Today the Downtown Lakeville merchants are busy getting ready for tonight's Family Fun Night. One of my tasks was to pick up buns. A few weeks ago I priced them out at Costco so this morning I go to pick them up and they don't have them. What is up with that? I should have ordered them I guess. Anyway, I drove over to Sam's Club and they had plenty of them. We have found that the Sam's Clubs do not all carry the same things so we often end up running all over town to get some of our merchandise. So frustrating! That is the end of today's rant.
I had some questions about how I got the Angel Hair effect in my Water Fall shots when I went to Minneopa State Park. I found this video by Bryan Peterson that explains the technique better than I can. Cloudy days work better but if you end up at the Water Fall on a sunny day you can use a Polarizer and a Neutral Density Filter to prevent blow out. If you have no idea what I am talking about give me a call and I will try to explain it to you.

This article is about Depth Of Field in Portrait Photography. I thought this would be usefull with Senior Portrait shoots coming up. It helps to have your subject step forward from the background. The point is to emphasis your subject not the background. I know my Granddaughter was so focused on the background of the picture instead of herself.

This article comes from the people at Learn Vest. I know that you need to limit the amount of packaged food you eat but it is difficult when you are really busy. They give you some pointers on picking packaged foods with the most nutrition. The hard thing is avoiding products with high salt content. I do think the food manufacturers are starting to get the message and trying to make their products healthier but they have a long way to go. Frozen foods seem to be the lesser of the evils.

We have cookies back in the candy store. They are baked at Edel's Meat Market in Montgomery, Minnesota. We have Chocolate Chip, M&M, English Toffe & Oatmeal Raisin cookies. They were a big hit when we had them last fall. We will have some free cookies at tonight's event so stop by and let us know what you think of them.
Last year was the first year my husband and I watched American Idol. I never watched it because I could not stand Simon Cowell. Now I am hooked on the show. Last night's show was so awesome. Such talented kids. It will be interesting to see who goes home tonight.
Thank you for reading my Blog!
