Day 40 - no photo.... Nothing worth sharing. Boo.

Some of these 'new' days on here were taken the same day. Obviously, as you can see in the outfits. However, sometimes the 'average' of good shots is better than capturing them on the actual day. I'll get back to being more OCD about that once I'm totally caught up.

Day 39, 12-9-13

Oh my, nearly a month behind in posting pictures!!

It's been a crazy busy Christmas and December. I thought Day 39 deserved it's own post.

I took hundreds of pictures in terrible lighting conditions at Evan's first Christmas Concert.

The concert was so sweet. I was just so proud of Evan. He was nearly the youngest of the 3K class and he was brave, stuck through the whole concert, and enjoyed singing.

Side note -- he blew me kisses from stage (I may or may not have blown the first one....)

Thank you Christ the Life for helping Evan with structure, education and socialization that has helped him blossom into the sweet 3.5 year old he is today.

Wow, okay -- mom bragging much? I'm back to getting up to speed with sharing photos.

Happy New Year!!

31/365 to 38/365

Trying to get caught up in posting!! For the next 13 days or so you'll notice an over-abundance of Christmas Tree pictures. Some to capture a moment, others to try to perfect the Christmas Tree 'bokeh.'

Just to clarify today, 12/12/13 is actually day 42 so I'm still quite a few days behind in posting.

Basically bokeh is the display of out-of-focus points of light.

Bokeh is different from sharpness. Bokeh is what happens apart from the focus point. It also describes the "feel," of out-of-focus areas. Bokeh is the character of the blur. There are debates on how to pronounce it. Being a relative beginner in photography I am probably doing it wrong, but I say it like Bo-ka (like Boca Raton). Help if you can shed light on the exact pronouncation.

#38 - darn white balance!! Under harsh lighting conditions with a bright red Elmo. I played quite a while to try and perfect that one. Guess that's the time when custom WB would have been really helpful!!
