Golden Hour Winner!

First, off, I would like to apologize for the mixed-up-ness of this blog lately. As human's we all have our shortcomings sometimes, but still, that is not acceptable. We will try our best to keep things running smoothly, but I make no promises! ;)

We have thought through our schedule again, and we are going to try posting assignments every other week, and on the in-between weeks announce the winners of the previously closed assignment. You will still have two weeks to enter each assignment. :)

Today we will be announcing the winner of the Golden Hour assignment. Rachel will be posting our next assignment so be on the look out for it! :)

This week we just couldn't decide one winner, so we shall have a winner and a runner up!!!

The winner is Emily Grace from Photography By Emily Grace I would encourage everyone to go check out her amazing pictures! :) Congratulations, Emily Grace!!! :D

Weekly Assignment: Golden Hour

Hello Everyone! I am really excited about this week's assignment, golden hour is one of my favorite times for photography! Golden hour is the hour proceeding sunrise, and preceding sunset, the sun is not harsh, and it produces beautiful lighting for pictures. :)

1. The picture you submit must be taken by you between November 9, and November 23, 2011. The Linky will close Wednesday Nov. 23, so make sure you link up before then.

2. You may only enter one picture per contest, if you have more than one in your post, please specify which one you are entering.

3. If at all possible, list settings used to take it. (Camera, lens, date taken, time (even if vague, early afternoon, late evening, etc), ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.) You can find most of this info in the properties of your picture if you forget what settings you used.

4. Editing is allowed, but if you choose to edit your picture please post the original too. Please tell us what you did to edit your picture, also! :)

5. If you don't have a blog, email one of us (our emails can be found on the 'About Us' page) and we will post it/link it up for you!

Today was another dreary rainy day, so I couldn't take a picture for you all this morning, but to our great excitement, it has now turned into the first snow of this winter!!! :D I love snow!


Since I couldn't get a golden hour picture, I'll post one from my archives, and as soon as I can, I'll replace it with one I take during the next two weeks. :)

I took this at camp in the beginning of October. SOOC.

Camera/Lens: Canon EOS Rebel T2i with 18-55mm Kit Lens

Date/Time Taken: October 8, 2011 Golden Hour

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/125

Aperture: 4.5

We're working on getting the winner's annouced for the past assignments, so stay tuned to see who wins! 

I hope you all have a lovely rest of the week!

Weekly Assignment: Coffee. (November 3 - November 18, 2011)

Hello there!! Hope you are having a great week!! :)
The assignment for this week is Coffee.
Think about what you want to get across in your shot: coffee as a social time, the aroma, the colors and tones, the process of making it, part of a busy day, etc.

1. The picture you submit must be taken by you between November 3, and November 18, 2011. The Linky will close Wednesday Nov. 17, so make sure you link up before then.

2. You may only enter one picture per contest, if you have more than one in your post, please specify which one you are entering.

3. If at all possible, list settings used to take it. (Camera, lens, date taken, time (even if vague, early afternoon, late evening, etc), ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.) You can find most of this info in the properties of your picture if you forget what settings you used.

My Assignment for this week:
Edited. How I edited it is I turned the contrast almost all the way, then I turned the color temperature all the way. So yeah :)

Original.

Well, I hope you have an awesome rest of the week!!! God bless you on your journey towards Him!
