Meringues!

This morning I was really in the mood to bake something, and I had some meringue powder lying around, so naturally I decided to make meringues!  Here are some photos of the final product:

And yes, they were delicious. 

Let's go to the beach, each

This past weekend I was at the beach for a youth group retreat, and brought my nifty fifty and camera along to take some pictures. I mostly took landscape photos, but I also captured a few detail shots. Here they are for your viewing pleasure!

Night Photography

For our most recent class assignment, we practiced night photography, and compiling HDR images. An HDR image is created by using a tripod and taking three photographs; one that is underexposed, one that is properly exposed, and one that is overexposed.  Then, these photographs are layered on top of each other in photoshop to create an image with great detail. I had trouble with taking properly focused photos in this assignment, due to the fact it was dark out, and I couldn't see to focus. 

This is my HDR photograph, by making and HDR photo, it allowed both the stars and the tree to be exposed and visible.

Snow Bubbles

So today we had the day off from school (woohoo!), because we got around eight inches of snow! It was great, and I decided to take some pictures. I had some bubbles lying around, so I had my sister go outside and blow the bubbles for me to photograph. We were hoping they would freeze, but it wasn't quite cold enough for that. Here are how they turned out:

She went to blow the bubble, but the the wind blew it right back towards her mouth!

If you look closely, then you can see there is a bubble stuck to her cheek...
