Monday's Musings: Snowy Memories of Mom

by Mary Denman   @MaryDenman

My gorgeous, loving mom

As many of you know, I lost my beloved mother in May of 2013. 

January of 2014 was my first birthday without her. I had no clue how difficult it would be. 

You see, back in January of 2013, I spent my actual birthday with mom in her hospital room. We joked about being together in a hospital 48 years prior. For my delivery. In a blizzard. In a blackout. Because the hospital was on auxiliary power, the elevator wasn't working . . . . My poor mom had to climb 5 flights of stairs. In full labor. With her fifth child. ME! 

I jokingly apologized for being such trouble. 

She apologized I had to spend my birthday in a hospital room with her. I told her there was no other place I'd rather be. And I meant it . . . . 

We lost her 3 months later. 

Photo Tip Friday: Learning to Deal with Over or Under Exposed Photos, Part 2

Belfort, France by Mary Denman Photography

Have you ever had photos that were washed out or too dark to really enjoy? Then you've had a problem with under or over exposed pictures.

Last week, I took a more technical approach. Learn about the relationship between ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed (Time) in Part 1. You'll find a link at the bottom of today's tip.

Today's tip is actually really simple and very easy to apply. 

It's understanding where your camera focuses and how that affects the exposure.Let's get started.
