Framed

A couple of days ago I was looking at a selfie of Alsacienne where she posted it was a photo from a project she was doing at 52Frames.com.  Looking for something to jump start my photo taking with the real camera and not my phone, I checked out the site.   I was hooked as they email a weekly topic and a challenge type topic every Monday. And its free or you can contribute.    Then you have all week to submit one photo.  I like this kind of photo instruction.   They do want the photographer to share the camera and settings for each photo which may help me learn the manual stuff that I have forgotten!

Today, I dragged out the tripod (it was dusty!) and set up at the mirror in my bedroom (it was dusty too!)   I ended up playing with the camera settings to get a photo I like.  I have forgotten most of what I knew would work in the lighting here...but finally I had about 30 photos.   I think I kept maybe 10 to choose from for my submission.   This was the one except I changed it to b/w.  

I liked this one and called it Girl in the Mirror.   

So maybe my photos this week will be on the topic and then by the weekend I can choose one for submission...or it might take until Sunday to get a photo I am happy with.  The site specifically says to be imperfect!!   I do like that!!

My hubby is doing better with his knee  but the drugs are messing with him.  Strange dreams that upset him and kept him awake.  He also said he feels a little dizzyheaded which he thinks is because of the drugs. (Yep!)   He may just start taking ibruprofen tomorrow.    We will see how that goes.

Have a good week Blippers!!
