Day 40: Through The Looking Glass – self-portrait day, didn’t really want to take a picture of myself using the mirror in my bathroom, so out came the tri-pod! I used the self-timer on this one and thought it would be fun to capture a little bit of who I am in this one.

Day 31 – On The Thirds: I am taking another photography class. Yay! Today, one of the students asked how to set up for a silhouette shot. Rather than photograph my instructor, I moved to another area and captured this shot of the sun through a leafless, winter tree.

Day 35 – Beat: For this picture, I wanted to try to capture some motion of Matthew playing his guitar. Didn’t turn out exactly like I thought it would, but I loved listening to him play this song while I was taking pictures of him.

1/320, f/2.8, ISO 800, 50mm

For some reason, I have not been able to upload any photos on my blog since last week. So I uploaded this photo I took last week to my neglected Flickr account and was able to add the HTML code and voila! I can work around the problem and still upload a picture! Took me a few days to figure it out... :o)

I am still borrowing a 50mm lens from a friend. On the day that I took this picture, I had been listening to an instrumental CD from

Mark Schultz.

I just love a good instrumental CD! Listening to the CD was the inspiration for this photo. I wanted something with sheet music and piano keys. I did apply an antique black and white preset to the photo in Lightroom to give it an aged look, otherwise the photo would have been just black and white.
