Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all know you are special and loved. Not just on Valentine’s Day but every day. 🙂 Here are some of my favorite things this week.
* Breakfast
I haven’t gotten my smoothie mojo back yet, so the next best thing is a bowl full of yogurt, berries and seeds to start my day. Oh, and please don’t forget the honey! This bowl will keep me full until lunch and I just love the pretty colors.
* Blogging Photography
You all know, I haven’t been blogging for very long. In addition to that, I haven’t really used my DSLR camera that much or even gone to a photography class. Yes, I really need and would love to go to one. It’s on my list of things to do. So, my photos on this blog have been a bit of a hit or miss. As you can see here
and here. My main problem with the pictures is they were either too dark or too yellowish. Now, to be fair, most of my pictures are taken at dinner time so there’s no natural light coming in. And yes, I could have used the auto setting, but I really wanted to learn how to shoot my pictures manually.
While surfing the internet I found Pinch of Yum. She’s an amazing food blogger with even more amazing photography skills. I had purchased another photographer’s ebook online before but let me tell you, Pinch of Yum’s is so worth it. Since buying her ebook, I have seen such a great impact in my picture taking. If you just got a DSLR camera and you don’t know how to use it, go check them out. Here is one of the pictures I’ve taken after reading her ebook. Yes, it was on the manual setting! I know I have more to learn, but I’m pretty happy with these results. Click here to visit Pinch of Yum.
*Krazy Kup
I’ve been meaning to go to the new Coffee shop in downtown Plant City, Krazy Kup and I finally got a chance to go. The space is really comfy and they have a few little “nooks” where you can just hide away and read a book or surf the internet. They offer coffee, hot cocoa, pastries and even wraps. We went in the morning so I grabbed some coffee for me and hot cocoa for the girls. They insisted on crescents and brownies for breakfast. 😉 Before leaving the coffee shop I snapped this picture and applied my favorite new app, Waterlogue.
*Waterlogue
Not to be confused with Waterlogged. It’s so fun. You take a picture then the app makes a watercolor picture of your picture. It works best with things like buildings and landscapes. I tried it with a portrait of my daughter and I would not recommend that.
