The 10th Of January

Hi all! So, I've decided to join in with Rebekah on her adventure in taking a picture every hour on the 10th of each month.
I was not successful at taking them every hour, but I gave it a whirl :)

I've been looking at the SLR's and would love one because I've seen what amazing pictures they take, but that purchase is on the back-burner for now :) So in the meantime, my little handy dandy Sony Cyber Shot will do.

Last night when I was taking some pictures of Eli, I realized 'hey, I haven't really explored using other settings'. I'm sure every average person just sticks to the easy automatic settings and lets the flash go at all times. With a little playing around, I figured out how to get my camera to capture shots the way I wanted :) how nice!
You'll see the progress below.

Eli's a happy fellow waking up from his nap! (dog-gone flash! always makes things too bright... hmm..)





There's my dog Ginger! Making a wreck of the back yard.



My guitar... staring at me asking 'when are you playing me next?'



mmm...baklava. oh wait! must cut the husbands hair first.



oops...looks a little like a wig...still new at this, sorry honey :)



oh yeah...almost forgot. Hey! That's more like it!



Hot dog! I can take pictures in sepia tone! oh, my little munchkin... smooch!


Hello doggies.


Conner's got that guilty look in his eye! What a cute face.



Well, that's all for now. I'm excited for next months pics :)

Hey Jaymie (and Justin),

Thanks for stopping by our blog! We loved having you over after Christmas, too--really, anytime you come to Portland, you're welcome to stay. Eli is getting so muchably cute. He might stay a blondie like Jonathan! By the way, Aaron got his Nikon D40 and is taking pics like a crazy-man. It's a nice camera, yo. Hope to see you guys soon!
