Nikon D80, Natural Light, 6mm, 1/80sec F3.3 ISO 100

This is strange to me. It shouldn't be this cold at this time in the morning, here in LA county. At least I think so. Maybe I never noticed it before if it happened in the past. We are having some freaky weather!

I know what day it is, but this was taken that night. I am trying to catch up, I take the photo and upload to my pc when I have a little more time and patience! These are some pills I take. I shoulda take 3 a day, but I always forget the midday one.

Nikon D80, SB-800, 60mm, 1/200sec F/6.3

Ack, I just saw my settings, very very bad, I had the Hue at minus 9. Oh well, try again tomorrow. This is a Tangelo, yep you guessed it a tangerine/orange. They are not very sweet. Hopefully tomorrow's shot will be better. Thanks for looking.

Nikon D80 alien bees, 60mm, 1/80 sec, F/11 ISO 100

My dad gave me these roses for my Birthday. It is a pretty flower arrangement. I could not get the color right, they looked pink in my screen. Thanks to PS they are back to a peach color.

Ack, not even a week and I already missed two days! These are indoor tulips bulbs. My sister gave them to me for my birthday. They are in a huge glass "jar." They just need water and some light to grow. Hopefully they will grow into beautiful flowers. I will take more shots of them as the days go by.

Scrap Page #01

Nikon D80, SB-800, 26mm, 1/80 sec, F/9

I am really bad at taking photos of photos. I just can't get it right, even with PS editing. Here is the page we came up with. It's a little busy, I know, Ajul wanted to use as many "jewels" as possible. This is the first "real" scrap page I have ever put together..Ok me and Ajul did it. It was fun, but I doubt I will make a hobby out of this. Way too expensive! I'll stick to taking the photos and Digi-scrapping when in the mood. From left to write, first quote says: "Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse."-Robert A Helien. Second one says: "Precious jewel, you glow, you shine, reflecting all the good things in the world."-Maya Angelou

Does this page describe Ajul? Well...it has lots of pink..lol. I don't know, but it's all we could come up with, the photos did not leave much room for words..ooh and I am very very bad a journaling.

Mac and Cheese

Nikon D80, Alien Bees, 50mm, 1/200 sec F/13

Ajul has to work on a scrapbook page for her class. It should be about her. One of her favorite foods is mac and cheese, what better way to show this then with a photo. Gave me a chance to practice with my lights, it's not every day that she is willing to let me take her picture, oh and yes I had to make the mac and cheese. I'm so glad for Easy Mac, lmao as if regular M&C is difficult to prepare.

Ajul

Nikon D80, 50 mm, ISO 200, 1/400 sec F/1.8. Vignette added in PS.
Ajul is my middle child. She loves her dress up clothes. For once I made it home before sun down and I was able to spend some time outside with the girls. Cue was inside with his homework. Nice day.
