Sky Watch: Voltaire

A Sort of Creative Experiment

Quick snaps. I ran around the house just a bit ago and took a few quick snap shots of this and that. I have been experimenting with photography for the last few months with it being my new hobby and all, but I haven't really experimented all that much with different types of editing. I'm exploring my tastes and seeing what sort of creative photographer I am. I hope you like the works I have for you today. 

My Sky watch:

Also linked up with Simplicity: Routine

This shot was actually taken through my girls dirty window and screen. I thought it was moody so I edited in sort of a moody way. It is a routine for myself and the girls to stare out the window in search of boats and birds.

Macro's:

This particular flower is still hanging strong in Lorelei's room from a few weeks back. This was a strong edit I think. The color was definitely distorted into this finished product.

Also linked up with LEM Easter, etc.

Honestly this is no doubt a stretch, but with my oldest getting sick we were stuck on the couch most of the day today. I believe the flowers and their color really says Easter or Spring for that matter.

This photo is more in its original. 

The color of the walls are more of a lavender or light pink in the girls room so I lightened the capture and added a glow for a feminine touch. It's kind of gritty I think.

The Wonderful Outdoors

Spring. Still a little wet. Still a little frozen on this fine Spring day we went out to play. The sun was even shining.

Our boots were getting muddy.

The ice mountains were worth climbing.

..and on our way back up we even stole a view of something beautiful.

Go out and play! The air was so nice and the kids came in for a warm bath, pajamas and a cartoon before bed. Within no time they were fast asleep. Happy Friday!

Don't forget Theme Thursday! Do you like tea? Well, what I mean to say do you drink tea? No...check out Theme Thursday. You'll never know if it's your cup of tea unless you take a look!

Icy, Cold Spring

Bird song and a cool breeze. Flowers blooming and kids jumping puddles. Spring is in the air...not in my neck of the woods. It's freezing, literally. The little bit of spring we did have was frozen over again by a blizzard. Now the closest hope seen for Spring is melting ice.

Lisa's Chaos.

Sky Watch.

Please send Spring my way. 

It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

If You haven't yet, please stop by Theme Thursday and take a look. See if it's your cup of tea.

Sky Watch Friday: Through the Pumpkins

I took this shot just under a week ago (last Sunday) with today's post in mind. I also took a side shadow shot for another post (Scavenger Hunt Sunday). I am really learning to think ahead these days. I hope you like this capture! Please enjoy and check out more sky watch shots by clicking the button below. Have fun and have a great weekend!

Oh, and if you haven't seen this one, Fly Away Home is currently my most viewed Sky Watch capture. Take a look if you'd like!

Sky Watch Friday: A View Through the Grass

In an effort to try something new and to challenge myself I tried to come up with a bit of a different perspective for my sky watch shots. I hope you like my captures and their edits!

Sky Watch Friday: Sunset

The first shot is not edited because honestly I enjoyed the view. It was a gloomy day that was ending with a beautiful sunset and that is just what I captured. It's another you pick though. I'm not sure if I have a favorite. I quite enjoy the second which I tweaked only a little but I always enjoy hearing what you like too. Let me know what you think and please enjoy.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to share any thoughts. For other Sky Watch photos please take a  look here.

I think this is the shortest post I've ever put up. My Hannah just woke up. Look back later and hopefully I can get up the original to this shot. I think you might be surprised. Thanks again!


UPDATE:


Check out the SOOC (Straight Out of Camera shot)

Do you see that tiny little butterfly? That's what I cropped for my Sky Watch shot for today. What do you think?

Skywatch Friday: Enjoy the View

I really enjoy taking pictures with a beautiful sky as my backdrop for my girls, but I have really enjoyed making the sky the focus as well. When I saw a Friday theme for the sky I thought of these photos right away. They are different, but beautiful in their own colorful way. Please enjoy the view.
