25 Days of Christmas - Day 2

2/25 Winter Trees

There are a bunch of these located in the lobby of my office building.  They are actually white, but I had some fun with photoshop.  And since I'm not supposed to photograph anything in the building, I had to take this one on the sly, as I was descending the escalator.  

25 Days of Christmas - Day 1

1/25 - Snowfaces

Cute aren't they?  They are ornaments.  They were in Toys R Us in Times Square.

Christmas Photography

 Christmas Window of Lord & Taylor, New York City.  Fairies in glass domes.  I took this with my iPad and jazzed it up with Photoshop and used HDR Processing.

Christmas Window of Lord & Taylor, New York City.  Blue Fairy. I used my iPad to take this photo.

Christmas Window of Lord & Taylor, New York City.  Follow the Yellow Brick Road.  This was one of the two Literature Displays that I really found interesting.  I used my iPad to take this photo and post processed in Photoshop using HDR processing.

Christmas Window of Lord & Taylor, New York City.  Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly.  I used my iPad to take this and post processed in Photoshop.  Used HDR Processing.

Christmas Window of Lord & Taylor, New York City.  Paper Dolls.  This is the 2nd storybook window, I'm not sure what story this is though.  Took with my iPad and post processed in Photoshop and used HDR Processing.

July 13 2014 - A Day in Photos

One Photo Every Hour (or so).

8:07 am:  My first task after rolling out of bed is taking care of some airline ticket issue.

9:15 am:  Shopping.  I love looking at the gluten free frozen food section.  Although it doesn't change much. But at least it is well stocked today.

10:21 am:  Time for church.

11:31 am:  Church let out.  These pretty flowers are all around the church.

12:09 pm:  Took a walk.  A nearby courtyard from the inside.

1:05 pm:  Relaxing and watching TV.

2:07 pm:  Afternoon snack to cool off and Robocop on the TV.

3:06 pm:  Nap Time.

4:23 pm:   Just woke up from my nap.  It is kind of iffy outside.

5:13 pm:  Taking a shower...no peeking!

This is where I stopped.  9 hours is a pretty good run.  I will try this again, but on a day I know I will be out of the house more.  The weather was just so iffy.  I managed to get some good shots between the rain drops.  Sunday's are a pretty low-key day for me anyway. 

A Day in The Life

I have not taken many pictures this year. School really takes up a lot of my time. I have decided to do a photo challenge. One picture an hour (or so) all day. I will only do it in my waking hours, I will not wake up to do it in the middle of the night.

I have no plans tomorrow, and my daughter will not be home for most of the day, so she probably won't be in any of them. In order to make this easy, I will use the same camera for all the pictures, and it will be my P&S one, not my Canon. I will post these on flicker, I don't want to muck up my blogger with all of them, there could be 12 or more. However, I may post some of the more interesting ones, I haven't decided yet.

Here is the exersise:   Click it up a Notch

Photo Shoot

Today I went to shoot some pictures wtih an old friend from High School. We went down to Chelsea and Highline Park. She has been taking pictures since high school, and she is very good. You can find her work on her blog 5 of 7 Macayas approves. She was helpful and gave me some tips, maybe one day my shots will be as good as hers. But as of now, these are the best of today's.

1. Painted mural in Chelsea.

2. I was fascinated by the guy in the long leather coat. Why? Because I thought he looked a lot like Rick Aviles. Of course it wasn't him, but it was his silhoutte that caused me to stop and take notice.

3. Crumbling Foundation

4. Berries

5. Reflection

6. Boarders

7. Break
