Day 183

July 2, 2011

     Today we retreated to the mountains.

Day 365

     Happy New Year's Eve!
     I wanted to get this one up in honor of the last day. I know I've been awful at keeping upon posting pictures every day, but my plan is to use the next 6 months to catch up on putting them up, so keep an eye out!
     I can't believe it's been a year! I hope I've improved! Thanks for sticking with me!

Day 110

Day 61

     Geez, who ever thought a year could be so long?! Only a couple months in, but feels like I've been working on this forever! And, I need to be better at posting the picture every day.
     Today I just walked. I didn't really focus on photography, but I had a nice time just walking around town, just me and my baby.

Day 51

     It sure is beautiful up here. Our dad took us on a wonderful drive through the mountains.

Day 39

     Every day I look at these mountains, see the trees dusted in snow. I want so badly to climb up. There's gotta be something magical there.

Day 10

     I don't know what's wrong with me. I am sick again, condemned to my bed for most of the day. Going to class was a poor decision, but also meant that I got to go outside to this.
     Every time I look at mountains with clouds hanging over them, I realized today that I always think of Ansel Adams. Of course you know who he is. He is the guy you think of anytime the subject of landscape photography is mentioned. But even he did some darkroom editing to create his famous mountain images. So I decided to give it a shot. Playing around with the dodge and burn tools, I found that there is a lot more freedom in an image. I'd used them before, but not so meticulously. These tools should be a photographer's best friend.
