Bee Happy

Hey lovelies.

It's been awhile,

again...

I guess I'm just one busy bee.

(;

I took these less than an hour ago.

My dad's a beekeeper & there are tons of bee hives outside of my house.

They are loving the blossoming apple orchard also in our backyard.

Yeah, I'm brave enough to go outside when thousands of these little workers are flying around (;

Hope y'all like it &

Happy Saturday!

Long Exposure: Water

To my 51 followers and readers,

yes that's a big number for me! (:

Thanks for being patient with my delayed posting.

It was/is a busy week & weekend, so I could barely catch the time to blog.

I need to get back into this. Missed it reading comments and finding new blogs!

Here's just a little something:

I took these over the weekend for a photography project.

Our assignment:

To take a long exposure photograph.

Long exposure just means that the shutter in the camera is opened for a longer period of time so more light gets in. This prolonged capture takes in the movement of water and blurs it creating the above effects.

The shutter speed should be below 1/15 of a second. For example: I took one of these photos for 13 secondss. (Tripod must be used!)

For those of you who dont understand photography talk, dont mind it.

Just throwing out there what I learn (:

It's actually pretty neat to learn about it & it was fun to take these pictures.

A little simple creek/stream by my house turned out to be so pretty.

P.S. Man I've been so busy this week I forgot to put my little GloriaZaytsevPhotography logo on the pictures.

Oh Well! (:

Take A Moment & Smell The Flowers

These flower photos are from the same day as Coffee&Cupcakes.

I just decided to break up the post.

& I thought, hmm, with all these flowers blooming, why not?

what is your favorite flower?



Rain & Sun

yesterday's weather;

rain & sun occasionally make a perfect combination:

In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, maybe there will be a pot of gold and a leprechaun at the end of the rainbow (:

Landscape

• photography class always fills me up with projects
• my current one is landscape photography
• so i took a few. (aren't the best)
• but i worked with what i captured.
• the requirements for a landscape shot are:

-horizon line

                                     -foreground, midground, background

              -& composition is key 

• here are the one's that i think turned out the best:
• which one should i turn in?

i think the first one is my favorite, because it's not your "typical" landscape photo.

Bird-Watching

I was just minding my own business.

But those pesky birds outside wouldn't stop chirping.

They were enjoying the sunshine that finally decided to come out.

& they also love our Holly shrubs that grow outside.

They eat the berries.

It was time to take out my camera.

I captured a few shots.

It was hard not to scare them away.

I would come out to the porch, & they would fly away.

& the second I left they would fly back for their lunch snack.

 

These were just my favorite shots.

 I got a lot more, but decided to keep it short n' sweet (:

Sky High...

I was walking down my driveway as the school bus dropped me off & was stunned speechless by the amazing, patterned sky that was before me.

I tried my best to capture the beauty I saw.

Maybe it was a "just had to be there" kind of moment, but here you go anways:

Gotta love God's creation. (:

Purple

I never knew there was this strange purple-lettuce plant growing in a flower pot outside the front door.

It's always good to go browsing outside & see what you find. (:
