Faces: Week 20 {Silhouette}

My hubby goofing around.

This was really the first time I tried getting a silhouette.

We had fun with it!

Wisconsin Lighthouse {Kewaunee Pierhead}

Continuing with my lighthouse photos from my April trip. This is the Kewaunee Pierhead Lighthouse.

I was playing around with the first image and solarized it. I really like the way it turned out.

Faces: Week 19 Blurb Book Contest

I am submitting this photo into the http://www.iheartfaces.com/ Blurb Book photo contest. I am granting I ♥ Faces permission to use my photo in a printed version of a book for commercial use and possibly advertising of a photo book on both the Blurb and I ♥ Faces web sites.

Wisconsin Lighthouse {Rawley Point}

Rawley Point Lighthouse is the 5th one we visited on our trip in April. It's located in the Point Beach State Park. The house on this one looked as if it was occupied. You were not able to go past a certain point and had to follow a path around it to get to the beach area.

How would you like to have this view in your backyard?

Wisconsin Lighthouse {Two Rivers}

The 4th lighthouse we visited was the Two Rivers Lighthouse. This one surprised me a bit. It was like right in the middle of town and was on the bank of the river. I guess I just naturally think of a larger body of water when I think of a lighthouse.

Wisconsin Lighthouse {Manitowoc Breakwater}

Stop number 3 on the lighthouse tour takes us to Manitowoc, WI. I'm much happier with the way these turned out than the last two.

Photo Hunt: Protect(ion)

Umbrella

The perfect protection when looking for worms!

Wisconsin Lighthouse {Sheboygan Breakwater}

The second stop on our lighthouse tour was at the Sheboygan Breakwater lighthouse. Again we couldn't get very close. As you can see the water was really splashing up. So needless to say, I'm a little disappointed with the photos I got.

Here's my poor daughter, freezing! She's the one who claims she's never cold.

Wisconsin Lighthouse {Port Washington Breakwater}

Here's the first of my lighthouse photos from our road trip last week. That first day the weather wasn't all that great and it prevented us from getting very close on a couple. This was one of them. It was so cold and windy that the water was very choppy and blowing up over the area you could walk out. None of us wanted to get soaked on top of being so cold!! This is the best shot I got of this one.

Faces: Week 15 Self Portrait

This week's theme at iheartfaces self portrait. To enter this week you have to take a photo of yourself while holding the camera. No use of tripods. If you want proof that I did just look into my sunglasses! :-)

This was a hard one for me. It's hard enough looking at photos of me that others take but trying to take one myself that I'm OK with is something else! I deleted a lot of photos! Plus it ain't easy even getting a decent photo when you're blindly pointing the camera at yourself!

I took this one last week on our family road trip. I decided to use picnik this week and applied the Holga-ish effect. It replicates the effect of using a Holga camera
