Post Game Fun

 Superbowl 46 is over. Giants Win! We were not tired. I decided to have some fun with the girls. We made light art with the camera. They had a blast and we have some great artists. I did the girls' names, a flower, and a dinosaur. They did the rest!

Camera settings were f/8, ISO 100, Shutter Speed 8 seconds to 15 seconds depending on what they were drawing. Some darkening and cropping and mirroring post processing.  We have multi-colored post it notes. We would just rubber band what color we wanted over the light. Too fun!
























Super Bowl XLVI

Indianapolis is full of fun and football, celebrities, and good times. Non of which I have participated in. I have the big game on the TV right now, but I'm just half listening, only turning to watch when a commercial pops on.  I am not a football fan, or a sports fan for that matter, but it is fun to know it's in Indianapolis. The kids have tomorrow off from school so they have a friend over for the evening. They were excited at first, but quickly lost interest. One thing they thought was cool was Kelly Clarkson singing with the ICC (Indianapolis Children's Choir.) This is the choir they were just accepted to. This really pumped them up and they did a fantastic job.

If I were interested, I believe I would cheer on the Giants. And of course, they are, at this moment, down by 7. Oh well.

I have been passing the time playing with my camera. The sky is crystal clear and the moon is beautiful. Here are some pictures I took a few moments ago. I recently downloaded a 30 day trial version of Adobe Lightroom 3. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun to play with. I also joined a forum that had a little bit of guidance on moon shots. This forum also has an ebook on post processing. If I decided to buy the full version, I will probably purchase the ebook also, but I'm still weighing that decision and if it's worth the money or not. Any input on this would be very helpful!

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend! It was a particularly good one with the weather being so warm and the talk of all the downtown festivities.

I'm going to relax and watch the game. The girls are quieting down now so I'm going to enjoy the quiet.

Go Giants!
