Waiting for Spring

  • by

We’re waiting, but the weather is not cooperating. We’ve had about 8-9 more inches of snow since I took these photos yesterday morning.

Fortunately we’ve not lost power, and the snow hasn’t prevented me from getting to a concert at the Rochester Philharmonic last night, or to a Church Leadership Conference this morning. Tracy used the snow blower three times yesterday, and again this morning.

The Friday challenge on my photo board this week was “vintage.” I used an antique cup that belonged to my great-aunts and put it on a beautiful hand-embroidered tablecloth that was made as a wedding gift to my parents. I used it as an opportunity to work on the fourth Develop on Friday lesson on changing your angle. Here are my two favorites.

I’m way behind in reading blogs, so I know there’s new Develop on Friday lesson ready to try this week. I’ve just about finished all the lessons for Jessica Spragues’s Wacom Tablet course. I didn’t do the layouts since I’m not interested in doing that kind of total digital layout, but I will certainly use many of the techniques she demonstrated. One of the lessons was on photo editing a portrait, and the results were incredible. I have to say her courses provide a lot of “bang for the buck!” My goal was to learn to use my pen and tablet, and I’ve been using them exclusively since the first week of class.

  1. I love the last picture taken from up top, looking down. The lines are so wonderful, and I love the way they lead to the flowers trailing off the table cloth.

  2. It’s so fascinating to see these from different angles.
    Am just about to start my Jessica Sprague photo editing course…..looking forward to it.

  3. Your snow photos are great but I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of more snow! Surely Spring has to be just round the corner 🙂
    I like the way you’ve used different angles for your teacup photos, I like both too!
