Photo Challenge!!!

The 4th of July has come and gone but we have photos of the memories we made. Here is one of my favorite Independence Day photos.

Now I want to see yours. Post to my Facebook page www.facebook.com/remembrancephoto.com your favorite 4th of July photo. It doesn't have to be of the fireworks, it could be a sweet memory from that day. It also can be any 4th, not just the one that passed. I do want the photo to be taken by you. This is your opportunity to show and tell. I can't wait to see your photos.

Foto Tip Friday!!!!

It is Friday already!!! That means I have a Foto Tip for you. Today's tip is for those who have a DSLR camera. I hope you know what DSLR means but just in case you don't, it means digital single-lens reflex. 

Your camera should have a mirror and a sensor. Sometimes dust gets in the camera and can get on the photos you take. Dust on the mirror doesn't show on a photo, but dust on the sensor definitely does. But there is an easy way to clean the sensor. 

(These instructions are for a Nikon) Simply go into your set up menu and find clean image sensor. Click OK. Next, you will see an option to clean sensor. Click OK again and your sensor will clean itself. What it does is lightly shakes off any dust. You won't feel the shake but it does make a difference. Try it if you are noticing little specks in your photos that you are not sure how they got there.

Throwback Thursday!!!

This photo was taken back in the Fall of 2012. This was one of my daughters school photos. I look at it and she seems so little, but it doesn't seem like it was so long ago. I remember the day I took this photo. 

I started my photography business with photos just like this....school photos. I have 5 children. School photos are not terribly expensive for just 1 child but when you take it times 5 it adds up quickly. 

At first, I took my kids photos to save money and then I realized how much I enjoyed taking photos and I was pretty good at it. A hobby was born! 

All you moms out there probably can relate with the fact that when you have small children, you don't have hobbies. Your kids are your hobbies. Lol! 

As time went on and I was taking photos for friends kids, I decided to take my hobby to the next level. Today, I take photos to bless others. I don't charge a lot because I want to offer something special; a keepsake. You can't put a price on memories. 💕

FotoTip Friday!!!!

Want to know how photographers get that beautiful look of running water? I did too, so I learned and now I will teach you. It is actually quite easy. Shutter speed is your answer. Here is a photo that explains it pretty well.

The slower the shutter speed the more blur you get from the water which in turn makes it appear to be in motion. The faster your shutter speed the more the water looks like it is in mid air. 

Here are a couple more photos I took. 

Try it the next time you are around running water. Even from your faucet, just for fun. Play with the shutter speed and see what you can create.
