Was trying to think of a different way to portray light or lighting which is October's theme of the month on iffles.com. Didn't quite turn out like I expected, but at least it was different!

A hot and sunny Friday afternoon. Before heading out for the night, I snapped a picture of the sun shining behind a flower busy in my backyard. You can almost feel the hot sun... :-)

Attempts to play with lighting and crystal. I was hoping to get a little diffraction of the light into rainbows or something but that didn't work out, so this was the result.

I spotted this tree on an evening walk with my husband this evening. I'm not really sure what kind of tree it is, but the blooms on it look like mini-carnations - so pretty and fluffy! The glow and contrast provided by a street lamp behind the tree really caught my eye, so after our walk I went back outside with my camera and tripod to get an image of the back-lit tree. Little digital editing was done, so the image is almost straight out of the camera.

My husband has two passions - guitar and soccer. He has always played, and excelled, at both as long as I've known him. While he used to play on up to four soccer leagues per week, busy work schedules and such have cause him to limit himself to only two teams a week, both of which play games on the same night. It had been a while since I had attended one of his games, and since he was only playing in one game tonight, I decided to tag along and try my hand at some sports action shots for my picture of the day. Let me just say that while I never thought sports photography was easy, I definitely have a new-found respect for the photographers that do such an amazing job and capturing all those amazing action shots at sporting events. Of course I realize that part of my difficulty in obtaining "perfect" images tonight was the indoor lighting, my use of a telephoto lens that only has a maximum aperture of 4.0, and the fast movement of the players. Even with upping my ISO setting to 1600 and taking the photos at a shutter speed a bit faster than the lighting allowed for, hence the grainy quality and slight blur of the photo, it still wasn't good enough to fully freeze the action. But I made the best of what equipment I had to work with, and did manage to get a couple shots I was decently pleased with, including this shot of my husband making a dash for the goal [which he did score on, by the way :-)].

Today I was one of three ladies who hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends, Tracy. Her baby boy is due to arrive in the end of April, so the shower was a little early, but it was one of the only weekends that would work for everyone. Such busy schedules to work around! My primary role for the shower was, you guessed it, dessert! I made a cute baby block cake and some baby cookies which we handed out as favors to all the guests. Check out the cake on my other blog! This picture was one of my favorites from the afternoon. I love how the afternoon sun was reflected on Tracy's face from the Dr. Suess book. I was doing my best to work with the available light that afternoon, and I was really happy with how the photos turned out. Best wishes for your last 2 months of pregnancy and for a healthy baby boy, Tracy!
