365 Project -- #316-322

This is the time in my week when I look back at the images I've captured
throughout the previous week, and choose my seven favorites.
These seven--one for each day of the week--are featured below.


November 12 - November 18

Slow is a good word to describe last week, photographically speaking.  Ellie sat a lot, but that's okay--I was busy in the home, which I like to be, and didn't get much chance (or didn't think about it much) to pull her out and take pictures.  I have a few random shots of those few times I did get Ellie out, and then a small event with our son, Jacob.

Soooo...I made pico de gallo with most of the rest of my garden tomatoes that had ripened.  I ended up with about eight cups of salsa, which we enjoyed throughout the week.

Okay, the below is a really bizarre shot.  One night we noticed that the moon was really low, heavy and full in the sky.  I've experimented with moon shots before, so I figured I'd do so again.  After trying different angles and exposures, I finally just set Ellie at f40 and took a 25-second exposure.  In post-edit, I had to jack up the fill light to see everything, and this is what I ended up with.  (The white streak is what showed up from a plane flying by.)

The rest of the images below were taken at our son Jacob's induction ceremony for Phi Theta Kappa (honor society for two-year colleges).  We're so proud of his hard work at school, and we're really hoping that his brother Danny will follow in his footsteps.  We met a couple other homeschool graduates after the ceremony, and enjoyed some fantastic appetizers made by the Joliet Junior College culinary students.

That was a very nice ending to our week!  This week I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving; I'm determined to take as many pictures of family as food!  Plus, we're going on a crazy trip to Wisconsin with dear friends to get a Christmas tree.  I know for sure Ellie will produce a bonanza of great images this upcoming week!


Treasuring life's moments,

  3. Congratulations to Jacob. I haven't taken a lot of pictures this week either, but I am really hoping I remember to take pictures of baking tomorrow and Thanksgiving day. :)
