November 30th Photo…Last day in the November challenge!

Here is my final picture post for this month….

 

That’s Santa in the background, if you can’t tell

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d like to thank all of you for keeping up with this challenge and for sharing comments and tips.  I have learned so much this month about taking pictures….I’m remembering November 2nd being my first manual mode experience….and it just got better from there.

Please keep posting pics, and I hope we’ll do this challenge again in a couple months when the seasons have changed again!

November 29th Photo

This is my favourite Christmas ornament….it’s been mine ever since I can remember….and it plays a tune as well!  Tried to capture it on video, but it sounds so irritating that it would do no one any good by watching it

 

November 28th Photos

Today I was at a Christmas dinner…and it was good!

So here are some pictures….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s an eighth note!

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas

November 26th Photo…yummy.

I’ve been meaning to do a food shot at some point this evening….and today’s dinner ended up looking really gross (tasted AMAZING, for the record) so I thought why not??

 

Mac n’ cheese, chipotle meatballs, butter chicken, and yummy toasted breadsticks….

 

 

 

 

 

 

What did you have for dinner and was it worth photographing?

 

Cheers

November 25th Photos – Snow Edition!

Since it snowed, it stuck, and is not scheduled to stay….

 

Also, a little further down, I wrote “WWJD” but then there were a couple people walking behind me, so I decided to carry on….but the message is there!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found it kinda funny that this tree still has orange leaves on it, even though they are covered in snow!

November 24th Photo

Wasn’t quite sure what to shoot today…didn’t see anything that particularly caught my eye.  Sure, the mountains and sky were pretty, but that was yesterday’s post….so today you get a little glimpse of my bedroom!

November 23rd Photos

Got some good shots today, and was thankful that the wind calmed down….

First of all, I did a self portrait to show what I looked like when taking these pictures….

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I was still wishing I had put on a few more layers….brr!

 

 

 

Now onto the real photography from today!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quite often I see pictures people have posted who live on promontory looking down at the land below….well folks, here’s what Promontory looks like from down below!

I don’t really have much to say about today’s pics, other than I am quite proud of how they turned out.  What do you people think?

November 22nd Photos

Today’s shots are brought to you by fast, cold winds slapping me in the face so that I can’t see what I’m shooting!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was supposed to be a lot more detail in the sky here, couldn’t seem to get the camera to pick it up….though I like the silhouette effect.
