2012 photo of the day :: day 4

Decided to try and take a picture of Nutty today. She is not quite so cooperative with the posing as Dude is. In fact, it almost seems like she is intentionally trying to prevent me from getting a good picture. She will wait until I get the focus locked in and then just as I am hitting the shutter she will turn her head. This picture is actually the first frame I took. After that, she knew what I was up to and kept moving or turning her head. My Nutty girl.

Over Christmas my grandmother gave me some old family photos on some Kodak Ektachrome and Agfachrome slides to have converted to digital pictures. I saw the box today and thought I would hold one up to a light source and take a picture. This is one held in front of our window. I think they pictures are from early to mid 1960’s. Now that I remembered about them I will have to see about having them converted to digital format the proper way, but for the purposes of my photo of the day project I liked this.

Today’s offering is a close up picture of a lamp that we recently purchased. There are 3 goosenecks that have aluminum “pom pom” shades. We put red light bulbs in the lamp to make it more of a background light. I thought the shades would make an interesting picture, and since I am still getting used to doing this photo of the day thing again and went almost all day without taking a picture, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take a picture of them.

I’m back! My 2011 photo of the day project sort of fell apart at the end of August (I did however successfully complete a photo of the day project for 2010). I definitely needed a break, but I really have missed photo of the day. So, I am back for 2012. We are having a nice relaxing New Year’s Day. We are hanging out with the critters, sitting by the wood stove and watching TV. Not a bad day in my opinion. I took a picture of the dude. I think he has missed posing for the camera. I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to 2012.

A picture of blackberries cooking away on the stove. I picked 12 cups of berries and I am making some Krem,. Basically cooking down the berries, straining them, adding some sugar and starch. Serve with some cream. It is also good over ice cream.
