O.k., I will admit ... I am not ready for fall/winter. I love spring and summer. So I am rebelling and posting a summer picture. :) My goal in taking this picture was to capture not only the flip flops, but the sand and beach as well. Ahhhh ... I am in my happy place. ;) I focused my camera on my flip flops and I set my apertuer to f/22 to help keep it all in focus. If I had set my aperture at f/7 the sand and water would have been so blurry that you probably wouldn't have been able to tell where I was. The smaller the f/stop the more out of focus your background will be. The higher the f/stop, everything in the background will be clearer. Enjoy! :)

I was trying to get a different perspective on trees during the fall. This tree was at our church. I liked that it was still green, yet had the bright oranges and yellows in it. Adjustments in Lightroom.

I was recently in downtown with my friend Stephanie at a conference. Of course I brought my camera in hopes of capturing something fun. While walking to the car, Stephanie saw this and thought it would make an interesting picture. Not exactly sure what is is, but I agreed with Stephanie and took the picture. :) Minor lighting adjustments in Lightroom.

Well, here it is ... my first posting EVER on a blog!! I am posting a little early since I won't have time tomorrow. :) This Hibiscus is in our backyard. I used a towel to block the sunlight to help make the lighting more even. I also played around in Lightroom with the settings to get the look seen here.
