{breakfast}
Pretty much the same everyday.
Some kind of cereal.
Orange juice to wash down the Tamoxifen (otherwise I forget and Dr. P does not like that).
And this devotion book that I've had forever.
It's the One Day At His Feet Devotional by Chris Tiegreen.
I keep thinking I will get a new one each year, but I still get something new out of this one everyday and really like his writing style, so I won't try to fix what ain't broke, right?
The content of breakfast pretty much stays the same everyday, but it's typically is not as serene looking as this setup today.
I managed to get lunches together last night, and we were blessed with a late start for Elliott today (thank you to whomever decided that was a good idea for the first day back),
so I had a little more time to sit down.
Breakfast is usually eaten standing up in between dropping Elliott off and getting Ethan on the bus, and the devotion is usually sometime after that - sometimes even way after that - like bedtime.
But this is how I would love it to be every morning - a quiet, peaceful start.
{365 details}
I decided I needed some more direction with this 365 project.
I knew there would soon come a time when I would be at a loss of what to photograph one day.
I did some quick research and found a 365 challenge that fits my needs.
It gives a prompt for each day of the month.
I won't use all of them, but when I'm stuck, I like having something to refer to.
Plus I enjoy looking at everyone else's projects.
If you're interested, it's called
THE BETHADILLY CHALLENGE
and more info can be found at
I do not really know much about it other than I've seen a few other photographers refer to it in their Instagram posts and other forums that I participate in.
I'm incredibly thankful that she has taken the time to organize it and encourage others to participate.
Anyway, that is where the {breakfast} theme came from.
{Technicalities}
I'm really not thrilled with this image.
I always like the documentary part of anything I shoot about my family's everyday, so I do like that.
But I wish I had pulled back a little more.
The book is way too close to the edge, and I had to straighten the image a bit in post, so that cropped it even tighter. I need to keep work on shooting straight.
I also wish I had used the 50mm lens instead of the 35.
I'm not loving the distortion in this one - I don't think it really adds to the image this time.
I've been concentrating on being aware of my ISO settings recently, and I'm happy with that, but I think I was concentrating on that so much that I didn't take care of the aperture appropriately.
I would have liked to have increased the aperture a bit to get a little more of the blue glass in focus.
I do not like the white bowl in front of the bright window - not enough contrast.
And I think the exposure could have been bumped a bit.
f/2.0
1/160
ISO 320
