You know how when you get ready for a trip you plan out what you're going to wear and if you're like me you try things on. Well this is my outfit for the day. I did the thing...you know I fell prey to the Hunter boot trend. I'm not usually a trendy person, but for some reason these boots were calling my name. I feel sassy and funky and ready to take on Seattle...YAY! This has nothing really to do with my Thrive post, except that the boots are full of color and that's what I want to focus on this week.
My camera class assignment was really on movement. Our teacher does some amazing shots by moving his camera and playing with shutter speed. Some of the pictures he takes look like paintings. It's really cool, but since we recently talked about shutter speed I'm going a different way for this post. If you want more info on movement visit Suzanne, my partner in crime for details.
I'm going to be a rebel and give you an assignment of my own:) Show me COLOR. This is the time of year I crave it more than anything. We've had 4 months of grey, brown and white and it's still going to be a while before Spring arrives here in tundra land. So bring it!! Whip out those cameras and give me your best color shot. Grab my button and link up. I'll pick two winners each week. Those two winners will be added to the pot and I'll pick the two final all -time favorite photos for the grand leather cuff prize:)

Now for this week's

Loved this simple shot. The cute little feet are the focus. It follows the rule of thirds. The floor actually provides great lines and the low angle provides the interest.
I like the angle of this shot and the whimsy with her fun little hat. It's cropped in close, so the background doesn't distract. Very simple and sweet to boot.
Thanks everyone.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
I'm having boot lust!
ReplyDeleteHunters are our stock standard walking boot here - Im amused that they have caught on as such a trend in the US! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a WONDERFUL time in Seattle. Give loves to those sweet ladies L&S! Looking forward to feeling all jealous about that fact that you live on the same side of the world and are getting to get up to such fun together, when we read your posts!

Have a great time in Seattle... it's a fabulous city. Of course I'm a bit biased since I'm from a little north of Seattle ;)
ReplyDeleteBesides all the obvious places, be sure to visit a Trophy Cupcake if you have time... they are fantastic and I don't even like cake that much.

Do you use any photo editing software? If so, which one? If not, have you heard any recommendations?
ReplyDeleteI'm debating between a couple so I'm asking every photography person I can think of :)
I LOVE the boots! I don't usually fall prey to treds either but this one I'm all for. Hope you have a great time in Seattle. I grew up in Western Washington and the green is one of the things I miss most. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThose boots are fantastic! Love your blog. New follower. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, there's some fantastically, wonderful, colourful photos linked to this post. Have fun choosing your faves, Becky.
ReplyDeleteThere really are some great photographers around. I love seeing the photos that are linked.
Thanks for coming over and commenting on my quilt. Something happened and my blog got deleted all the way! So you can now find me on the blog I am leaving this message from.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Must go google hunter boots.
