I don't think about it much as I have been pouring all my energy into my other blog, <a href="http://www.lifeasparents.com/">www.lifeasparents.com</a> and <a href="http://www.rollenhanson.com/">www.rollenhanson.com</a>. If you would like to see more pictures by me and find out more about me then I recommend checking out those two sites!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by as I hope to update this site in the future when I have more time!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5781551749690992099-5088374398613379825?l=mitchsmeanderings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LifeasParentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13377759626041690924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781551749690992099.post-45905410533613946692009-04-17T08:15:00.000-07:002009-04-17T10:29:15.665-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EJZnCjoKhGc/Sei8UyALVbI/AAAAAAAAACw/pLnb5z4a0Xs/s1600-h/Field-flowers-April-041209-small.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EJZnCjoKhGc/Sei8UyALVbI/AAAAAAAAACw/pLnb5z4a0Xs/s320/Field-flowers-April-041209-small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325713624571532722" border="0" /></a><br />The flower assignment has proved very useful as I have used one of my shots for my blog banner.<br /><a href="http://www.lifeasparents.com/">www.lifeasparents.com</a><br /><br />I think that is a useful idea, so I'll probably use each month's assignment as my blog header.<br />Kill two birds with one stone. Such an ugly saying for efficiency.<br /><br />I am learning a lot about digital photography from this group. So far, it has been a lot of program information which I desperately needed. It just feels wrong to me somehow though, as an old-school photographer, to have to manipulate bad shots to make them better. Although, I love superrealism, the mantra of either get the shot or don't still sticks with me. I'll have to learn to get over that.<br />I played with the saturation on this photo, so I think it is a little too green, but it does pop.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5781551749690992099-4590541053361394669?l=mitchsmeanderings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LifeasParentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13377759626041690924noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781551749690992099.post-82459718675932585982009-04-09T06:59:00.000-07:002009-04-09T07:02:44.317-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EJZnCjoKhGc/Sd3__tW-NFI/AAAAAAAAACo/Hei7HWG80Nw/s1600-h/MexicanSunflower_butterfly_thumb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 265px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EJZnCjoKhGc/Sd3__tW-NFI/AAAAAAAAACo/Hei7HWG80Nw/s320/MexicanSunflower_butterfly_thumb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322691804594582610" border="0" /></a><br />Another flower picture for my April theme photoshoot.
