Manic Monday

Filed Under: Photography

A few photos from the “photo walk” around my yard yesterday. I posted about our whole day yesterday

Kim Klassen Café  blueberry craft and hobby time

SOOC for Shoot & Edit

The sky is the limit for these bubbles. Okay maybe a long stretch but the shot is cute.

I edited a few more photos from this session. I love this one.

    I absolutely love the lighting in the last shot. It is so gorgeous! If you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism (as inspired by Michelle), in your SOOC shot, I would have placed them closer to one side and perhaps asked them to move back or forward so that they are all entirely in the light from the sunset or not. (Who knows whether that would have been possible or not?) Regardless, I love their expressions and body language and how you captured the bubbles floating out. :)

    The creature is one odd looking little dude! lol. The family blowing bubbles - fun!!

    This set is just gorgeous! I agree, sky's the limit for those bubbles and of course the fun that you guys had.
    • NapTime MomTog says

    July 11, 2011 at 11:02 pm

    Sarah! Love the idea of a photo walk around your yard! :) Looks like some beautiful shots! I'm almost envious of the window shot... would love to capture one like it, but never like mine! :) haha! I have those same impatients on my deck... but my shots of them don't look as sweet as yours either! ugh! lol!! Your sooc is beautiful! :) For cc... I'm not sure what you could have done differently in camera to improve it, If you shot it a bit darker then you would have had to lighten up the people in pp possibly... but the sky would have had more depth of color possibly. :) But I really like it anyway! :)
    • NapTime MomTog says

      July 11, 2011 at 11:26 pm

      Aww. Thank you Michelle. That is the window in our barn/shed. It needs painting. ha ha. Thanks for your sweet words.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷
