Summer Days Are Drifting Away



Hey lovelies ♥

It's been a while, I know... & I'm sorry.

But it's summer & I'm enjoying ever minute while I can before school starts.

The first picture I took while boating with friends & fam. & the second is of me driving my daddy's boat.

It was a fantastic day of swimming, tubing, eating, & being with the best people.

& the stunning sunset wasn't too bad either..

I hope all of you are enjoying your summer days as well, because before ya know it... August will be over :/

I know I'm gonna try to soak up as much sun as I can. 

Happy Wednesday!

Apologies&Baptism

All my lovely followers,

 I so greatly apologize for my absence and major slack on blogging!

It has been a crazy few weeks!

So much has happened & I've just been really busy with everything.

Promise to not do it again!

I've gathered many pictures & posts so I'll be posting often now (:

Anyways lets start with...

I GOT BAPTIZED!

For those of you who dont know what that is..

Since I am a Christian and a follower of Jesus Christ,

this is just a way of completely committing your life to God.

You make a covenant/promise that you will honor and serve God for the rest of your life.

If you have more questions about it, ask away!

It was an exciting/nervous day!

I got a lot of love & flowers from friends and family.

Here are pictures from the big day!

getting ready!

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! (:
