Searching for Light





I'm definitely off theme today!
It's dark when we are home in the morning and pretty much dark by the time we get home at night. I might have to learn how to use a speedlite to keep up with the POTD!! Tried taking pictures of Kate and me using tripod and timer, but they were pretty scarey looking. So, I'll settle today with a 6 year old doing a goofy smile. Also adding a few photos from Meg's 9th birthday this weekend (mostly because I feel guilty that I haven't put in a photo of her yet). I'm not happy with the close-up of Meg. Again -lighting issues. Oh well!

Yummy looking cupcakes! I really like the lighting in the first cupcake shot. Nice job.

Also wanted to say I love the concentration on your dd's face playing the guitar game.

Light in the winter can just be a big ol pain, huh?

The frosting on those cupcakes almost looks fake because it's so perfect. They also look delicious...can you tell I'm a bit snacky right now?

where exactly do you live? Are you in AK by chance? my family live up in Point Barrow (north pole) and say there is no daylight much anymore

Mom2Drew said...

Those cupcakes are making me hungry. Is it lunchtime yet?

Becky said...

Beautiful cupcakes! We're low on light around here too. I'll never forget the look on my friend's face when she moved here and I told her it gets dark at 4 p.m.

Great pics Debbi! Meg looks so much like Abby in that picture!

Yvonne said...

Love your pictures!! The second one is really good, I became all of a sudden really hungry! I love the last shot too.... maybe you could crop it a little so the left bottom would not draw that much attention! Hope you are not offended that I give this little advice! It's just what I would do, the rest of the picture is so beautiful that it kind of takes away the attention!
