It's been a crazy April here in Virginia, USA. The month started out bright and sunny, but about halfway through we finally got the rain we'd been praying for! ... and then some! .. and then some more! Some areas have even been hit by tornados. Suffolk and that area got the worst of it. Luckily I'm north of that area and missed the monster tornado. So far where I live, it has either rained all day long, all night long, or both. Days when it has been bright and sunny, I've had to work at my office job, only to find it raining when it is time to get off. If it is not raining by the time I'm scheduled to get off, I'm working over-time! And if it hasn't been raining during my time off, it's been overcast and windy 90% of the time. I ...

We've had some of your craziness here in MD, too. Luckily, the weather was perfect yesterday for an afternoon of shots of a boy scout soap box derby. The event was as fun as it sounds, with lots of kids racing contraptions down a hill. None were suitable for Dt, but I'm hoping the kids and their families enjoy the shots.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the weather out there! - posted by

It's odd how sometimes the best whether comes when you can't take photos.

I'm sure all of us have seen this rejection reason many, many times. There have been many threads about this topic, figuring out exactly what this broad statement means. To me, it means Unappealing to the Eye. Ok, you say, but what does that mean? How can I make my images more 'appealing'?" you might say. "They look great to me!" And they probably are great images, or move us in some way, otherwise we wouldn't have taken them. But one thing we often forget to do is look at the image from another perspective. The best way I have found to do that is to play with the RAW file. Pick an image that you feel is top-notch. Open the RAW file. Now you may think I'm crazy, but trust me. This has worked wonders for me. Time to play with all of the settings without ... [ Read more... ]

I wasn't using your image as an example of composition, I was using it as an example of files (to go with the explanation of RAW). Sorry for the confusion. - posted by

Hi Teresa, I agree with your comments about my file "Graphics File Icons", it's not a good composition, but it wasn't meant to be. Please let me explain. This and other related files were created for a client that wanted VECTOR icons of different categories of file formats. The vector file allowed them to manipulate, scale, and recolor each icon, as well as repurpose it into other uses with no loss of resolution. (They wanted to use them in some animations in development.) Other clients found the files useful as well, so I submitted them to Dreamstime in hopes of a few more sales. Fortunately they were accepted. Now, I am not a photographer; I work in Illustrator. But, in order to get a vector file accepted on Dreamstime, you have to submit a jpg first. So this is by long way of explanation to say that the jpg didn't start out as a photo but is a required jpg of the vector file, which is the main purpose and usefulness of the file. I appreciate your blog and thank you for your comments.... More) - posted by

Is just one of the phrase that sticks out in this image. Follow the leader. Following in the shoes of a parent. Guidance. Love. Raising children. Hey Mom! Wait for me! I unknowingly captured this motivational moment in time, and am greatly surprised. I wanted to share it with everyone. I hope you all get the same good, warm feelings from it that I get.
