Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a good week!
Today, I'm celebrating our family trip to the Dallas Arboretum. Mister took the day off from work, and we checked out the great pumpkin displays that were staggered all through the arboretum. I took a ton of pictures, but was disappointed to find they didn't turn out very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong, since I put the camera on the auto setting... Guess I'll have to break down and read the instruction manual!
Anyway, here are some of the pictures--just imagine a sunny day and brighter colors! :)
Hope you have a good weekend! I'm going for a haircut--I haven't had one in ages, and I desperately need one! What are your plans?
If you've been reading my blog, you know that Fridays are reserved for a post where I celebrate the little things that have happened during the week. This is a blog hop created by Vikki and now hosted by Lexa Cain, and it's one of my favorite blogging things to do. I encourage you to check out her blog and the full list of participants, because who doesn't love reading about good things?
Ooo, haircut! I love getting a hair cut. It's one of the few times I can focus on me and it really helps me feel good about myself. Hope you have fun!
ReplyDeleteThe pics look great. Seems like it was a fun tiem.
We did have fun, and I'm really looking forward to the haircut! :)
DeleteThe pictures are not bad. Some are underexposed a little and it seems as if the ISO was raised instead of enabling the flash. When the ISO is raised too much it creates grainy photos. Were you using a DSLR? I suspect it needed flash in the shadowy areas but usually the DSLRs turn it on automatically. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips, Aura! Yes, I was using a DSLR. I had hoped that by putting it on the auto setting it would adjust the ISO levels appropriately, but I guess not... I inherited the camera from my Dad and took a crash course in using it last year, but I have lost my notes :( I'm going to have to play around with it on some low-stakes pictures to make sure I can get it right next time!
DeleteEven with the lighting, good pictures, and hope you can figure out how to work the camera the way you want.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Practice makes perfect! :)
DeleteI didn't know pumpkins even came in those colors! Your pics were good enough for me to see everything. I'm such a control freak I cut and color my own hair. lol I hope you love your new cut! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I was surprised by the variety in all the pumpkins too!
DeleteJust got my four pumpkins for the front yard. Love the photos. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright, orange-y colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeless case when it comes to photos... lol
Getting a haircut is always something to celebrate! Pumpkins too...
ReplyDeleteI just love looking at pumpkins. They're so cheerful. Glad to hear you guys had a good day even if the camera decided to give ya trouble. Still very pretty pics!
