It’s time for the Love Your Shot! | Link-Up over at Love that Shot! Come on over and share your favorite photo you took this week and tell us a little about how you took it or how you processed it.
Monday night, our little family went over to the park to play a fun game of Plants vs. Zombies! It’s quite a fun little game, especially for the little girls. It’s based off of a computer game that Aaron likes to play, and now Autumn likes to play it too. She came up with the idea of playing it out in real life over at the park! The object of the game is kill the zombies before they get you and eat your brains. Your weapons are vegetables and plants. My favorite is the pea shooters! We used balls and threw them at the “zombies.”
So on our way home, we spot this pretty little tree with these cute little seeds hanging from them. Autumn and Summer say they are their peas for their pea shooters! I had to take some pictures of them and was snapping away until Aaron told me to come over to where he was and look straight up. So I did and this is what I saw. Beautiful bokeh sparkles smiling at me! My tip is to look up. You might be surprised at what you find!
And here is a photo of the game in action! The girls LOVED it!
I’m writing a couple tutorials about how I took this shot and how I processed it… They’ll be up at OpenScrapbook this week!
I am so happy I’ve made it this far into Project 365! It has definitely been a challenge this winter to find things to photograph, I’m sure a flower girl! I love taking photos of flowers, but they’re pretty hard to come by in the winter! I decided to pull out my Inspiration List I created for a Project 365 article I wrote for OpenScrapbook. I closed my eyes and randomly pointed and I landed on “Secrets.” Hmm…secrets. It sounded a bit difficult but I made myself go with it! That was the whole point of choosing with my eyes closed! So I go outside and this is what I find! Those sneaky little nasty wasps! We just can’t get rid of them! I had no idea they were hiding in our pine tree! Isn’t it funny how things work out? I go looking for secrets and I find this! Well, they won’t be finding they’re hideout come spring… We’re knocking that thing out of there!
I processed my photo with my Simplicity Photo Veils. They’re going to be released at OpenScrapbook very, very soon! I have a couple samples included in my latest tutorial featured at I Heart Faces. Go try them out! You will LOVE them!!
Here is what I used on this photo:
Remember Me – Soft Light blending mode at 100 % opacity
Aurora – Soft Light blending mode at 45% opacity
Brave – Soft Light blending mode at 60% opacity
My final vintage camera that I ordered a couple weeks ago has finally arrived! Isn’t it so cute? I love the names they gave cameras back then… “Brownie Starflex,” “Brownie Holiday…” They’re so cute! I’m so excited to try out “Through-the-Viewfinder” photography now. I’ve got two cameras to experiment with, I just need to make the tube things to block out light. Hopefully I can get that made this week!
