Since I'm procrastinating well so far.... Here are a few of the recent photos I've taken for the other online course I'm taking- Digital Photography. I'm sooo lucky to have found this for my last elective. I'm loving my photography even more and loving that it counts for a course. The best part is that I am strengthening my editing skills with a new adobe program (CS4). It's similar to what I've used in the past but has some great features I have not used in my other programs. Here ya go, just for enjoyment... (Click these for larger views of the pictures if you want. The panorama looks much better larger but I've only uploaded it as a smaller picture. Clicking it doesn't make it much larger.)
Closeups:
Frame:
Yes, I love flowers! The local rose gardens are currently in full bloom which is great timing for photos for this class.
Lines:
A different area of the K-State gardens, one of my favorite photog spots in the community.
Point of View:
Taken at the lake, on the dam.
Cute Kid... I mean- Simple Background:
Gotta capture the kiddos once in a while! We usually venture out as a family for my weekly photo shoots. Good quality time driving around and talking.
Rule of Thirds:
Again at the K-State Gardens
Merger:
This particular merger be the fact that there is a rose bush growing from Shaun's head. Haha! I wasn't very creative. It was getting late.Landscapes:
These were Rocky Ford Dam (about a block from my home), Konza Prairie just south of Manhattan, and side road that winds beside the river near the bridge leading into town from the south.
Panorama:
This was a merge of four different pictures to make the one larger picture. It was fun and easy to do. I framed it just for kicks. This was our most recent assignment.Raw:
Before
AfterWhen we learned about the camera raw feature of the software we had to do a before and after editing pictures. I did a lot of editing of the photo for the assignment but I prefer a less saturated look normally.
That's it for now. If I remember, and have time, I will post a couple shots each week for the next several weeks as the class continues. I'm loving it!

Beautiful pictures!!!
Oh...and on that procrastination problem. I assisted in presenting a short in-service the other day on the belief in effort. If you believe in effort then your achievement will increase. In short, just get started and you will finish!
I'm really not much of a procrastinator normally. I prefer to get things done right away to keep my stress level low. I do however work best under a deadline so if I wait to do things sometimes I do better work. Go figure! I'm maybe half way done with my mid-term paper and I already have everything else completed for the next couple weeks or so. :) Oh- and by the way- procrastination is inherited...
