52 of 2013 - Week 31

52 of 2013 - Week 31. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Back to Basics: ISO'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Frame Within a Frame'. Okay, well I didn't manage either of these themes. But here is Spectra Vondergeist from Monster High. Because she's cool.

52 of 2013 - Week 30

52 of 2013 - Week 30. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Spot Metering'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Filling the Frame'. I didn't take this shot in July. I think it was September or October. I rock the deadlines! Actually, I think I used this photo for Taking Better Photos Indoors, which will show up in several weeks. Ah well, I don't care. It fills the frame and used some kind of metering, so I'm using it. It's a crystal glass full of ice water, lit from behind by a window on a mostly cloudy day.

52 of 2013 - Week 29

52 of 2013 - Week 29. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Breaking the Rules: Overexposure'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'My Town Photo Essay'. Nope. But here's another picture of Tibboh the Terrible. I likely overexposed the window, so that might qualify.

52 of 2013 - Week 28

52 of 2013 - Week 28. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Aperature'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Photographing Strangers'.  And I didn't do either.  So here is a shot of Weeb and her older sister and a good Photobomb by Tibboh the Terrible.

52 of 2013 - Week 27

52 of 2013 - Week 27. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Photographing Color: Red, White and Blue'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'National Pride'.  The first shot is of a Maple Leaf pin - you can get these in any tourist area in Canada.  My husband got this particular one when he was sworn in as a Canadian Citizen, last autumn. Next are some shots of my Weeb.  The bottom two shots were taken at a Canada Day festival, from the top of a Ferris Wheel, with my iPhone.  I couldn't see what I was photographing as the sun glare was blinding.  They turned out pretty well.  And it occurred to me a tad too late that, oh yeah, I don't like Ferris Wheels.  We wore Canada Day shirts and ponytails with maple leafs on them to celebrate the day.  We had some blue cotton candy as a tribute to the blue part of the red, white and blue to honor our southern neighbors in the USA.  Today though, it's all red and white for us!  O Canada, we party at an outdoor fair on the hottest day of the year for thee!
