Regency Gown.

So recently I have been making a Regency gown in co-op. It is quite fun to say I am making my own dress. However, it is even more fun to say I am making my

own gown. The best part? I am making my gown for a ball. Yes, a ball. It sounds so elegan

t and amazing! So, as I have much of it done, I wanted to post three picture taken of me some time last co-op. Glimpses of the messy sewing room (cleaned after we are done so the church shall not be stepping on pins or needles) are in the background.

Yes, it makes me look even shorter :p

Yes, I am standing on the table. It needs hemmed, and this proved to be the easiest way to get the job done :)

Another pictures :) I think the photographer was standing on the table this time...or at least a chair.

Photography

This afternoon I took the camera outside to practice my photography skills. I wanted to play with aperture...though I'm really not sure it worked. I decided in the end to play with a few on Photoshop and edit them...because I like to do that :)

Here is a lamp on he side of the house. It was one of the last pictures I took today, and kind of a random shot. Still, I toned down the saturation and upped the contrast. I think it looks kind of cool...

Here is an old bench. I lowered the saturation on this as well, trying to give it the sepia look.

Here is a thermometer. It's finally getting warm here! Photography wise; I was still playing with aperture . I wanted it to focus on the "80". It was a bit dark, but it did what I wanted it to, in essence.

And the animals :)

This is a picture of Toby. I wanted his eyes. He is so sweet.

And O'mally. He was not being cooperative. I edited his picture too (taking a plant off his nose, sharpening his face, upping the contrast...etc.) He's really cute ;)

And the Frog. Pascall by name :)

Not pictured: the fourtyish other pictures of "frog sitting still" - "frog gone" - repeat process.

Here is Pascall on Aly's shoulder :D

That is all I shall post currently. I have more flower pictures which may show up later :)

Spring Break

For Spring Break this year my sister and I packed and headed to our grandparents house! I was allowed to take the Cannon with me (the camera, not the kind that goes on a Pirate Ship) and have taken a few pictures. Well...maybe more than a few, but since there are less than a hundred, I think "few" is a decent term for my average amount ;) It's a good time to practice my photography! Still, I ended up shooting several over exposed (several in this sense meaning about ten. ~ Few=hundred; Several=ten. Aren't you getting this?) I have a few fun pictures as well. Don't worry, I'm not posting them all, but I thought I'd post some at least :)

This is Toby. I had to get at least one of him in here *grin*

This is O'mally and Papa. O'mally wanted inside. Papa could care less, or so it would seem. *wink*

Aly's latest fascination: tadpoles and frogs. Here are some of the tadpoles we found in the creak. She caught a frog today, but I have yet to get a picture. I shall eventually.

Three very pretty flowers! I've been practicing shooting on "manual" some, but I don't remember which ones were and which ones were not. I believe the last one was shot on manual, but the other two were not. Rather annoying that I can't keep up with my own setting.

And this is the same flower I showed first, only edited. I just kind of played with the background and then edited the flower itself a bit. Just playing with Photoshop tools. :)

All for now!
