Hello everyone! Welcome to Photo Feature Friday No. 2. If you're new here, I'm glad you came by and if you were here last week, I'm glad you're back! I want to give everyone who participated last week a big, gigantical hug and say thank you for joining me here at my blog...you made me so happy!
So anyway, I hope you've all had a good week. Are you ready for Easter? Did you get your candy and then eat it all? I have to admit that I snuck a few pieces...I made sure to buy things I don't really like, so I wouldn't get too carried away...that's a good plan isn't it? For the big day, I'm going to my parents' house. I'm really looking forward to visiting with everyone and eating, of course.
In celebration of the holiday, the suggested theme for today's photos was "Easter." I had wanted my photos to represent the true meaning of the day, but I was really short on time this week and was having a hard time thinking of something to photograph. In the end, I had to resort to a few simple little vignettes. I used dyed eggs and then added some texture in the form of burlap, a little nest and a plant saucer.
Since I'm always trying to figure out camera settings, I thought I'd share mine. All of these photos were shot using an 18-55mm lens, Aperture Priority mode, ISO 200, f/5 with shutter speeds between 1/30 and 1/60. I used the Sweet Vintage action from Florabella and WarmSun from Kim Klassen Cafe, both around 40% opacity, depending on the photo.
Well, are you ready to razzle dazzle me? I can't wait to see your beautiful photography.

Um, Tricia, your photos are so beautiful!!!!! I absolutely love that last one and your photos on the post before this are so very soft and pretty!!!!! You are doing an amazing job my dear! I am so glad that you and your daughter were able to dye eggs, we have been so busy we didn't even get a chance to do that this year. :(

What pretty photos. How did you get your eggs so pale? I love the shades you got- did you use food coloring or a kit? Just wondering, I've never seen such pretty pale shades of eggs!
ReplyDeleteSince I am no photographer and really know pretty much nothing about aperture and so forth, then I am just going to come and visit your party and drool a little over yours and others beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteYours, once again, are gorgeous!
beautiful, I love the colours and elegance :)
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so beautiful! Each time I come here, I feel a sense of calm. I love the softness and colors of these photos. I bought a tiny bag of Hershey Kisses... afraid they are gone :) Not good!
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter with your family!

Gorgeous photos! I had fully intended on joining your parties, but alas, my 3 month old Canon slr is caputsy and in need of warranty replacment =(
ReplyDeleteYour photos here = joyful simplicity!!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty, Tricia! I love the natural texture that the patina on the pot adds to the loveliness of the 3rd pic. Such fantastic compositions. We are coloring eggs tomorrow & I have some fresh flowers, so I am hoping to steal away some time to create. :) I brought home a stack of Romatic Homes magazines from the library & a bio on Julie Andrews, so I about to call it a night!

Beautiful photos, Tricia! I'm sorry I didn't see the Easter theme before I posted, but I guess it's a springtime photos post anyway! I'll pay better attention next week! Thanks for hosting the party!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job with this shots Tricia. You are really learning so fast. Hard to believe you just recently got your camera. I didn't realize it was an Easter theme either! I have not decorated at all, bad mom I know.
ReplyDeleteDear Tricia... I Hope one day to be as good at photographing the Close-Up as you are! What a beautiful Easter vignette... it captures the serenity of Easter perfectly.
