0" alt="tag" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S4yEjhWPzkI/AAAAAAAAASU/RGaNGuqgykk/tag_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="190" height="250" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S4yEkc3xNcI/AAAAAAAAASY/MWBB-VKsv1k/s1600-h/Untitled-1%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Untitled-1" border="0" alt="Untitled-1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S4yElbGeQoI/AAAAAAAAASc/0mCSjl9qFWc/Untitled-1_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="479" height="598" /></a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer">a target=”_blank” <a href=”http://www.digitalphotographyformoms.net/”

Since March 1st is Monday and they are kinda hectic I dediced to take my sister out today and practice. She held my grey card and would hold it up to her face for me. After setting the white balance I metered off the grey card then started taking pictures. We moved around alot because I wanted to see the affect the morning sun had in different areas of the yard. My aha moment was when I metered off of her face and remembered when I metered off the grey card she was 2 stops to the left. So many things to pay attention to. </p> <p>I was also using my 85mm which I don't use very often because I have to move my feet instead of being able to just zoom in and out. I tend to miss focus alot also with it. I concentrated very hard in making sure I focused on her eyes. This photo was behind a little shed that I nearly burned down this summer, burning the field!lol The sun was behind her up high but had trees blocking most of the bright light.  I have lots more to go thru from today and will post later.</p> <p></p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S4rqpIXmU0I/AAAAAAAAASI/cmdS1P8G_l8/s1600-h/DSC_9606%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC_9606" border="0" alt="DSC_9606" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S4rqrdf_tcI/AAAAAAAAASM/pmFDMAUbHMQ/DSC_9606_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="853" height="573" /></a> <div class="blogger-post-footer">a target=”_blank” <a href=”http://www.digitalphotographyformoms.net/”

She loves to cook, so today we enjoyed a delicious meal made from the recipe in the Pioneer Womans Cookbook. <br />One of the things she got for her birthday and now has become addicted to reading! <br /> <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YGCGuAsNI/AAAAAAAAAPA/BsouURxRolI/s1600-h/maghins+lunch-6.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YGCGuAsNI/AAAAAAAAAPA/BsouURxRolI/s400/maghins+lunch-6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433036633702183122" /></a><br />Ruthie entertained Chad by reading to him while Maghin cooked. <br />I must say he did peel the potatoes first before playing! <br />Chad spent the night in our camper so he could be here today to go to church with us and enjoy Maghins cooking! After being together for so long I'm sure they are finding it hard to be apart.<br /><br />We enjoyed chicken fried steak, creamy mashed potatoes, bisquits and field peas! yum yum. <br />I must say Maghin is a messy cook like me and there was dirty pots and flour everywhere! It didn't take long to clean up though!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YXKty0RsI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/gRd-Wn0WtVs/s1600-h/maghins+lunch-8.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YXKty0RsI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/gRd-Wn0WtVs/s400/maghins+lunch-8.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433055473327949506" /></a><br />yum sizzling in the pot...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YJ7nbvyyI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/1JUSENjbJhI/s1600-h/maghins+lunch-9.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YJ7nbvyyI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/1JUSENjbJhI/s400/maghins+lunch-9.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433040920271375138" /></a><br />more reading for Chad<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YJ8GJYBmI/AAAAAAAAAPY/a-FgrJFM7g8/s1600-h/maghins+lunch-10.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YJ8GJYBmI/AAAAAAAAAPY/a-FgrJFM7g8/s400/maghins+lunch-10.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433040928515819106" /></a><br />gravy and mashed potatoes are done<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YJ8XYi3sI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Jr1MQAVjpFY/s1600-h/maghins+lunch-11.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YJ8XYi3sI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Jr1MQAVjpFY/s400/maghins+lunch-11.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433040933142847170" /></a><br />I forgot we had macaroni also! The plate was overflowing!<br /><br />Of course Ruthie got fussed at a zillion times. I finally asked Maghin if she realized how many times she had fussed at her! She thinks Ruthie is spoiled!lol She says they never sat at the table but had to go play until the adults ate!ha <br />I told her the only thing we did was get the fire extinguisher out to put the flames out that were coming out of her hair!<br />(moody, very moody) and spoiled I might add!<br /><br />Since she cooked I cleaned up..but then when I cook I clean also! <br />Something wrong there!lol<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YMrh1qyMI/AAAAAAAAAPo/pX4MPE-lUKw/s1600-h/maghins+lunch-16.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FEtMJidIvYs/S2YMrh1qyMI/AAAAAAAAAPo/pX4MPE-lUKw/s400/maghins+lunch-16.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433043942426462402" /></a><br />Maghin sat down to enjoy reading Pioneer Womans blog! Laughing at all the stories she has written about charlie her basset hound.<br /> It will be interesting to see whose nerves are stepped on the most! Ruthie will talk even when no one is around to listen! Now I will have Ruthie and Maghin trying to tell me something! I guess this would be a time to say "Pray chruch, Pray"!lol<div class="blogger-post-footer">a target=”_blank” <a href=”http://www.digitalphotographyformoms.net/”
