EIU photojournalism professor Brian Poulter (www.flickr.com/people/ittybitty/) teaches beginning photojournalism students how to pan, freeze, blur, and use depth of field.
After stopping by the (closed) Olympic National Park Visitor Center to pick up a map, we headed back to Port Angeles to grab a coffee to get the day started right. We Yelped it, and as soon as I saw Itty Bitty Buzz I knew I had to stop there to post on Buzz.
It didn't hurt that the coffee I got was good, and that on the way there we saw Cockadoodle Doughnuts and got some donuts on the way out...
Thank you Christine!! (Ittybitty) This is one of 2 Musical toys she sent me for Christmas : )
He is cool!! It is Puss in boots from Shrek. He has a lot to say, haha.
Thank you thank you : )
Our hike to Cockspur Lighthouse took us right to the waters edge. It was marshy and there was a lot of brush and driftwood, and the beach looked like it was made up mostly of shells with a little sand thrown in as an afterthought.
At one point we noticed LOTS of these little baby crabs scurrying everywhere. I can only guess they had just hatched. There were so small and blended in with the ground we really had to watch where we stepped.

I am not entirely sure what this is, but I found it growing next to my oak tree (I believe my dear oak has passed on, which makes me sad). This little bit of green is so small that I had a hard time even getting close enough to get any detail. All together it might be as wide as my pinky nail but that might be pushing it.
Well, what ever this little bit of life is, I look forward to seeing what it becomes. Maybe just a weed of some sort, maybe something much more interesting....I will keep you updated.

Here is my itty bitty white book from Danielle Muller's swap. It turned out really great. It is fun to such so much creativity packed into such a little bit of space! Luckily Maryann is now doing another one, this time the color being robin's egg blue. Come join in the fun.
decided to grown thai chili peppers this past summer, but i planted them in a place that got way too much shade. this was the teeny-tiniest chili pepper on the plant.
I took this shot in the highway sunset late night. I did a few tweaks and added a texture by Lenabem-Anna.

Well I'm 70 days into my 365 photo-a-day project.
And I haven't cheated once. I've also flossed every day for 70 days.
I know that for you regular flossers this isn't that big of a deal. But I used to floss around once a week...after eating popcorn. So I'm quite pleased with my flossing self!
Anyway, my hope is that my 365 project will make me a better photographer. It's already made me a better Photoshop user.
Take today's photo for example. I only took three pictures today. Wasn't in the mood for more. This was one of the three.
If you are interested, you can see both the before and after picture. here
Here was my process for this photo.
1. Open the photo is Camera Raw and try to remove the green color cast with the white color picker. Increase the exposure a bit and move the photo to Photoshop.
2. Move the photo to a new 4 x 6 size photo. Try like heck to straighten it while also keeping to the rule of thirds. Give up and just straighten it the best I can.
3. Run the Light exposure fix from Itty Bitty Actions, the sweet set. I love this action and use it a lot. It give the photo some pop and lets me darken some areas and lighten some areas.
4. I'm still not liking the overall coloring on the photo. My brown stairs have an ugly greenish look and so does Kylie's hair--due to the overhead lights and hardly any natural light hitting the stairway. So I run the Sweet Lavender action from ittybitty. It gives the photo this lovely purple cast. Look at the stairs on the right and you'll see what I mean. I play with the opacity of the three action layers until I'm happy.
5. I run the Vignette Smoother action which gives a very nice, subtle dark frame around the photo to draw the focus in. I use this action a lot too.
6. But I'm still not happy with the light bounce I'm getting from the stair banister on the left side of the photo. I run Pioneer Woman's Quick Edge Burn action and then move the burn out so it just covers the wood.
7. Then I run Pioneer Woman's Vintage action which on a opacity of 20% gives the overall picture that lovely softened look. I play around with erasing the action around Kylie's eyes which look so pretty in the original. But it just looks creepy so I keep the action on the whole thing.
8. I'm getting quite a lot of blur and the photo was blurry to begin with, so I run smart sharpen on a duplicate layer but then erase the sharpen from Kylie's face and hands and a bit of the stairs.
9. Take a deep breath and think about starting all over but then realize I'm not that in love with the picture. It's cute. I think I've made it a bit better. I'm done.
10. Take a big drink of Diet Coke and blog about it.
Makes me incredibly happy!
Alright, this is just about the cutest damn thing I've seen in awhile. We ended up at a botanical garden in Georgia in the pouring rain. Not much to take pictures of in the rain we were getting soaked walking around. We wandered into the field to see what else was around and OMG my heaven appeared to me. Hundreds of tiny little green froggies started hopping around everywhere!
Now, in my head we didn't step on any of these little babies cause that would make me sad and I think I'd cry. But I did catch quite a few of them for some photo ops. The problem was keeping them on my hand and getting my camera to focus at the same time.
Freakin adorable...amazing how much I love butterflies, but if you give me amphibians or reptiles I'm usually a pretty happy camper.
My supplementary dish. Snapper Crumbed ‘El Bulli Style’ with Sautéed Zucchini, Green Olive Butter and Tomato Fondue. On a very large plate.

so, it's the last week of class!
someone, moi, cannot wait to be free of such time-consuming obligations for
a few weeks.
I am quite enjoying the whole getting a masters experience.
but I sure turn down a bunch of fun invites so I can sit in front of a book
and my mac for hours.
so, in early anticipation of a celebratory state, it's a wee devil duckie
party.
very wee.
but very devily.
they all are telepathically chanting the mantra of "soon, soon."
