Silly me

Last night I was thinking it was the last night for focus, but then found out today that I was wrong. Again it took me all day to figure out something. Then I seen my idea as Bill (dh) was sitting on the couch watching his favorite team playing football. He had his beer in his hand and focused on his game. Annoying the hell out of me I must say. Surround sound turned up, yelling and screaming at the tv as if these people really hear what he is saying. I am sure I was annoying the hell out of him telling him how I wanted to take his picture and telling him to hold the beer bottle this way and then he wanted to take a drink and I was telling him, I am not done yet. All the while he is trying to stay focused on his team. So this I guess is how I end the week in focus!

The last day of FOCUS

This has been an interesting week. Focus can be taken so many different ways. when the week started, I was thinking up everything I wanted to do and each day I seen that my ideas were also ideas of others. Making me think harder so that I was unique. I guess that is the whole idea of doing this blog. Getting the creativity flowing. I like the others want to focus more on my family, focus on my health and focus on my friendships. Those will come first. Then after taking care of all of that I realize one thing that I would LOVE to have time to focus on would be to have time
To actually shave my legs. Being a stay at home Mommy to two daughters and having a husband who works crazy hours makes it super difficult to find time for this one simple task. Thank goodness for being able to wear pants right now.

to end the week of focus I decided to :

Take a picture out of focus!

Thank you again for all of you leaving me comments!

OH what a day!

Today has been an exhausting day with my girls. There has been a lot of naughtyness (IS THAT A WORD?)today. Crying, yelling , screaming and fighting. My brain is fried and I am tired , so tired that I couldn't think of anything for today. I could share the pictures of my girls moments, but I am not comfortable posting full pictures of them. So I chose to be as corny as I could. I wish I could FOCUS on 2peas. LOL. I am such a goober sometimes. Well, I am off to get the kids in bed and then ahhhhh I am having a wine cooler! CHEERS!

Another day of Focus

Who can focus if they have poor vision?

I am still on theme, but the ideas are running out!

Day 3 FOCUS!

Mya has had a cold for a few days now and the only thing that seems to help is Vicks. Today she went to her room to watch a movie and was really coughing so I went and rubbed some Vicks on her chest. On my way downstairs a light bulb clicked in my head for todays post. This is what I came up with for today. I have to focus on getting her feeling better so she can have fun playing with her toys.
Settings were:
ISO 400
f/1.8
1.125

Focus day 2

Oh what a beautiful day we had here today. I think I heard it was around 70 degrees. That is my kind of weather. I actually was able to get the girls out to play . It was wonderful getting a breath of fresh air and not having to freeze while doing it. I can see that I have been getting way to much practice in doors because when I got outside with my camera I was so uncomfortable. I didn't do a CWB and WOW do I have regrets now.
So for today's theme, I took My Awesome photography book found the definition for Focus and took a picture focusing mainly on that word. It was kind of hard to get a super good close up with my 50mm, but I tried.

Manual - ISO 100- f/1.8- 1/640
Then while I was outside I took a snap of the berries on my hedges. I think this is pretty good focus if I do say so myself. LOL!


Manual- ISO 400- f/1.8- 1/1000
yes I screwed up the settings. I was holding my camera, holding Laken and pushing Mya on her bike! That is multi -tasking if I ever seen it. I am sure I looked like a goof trying to get a picture of berries on a dead hedge. Wonder what my neighbors think when they see me with my camera outside taking pictures of things other then people. I guess the same things I used to think when I would see someone taking pictures of the same type of things before I got into photography. They will really talk this summer when they see me on my head trying to get that perfect shot of my kids playing. LOL.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments each and every day.. I love them and look forward to them.

POTD "FOCUS"

This is going to be short and sweet. I didnt get to technical today. Seeing how the title of the week is "Focus" into 2008, this was my first thought.


AND the usual.
