Photo 101

Now this is gonna be good. Me explaining how a picture was taken.

Many of you have wanted to know how these pictures were taken.

Well its pretty simple. You might not even believe me when I tell you.

• Have your subject get on their knees
• Stand over the top of them with them looking up
• get as close as you can without them going out of focus
• snap the picture

Told ya easy

Now the difficult part is this

Keeping younger sister from putting her fingers into the shot

Keeping your feet out of the shot

Keeping younger sister from crawling into shot with you

and then messing your hair up

And again keep younger sister from messing with your hair, and then having the other younger sister (me), wait until older sister is ready. :)

If you need to and your subjects are being difficult...

Pop them in the head to get them in line....

Two other tips to make your big head little body photo shoot go well are these...

• Make sure there knees are in the picture
• shoot on a solid surface (green grass works best)

The camera used was a Nikon D80 with the smaller of my lenses, I do not know what the name of the lens is. Its a standard lens, maybe its the 18-135mm (Lisa says 18-55)???? I also have my camera on auto ALL the time. I know, I know I am hearing the gasps now, but I don't know all the settings, and frankly when I try to learn them it just overwhelms me. :(

So go try it out this weekend. Then I want to see what you come up with. :)

Blah

 

Do you ever get the blahs?  I have them right now. :|

 

I feel like so much is going on and not enough time to do them.  To many things running around in my head, and I can't grab hold of any one of them.  Its like trying to jump on a merry-go-round, but it wont slow down long enough for you to get on.

I really feel like just covering up my ears and saying la la la la la la la la...........

~sigh~

Maybe tomorrow when I wake up the blahs will be gone.  I hope so, cause I got a lot to do and think about and I don't have time for blahs. 

 

 

Can you say ewwwww!!!!!

 

 

Picture it......

Morning, everyone is still groggy and grumpy.  Little Logan is being difficult and still just wants to lay down for two more minutes.  Being the good mother I am I ask him if he wants his cinnamon life in a ziplock bag to go.   Many screams of no I don't want that, I want a pop-tart.  So off into the kitchen I go to send him off to school with his delicious and nutritious Pop-Tart. (Attention Big Wigs at Pop-Tarts, I will take Pop-Tarts if you want to send them my way seeing as my children live off of them.)

That's when it happened I stopped dead in my tracks and screamed a silent scream.........

I backed up slowly and ran to get my Father-in-Law, who thank you Lord, takes Logan to school in the morning.  He comes into the kitchen to find one of these.....

 

 

Upside down, with one of these

Walking from my pantry with the glue thing on his back!  Thank goodness it slowed him down. (shudder)

Now I know that I am probably gonna get all sorts of comments about a glue trap being inhumane, but these little critters contain all sorts of germs and diseases.  I think its probably pretty inhumane to let them run all over my pantry and walk on my food!  So my father-in-law took him outside.  I don't know what happened to the little beady eyed thing after he left my house, but thank goodness he is out of my house.  Now I need to go home and clean all the tops of my canned food and check out any bag of food that was not in its proper Rubbermaid container.  

Also I might need to get me another tomcat to go outside.  That would pretty humane don't you think?

 

Silly boy and girl, I mean young lady!

 

 

Its that time of the week, its time for I heart faces!!!!!

The theme is silly!

So I think these are pretty silly :)
