Photo Feature Friday No. 6

Hello to you!  Welcome to Photo Feature Friday No. 6.  If you're new here, thanks for stopping by and if you've visited before, thanks for returning!  I suggested a theme of White for this week.  If you photographed something other than White feel free to link that up too.

Since I've been feeling extremely tired and not up to doing much, I didn't come up with a whole lot for today.  I took five pictures and I'm showing you four of those.  The entire photo session took all of about five minutes...so don't expect too much ;)


I love old keys, don't you?  I decide to pair this one with some chamomile flowers...one of my contributions to the white theme of the day.


Then I thought of all the white starfish I have and how they'd be perfect for a photo or two, so I threw those into the mix.

Hold on...I hear the dog barking his head off...I have to go check it out.  Maybe he knows I want to come upstairs and have some cheese and crackers :)  I'll be back...


Okay, here I am.  All is well now.  I had a snack while I was gone and I'm feeling a wee bit better.

Let's get back to business.  See that pretty handkerchief?  I got it from my friend Rachel.  Hi Rachel :)   I thought it looked so pretty with my grouping of whites.


Well, that's all I have.  Want to know the specifics?  Here they are...I shot all of my photos on AV mode at f/5 or f/5.6, ISO 400 and shutter speeds of 1/25 to 1/40.  I did minimal processing of my photos, just the Milk and Honey action from Flora Bella.


Time for a photo show and tell.  I can't wait to see your beautiful photography!

Things to note:
Use only your own photos, not those found on the web.
Link your post, not the main page of your blog.
Please include a link to the party or the party's button in your post.
Go out, visit and leave some comments for others ♥

If you want more party specifics or need to know how to link up, you can look here.

Next week's suggested theme or challenge is an easy one:  Flowers

Have a good weekend ♥ Tricia

  4. Your pictures are beautiful, Tricia! My favorites are the first and last ones... so pretty. :)
    I haven't linked up to any parties in a while, but since your theme is white, I thought I'd link up a recent post I did based on white. I don't use any special techniques or photoshop, so I hope that's OK.
    Thanks so much for your input on my new header... much appreciated my friend! Speaking of new headers... lover yours! :)
    Have a great weekend coming up!
    Hugs,
    Jo ♥

    p.s. I'll go add the link to your party to my post now. :)

    ReplyDelete

  36. I am amazed that only five shots gave you four srumptous pictures. Your photos are always so soft and serene. Is it the milk and honey action from Flora Bella? Or is the lighting? I'm new at this and would love some tips

    ReplyDelete

  37. The image of white is clean and neat. It is good idea to collect white photos.
    Your starfish photo is very beautiful.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Impressive body of work for 5 minutes of shooting. Wow. I have a small collection of antique keys and tried to photograph them once unsuccessfully. You have given me some ideas that I will be trying soon! Thank you for sharing your talents and process! Have a great weekend. Hope you are feeling better.

  48. Hi Tricia,

    Do you use lights (not flash) for your shoots? They look so classy!

    I installed IE9 yesterday and for some reason I'm having trouble navigating your blog...same problem on Mozilla. Mouse stops working...just wondering if you made any changes? I don't have problems on others I've looked at. Just saying!

  61. Tricia, somewhere along the line your photos have crossed over from really good, to simply amazing. I did not link up this week, because well, my photo was weak, ;), but hope to again soon. In the meantime, I do enjoy every stunning picture you take. xxx

    ReplyDelete

  62. Wow Tricia! Your photos are beautiful. One of these days I will join in on your Photo Feature Friday. I've been so tired too lately. Haven't even blogged much. But it too shall pass. I will get back into the groove again soon.

    Have missed you though!
