Thursday Blog

I hope your week is going well.  We are busy trying to get ready to leave on the 1st for our motorhome journey.  We are doing a lot of lunches and dinners out trying to see all our friends and family before we leave.  I had lunch with some friends from High School which was really fun.  I love seeing those gals. 
Please send prayers to all the people who are cleaning up after the floods here in Minnesota.  It is devastating to loose so much so suddenly and it is so much work to try and get it back to normal. 
Here is a link to the Huffington Post website reporting on the devastation.

Here are some creative ideas for making your own headboard from out friends at DIY Network.  Some of these have seen before.  I really like the one reusing the signage.  Very cool idea.

Here is an article about photographing people who are wearing glasses.  The easiest solution is to have them take them off but that is not always possible.  Sun Glasses can be just as bad unless you want your reflection to show up in their lens.

Today's How I Shot It Photo was taken before my Granddaughter's Prom this year.  I shot with my Olympus E510 SLR, F5, 1/400th of a second, ISO 400, hand held.  In post processing I cropped it and then used creative filters to blur the background out to get the dreamy effect.
