Susan’s Photo Blog

I have exactly one belly shot from my first pregnancy (at 40+ weeks, no less) and one from my second pregnancy.  Not sure why I never got into taking the weekly, or even monthly, picture of my ever expanding midsection, but I just don’t feel the need.

However, I had an idea a few weeks ago and I found myself with some time, energy, and inspiration to try it out today.  The result isn’t exactly what I’ve been picturing in my mind (although it is close), so I’ll have to do some tweaking to my setup and have another go at it in a few weeks.

And a couple more pictures of the beauty that surrounded us all week.

It took two tries, on two separate nights, to get some family pictures down at the ocean.  The first try resulted in chopped limbs and several out of focus pictures.  The second try may have ended in better results if Jubilee hadn’t been so opposed to the idea, as you can see from the second picture.  So, the keeper is the first one, I do believe.

And, of course, here is Nick doing what Nick does:

I have always had fun photographing water, so I thought I’d turn another one of my class assignments into a water project.  These are pictures of high color contrast (magenta/green, blue/yellow, red/cyan).  So, just for the fun of it, here they are:
