Macro Photography with a Point & Shoot

I really enjoy the Macro challenges that are being hosted at Gotta Pixel by Stacy Carlson. It's something I've never done before and learning new things, particularly at my age, is invigorating. Here's my latest photo of, of all things, frozen meatballs. I am amazed at the detail I can get with my camera, a Kodak M530, point and shoot.

Week 2 of Project 52....

....and I'm still in! This week we were to learn about the Rule of Thirds for taking our photos. Here's my photograph, no layout, just the photo.

Hey, Tiff, here's the front page completed!

Only about 50 more to go before the album is finished.

Australia - Day 2

I couldn't resist!

Andrew put this picture on FB and I had to download it and use it in a layout.

I really want to thank designer Amanda. It was a freebie from her blog, Designs by Amanda. There are so many generous designers in digi-land and a huge thanks to all of them for making it easy for me to scrap. You designers rock!

Speed Scrap with Connie @ Gotta Pixel

The first speed scrap of the year produced this layout.

The family gathered together on Dec. 5th at Andrew & Sheena's house to trim the tree and have a sort of Christmas dinner with Tiffany before she left for her trip to Australia. Part of that day included trimming the tree with the kids. Well, it appears that Ava and Jack trimmed themselves instead!

P52 Project

I failed miserably at P365 last year, however, I am going to attempt the P52 project at Gotta Pixel this year. Maybe having to take only one picture a week will be more attainable for me. Besides, Andrew (my son) gave me a new camera for Christmas and I want to really learn how to use it. Today I actually changed the settings and was able to take this black and white photo. Geez, I remember the days when B & W was the only thing available....and we had to wait until the roll of 12 pictures was complete before sending it off to be developed!! I've taken about 15 pictures today until I was happy with this one.

Scrap, Chat, Etc. with Danyale

This is going to be a bi-monthly chat (I think) and Jan 1st was #1. Danyale did a terrific job and there was lots of chatting going on, to be sure. Amongst all the chatter were five prompts and we had to chose a number between 1 & 5. I chose #3 and the prompt was: "My love for......got me......." and we were required to fill in the blanks. This is what I came to my mind.

First Gotta Pixel Challenge of 2011!

Gotta Pixel has had a makeover and is looking fantastic. Along with the new look are some new types of challenges. Today I'm doing the Ditch the Pic! challenge hosted by Victoria Feemster. It really is a challenge for me to create a layout with NO PICTURE! And me with a new camera for Christmas....go figure.

Next on my list of Things To Do is makeover my blog because Christmas is done! Back soon with a new header to reflect the New Year.
