Scavenger hunt at Ashley's!
1. Texture
The dim lighting in our basement that required ISO 5000

and ISO 6400

definitely added some texture to these. I am totally embracing the grain my 5DII gives at extreme high ISO settings. It's so uniform and pretty. Almost film-like in a way. (yes, these are also lensbaby shots)
2. Fog
I really tried. I tried to get the fog in my breath since it was a lovely -5F. But it was also windy and it blew away too fast. Apparently, I wasn't outside long enough because my glasses didn't fog up when I came back in. And then when I took a hot shower, I guess our house is really really dry because the bathroom mirror didn't even fog up.
So I'm posting a pic from last November. Not fog literally, but I was shooting through a mental and emotional fog during my Grandpa's burial ceremony.

3. Button
Hey little Bean, could you show me your button?

YAY! Again?

Okay. Nevermind. Where is your brother?

Those are my very favorite buttons. I love their oldest brothers the best of all, but he wasn't here to show his off.
4. Beverage

Hmmm... two hands looks silly. Maybe I shouldn't have spent all that time setting up the tripod, and just gone with one hand.
5. Seventies
Seriously!? This one had me completely perplexed.
It's all about personal interpretation, right? Right.
I give up.

What wonderful shots.. I love the Bottons shots.. Too Cute. Made me smile this morning!!
Cute buttons and the seventies one had me stumped too
The grandpa fog one made me misty eyed!
My heart just jumped a little when I saw it was you! I just loved this entire group. If I could, I'd follow you around like a little school girl asking questions all the time. You just have a way with your camera.
Belly Buttons are the BEST. Seriously. ... and your fog shot is highly appropriate. Beautiful.
Uggs? LOL! They're just fuzzy boots from the thrift store.
Great shots! My husband suggested the same button shot.....but I was shooting it last night after the kids were in bed....and I was scared to turn on the light in their room!
Oh my goodness. Your pictures are amazing. I like your old name : ) Old Nichols farm is always how I will know you. The picture of the belly buttons.. TOO sweet for words. Absolutely beautiful! LOVE the tricycle as well. Just lovely!
My favorite of all? Your give up shot! : )
I love these photos, the button shot shots are perfect. I didn't even think of that...genius! I also love fog!
What fun! I love the button sequence. Love that you're having a good time with your new camera too!
my kids are too old to show me their belly buttons anymore... ha ha... though when I was searching my old pics for the little dress photo I used for button... I found one of my little girl finding her belly button.... I almost used it... anyway... loved the whole button series... too funny! ;)
SERIOUSLY love your button shot!!! SO adorable :)
awww love the button shots- I had the same idea when doing mine ;)

Such great shots!! I LOVE your take on buttons...made me giggle! :)
Fog- Great interpretation, Button- AWESOME!!! Love the little piece of lint in 2nd one!! HEE HEE!!!
Wonderful pictures! I thought about doing the same for button, but couldn't get mine to pose! =)
LOL....your button shots are to die for! Seriously, and the nose picking one.....awesome. My 2 year old is a champion picker....lately, it's been hard to get a phot of her NOT picking her nose! lol
WOA! OK, how come I never knew about this blog? This is great Jess! I was just reading your email, and was curious where that link would take me. :-) You gave me so much great info in your emails...thank you! I'm a bit of the opposite. I WISH I knew at the techincal stuff, but my mind doesn't seem to hang on to all that stuff. (in other words I'm dumb). :-) Thanks for all the info/advice! I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great week! ♥
Sad fog photo. But I think the nose picking one puts it all in perspective. You have inspired me, I might pull the lens baby out !!!
