Some great photography tips...

I was just catching up on my blog reading via Google Reader and came across this post on Studio Calico with some great low light shooting tips..I use the "screen layer" thing all the time, especially in indoor shots, ESPECIALLY in Christmas morning/day pictures..and actually, I use everything they mentioned in one way or another..just thought I'd share...

I have nothing exciting to share today..lol..I worked my booty off at work yesterday..just had a patient with ALOT of drama going on and alot of family involved and darn it, I was in the middle..I hate situations like that, but it all worked out, but made the majority of my day very stressful...uggh..cancer and pain suck..I pray I don't have to go through that with any of my family or personally..

So, catching up on some things this morning..making a few photo tiles, uploading people's pictures to their gallery, and heading, where else?, but to the dreaded grocery store before picking up Bailey from school...but thank goodness we have money to go buy food, ya know? I always try to keep it in perspective by thinking about that...but man, I feel like I go every other day...

and then, this evening I have another photo shoot where I did Monday's shoot...the place where "the background looks like an Olan Mills backdrop", according to Elizabeth..haha..a really "easy on the eyes" family again...

and a random picture that is so "typical" Bailey..in her jammies, wadded up on the chair/couch, arms full with her "baby", "blanket", and usually one other random animal..watching cartoons while I edit pictures in the morning..

 

I bought several new digital elements and frames from my favorite online digital store, Designer Digitals, the other day..they had a great sale going on..so look for lots of dressed up pictures..lol..got some cool holiday words/brushes from Ali Edwards..and I got some stuff to start putting together my December Daily album, so those will be great for adding into that..planning on making my own decorated transparencies..and how cute are these tree brushes? didn't see these when I was buying the other day...

and the new first song on my playlist? LOVE..I heard it first on some commercial and I swear it was a Rice Crispies commercial done in black and white with a little girl and her Mom or it may have been a Publix commercial?, but it choked me up everytime..ha..yes, I get teary eyed at commrcials every now and then..and then they played it at the end of the John and Kate Plus 8 wedding special the other night with a montage of shots from the series that they showed for a few weeks and I was like "THAT'S IT, I'M FINDING THAT SONG"..so Brad goggled it and found it, and it's this very large Samoaen guy called IZ, who has actually passed away now..here's a link to the Youtube of it...interesting..but I LOVE that song..something about it...hope you like it too..otherwise, tough luck cause it's staying until I do a Christmas playlist in the next few weeks..haha...

back later...

Bailey is just too cute! I love that song too. I heard it one Christmas in a Jimmy Johns sandwich shop and went straight home to google it ;-)
