Emotion

Here are my photos a day from this week:


(Sorry for the bad quality on these, for some reason blogger is making them look bad!  They look much better on facebook or instagram)


What I'm thankful for:  I'm thankful for yummy canadian thanksgiving prep! yum!

 #day6 #FMSphotoaday Another thing I'm thankful for, coming home to the sweet smell of cinnamon, vanilla in my candle warmer!

This one was taken on my dslr in case you couldn't tell 

#day7 #FMSphotoaday light!

Day 8- angle! #FMSphotoaday

Day 9- Red. #FMSphotoaday

This one I especially like.  I used a simple editing app on my phone, and brightened the colors to make it look more bold.  Again, blogger is messing them up so it doesn't look as good!

Day 11- SomethingS close. #FMSphotoaday
 Another favorite :)

Day 12 - What's on the table. Yummy birthday breakfast with awesome grandparents!

There is a reason I skipped day 10, because I want to talk about it.  Day 10 was emotion.  Every other day, I have gotten excited for my pictures and looked for creative ways to capture my day.  But emotion, I was lost.  I didn't know how to capture a feeling in a photo.  I know I pictures make me feel things and experience emotions, but now I'm on the other side trying to create that feeling, I don't know how to do it.  I have been learning so much about photography the last few weeks and all of it, (well, most :) has clicked and made so much sense to me.  But there is another level to taking pictures that no video or teaching can help me do.  And that's creating something people can feel, and connect with.  There is no formula, settings to create pictures that make people feel sad, happy, wonder, love, awe, joyful, excited, and so many other things.  It's part of the creating the art that puts emotion into it.  So, instead of trying to create emotion, I thought of what I felt.  It was raining, and rain always gives me this feeling of peace, like the rain is just washing everything that's wrong away.  I wanted to capture that feeling of two little boys who find so much wonder in the smallest things in life, and the peace I felt watching the rain in the crisp, fall air.  So, I stopped stressing over trying to make it something everyone would love, and just captured the moment, a sweet, sweet moment.


Day 10 - Emotion. Rainy, cold day calls for snuggling on the porch with a cute little blondy.

I'm sorry again for the terrible quality of the pictures.  I didn't have enough energy to try and fix the problem.   Visit my facebook album to see the pictures not grainy.  Facebook
