What's new?

These signs are all over the province right now. There are soooo many jobs available, and it is having an impact on the services we receive! Big stores like Walmart and Tim Hortons have shortened their hours, due to lack of staff. It's crazy, we are booming like crazy, but not enough people are working. So here is a 'wanted' sign I came across today. My settings were 1/500 f/7.1 iso 200 I used Jess's B&W conversion, and cropped it a tad. CC welcome!

To everyone who left comments for me yesterday/today... thank you so much. The CC was helpful, and the nice comments lifted my spirits, so thanx again for visiting my blog, and taking time out of your day to leave me feedback :) Still feeling like I've lost my creativity, but I'm gonna keep at it, taking pictures is what I love to do. Have a great weekend!

Ugggh

My pictures are really missing that special OOMPH quality to them :( They are so blah..Here is a pretty borring sign I saw today, but really liked the structure it was attached to. I loved the wood bridge, but feel like I failed to capture the texture of it, and not sure how to really acheive that. My settings were ss 1/200 f/8 iso 100 shot in manual mode, and then i did some selective coloring, to draw the focus more on the sign. Seriously need some CC guys.......... I'm just not finding the creative angles I should. ALL and ANY CC is so appreciated here, and I can handle it! Thx for looking!

Nasty Roads........

This is what I hate most about winter, highway driving! I snapped these out our front (cracked) windshield on our way home from visiting our families. Nothing special, but wanted to share, and to remember these ugly winter roads! Thx for looking :) SOOC, and I really should have taken the time to crop these better.

Still Alive!

.......and still taking pictures too! I promise to update this by Wednesday :) In the meantime, a picture of the flowers hubby got me for Valentines and my Birthday...also a silly picture of Avery! I've been trying to create a © watermark that I really like, and have come up with NOTHING so far.. back to trying!

What IS this?

I bought it in a bag that said it was a plant. It's kinda spongy and sort of reminds me of a mushroom? So this is my POTD in keeping with theme :) Please tell me what you think it might be exactly!? Thx for stopping in, CC welcome (I just loaded it, and see the dark shadows or blue colors in the bottom right and top left corners...?) I'll try to get rid of that and repost, this is sooc

Settings: Manual mode, Window light, 1/40 ss, f/ 3.2 ISO 400 - SOOC

A week already!!

I know, i'm doing terrible at this photo A DAY thing!! Believe me, I do take a picture every day.... I just don't always get the chance to come post. I feel guilty if I come post and don't have time to look around too! And having a hard time staying on theme too! Sorry!!! So here goes..... a few of my DD this week. We took away her soother *finallY* she is 2 1/2 now...and it was time. It's been tough for her, but day 5 now, and she's been doing awesome :) She's also the lipgloss queen...always has 2 or 3 with her! (I know, I'm gonna have my hands full with her! lol)

I had to throw in a few b&w ones too! lol.....trust me, if I let her, she'd put lip gloss on *all* day! She even takes it with her to bed!!

and here's my attempt at backlighting.....is that right? Kinda? I need to read more about it, and I should have cropped this one better....

Thx for stopping in!! :)
