Snow Snow Snow

Today my big brother came to celebrate christmas with my father and myself, and we were blessed with snow.  I always appreciate snow more when I am not expected to drive in it.

I love when there is a fresh snowfall and everything is crisp and white.  The snow was untouched and perfect.

Of course Mr. Winks wanted to play in the snow, I love his little snow mustache.

This is my brother's dog Kaylee, she is much better behaved then my Mr. Winks.  She loves my brother and follows him around everywhere.  

I love her bright brown eyes.  So sweet.

The holiday season is coming to a close and work is about to get extremely busy....but I hope to spend some quality time with my beloved camera in the coming weeks.  

Love Always, 

Meg

Kaylee

I am taking a photography class with Lisa, from thelongroadtochina.blogspot.com.  I am really, really excited to start using full manual, and to leave the auto button alone.  Here are some pictures that I took of Kaylee in Aperture priority mode.  The first one is really blown out, but I really like it anyway.  I did not edit any of these pictures, and I am going to try to not do much editing at all for the next few months while I get better with the more manual settings of my camera.  I feel confident with my editing skills, of course I can improve in that area as well too though, so I am going to really focus on getting the best pictures sooc.  I'm really exicited to be back on the right track, and can't wait to see the progression of my photography.

I really wish Mr. Winks wasn't in the back ground of the first picture, but I can always edit him out later if I ever want to print it out.  I kind of like having my dad's hand in the photo, but I will probubly crop it or edit it out if I print those pictures as well.

Love Always,

Meg
