Taking the Lead...

The challenge this week was to use leading lines. You use leading lines to draw the viewer's eye through the photograph. This is an especially powerful technique to draw the viewer's attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point.
I haven't really had time to go out to practice shooting this week but today we went for a walk at a greenway so a grabbed my camera hoping for some luck. I took around 300 pics, lol. Not just for leading lines...just having fun capturing memories. For most of the walk I was way behind my family because I stopped to look at anything and everything. Enough rambling, heres some of my favorites using leading lines...

What Do I Do With My Photos~Scrapbook, Of Course! My first love is scrapbooking. Take a peek...

Scrappy Side

A Little About Me & Photography

I have always enjoyed photography. As a young girl I remember driving my parents crazy always using the camera and begging them to pay extra for one hour processing. Thank goodness for digital. I love the instant gratification being able to see the photo instantly on the back of the camera. One day I made a cute little tutu and had my daughter model it for pictures. They were some of the best I had ever taken. As I looked over those photos I thought, "I want to learn more." Since then I have taken courses and joined photography groups for knowledge and support as I learn more about photography. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have patiently allowed me to practice on them. Thanks to my sister, Amy, who joins me in this learning journey. A big thank you to my sweet husband who supports and encourages me in all I do. There is so much satisfaction when I capture that perfect shot. I want to capture the everyday moments in a beautiful and creative way. I want to document the ordinary. Like the saying goes..."Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." I hope to record the little things with my photography. Little moments captured forever. It's like time in a bottle.
