Day 351

Day 351- Orchid

When it comes to needing a good picture, flower photos are kind of a cop out...they are easy.  With the right lighting, all you have to do is set a wide aperture and snap away and you will almost always get beautiful results.  This is not based on the composition or technique, but mainly because the subject itself is beautiful.  Because of this, I have tried to avoid flowers (as much as possible) for my photo blog. However, sometimes you cant avoid it.  When a new orchid blooms after looking like a dead stick for 6 months, its hard not to be in awe its beauty and snap a photo.  And by Day 351, I think easy photos are allowed!

Day 348

Day 348- Ladybugs!

This morning I went to a nearby hardware store and bought a bag of ladybugs.  I carefully emptied them into a vase placed it in the center of my classroom.  My students loved watching them!  After two days in the vase we released them outdoors to live their little ladybug lives.

Day 342

 Day 342- Shiny Lights

For the past week I have left my little Nifty Fifty Lens on my camera almost the entire time.  I highly suggest this Canon lens to everyone out there.  It is a very affordable prime 50mm f/1.8 lens.  It takes great photos and gives you some beautiful bokeh!  The above photo is of an ordinary light fixture in my house, but with the right composition and settings it makes it a little more interesting.

Day 341

Day 341- A Sleepy Photo

Today I got into bed, got all cozy under the covers then realized I hadn't taken a photo of the day!  I  dragged myself out of bed and knew I didn't have much to work with late at night.  I went outside and took a picture of some new little sprouts in one of my pots on the patio.  By using a high ISO (3200), a wide aperture (f/2.2), and a slow shutter speed (1/25th of a second),  I am able to capture this photo without a flash in a pretty dark area.  This photo is definitely not my best work, but this is as good as it gets from a half asleep photographer late at night...
