So i kinda cheated again - i took this photo when it was **hometown** week. This is outside the Hockey Hall of Fame downtown. I thought the 1st photo was kinda funny and would look cool in b&w...
Manual | ISO400 | SS1/400 | f2.8 | natural light
This 2nd one has a lot of glare off of the windows. Does the glare bother you? i always tend to get glare - with eyeglasses too. Gotta work on eliminating that...

I snapped this while my ds just got off the rink. Ankle burner?!?!?...is that what they call it? He's just too cute. My 4 y.o on skates. What's even funnier is my 2 y.ol daughter on skates...and let me tell you, she has better balance than i do =).
I love the composition of this photo even though it's really soft. I tried to save it and ran USM...
Any HHCC appreciated and welcome!!

...yes i hand held this...should have bumped up that ISO!!
This is our little athlete of the house - you'll be seeing him a lot this week ;) . Ever since he was 9 months he has been infatuated with balls. This was taken in the summer but thought i'd convert it to b&w.
Both are the same photo - cropped, resized for web and added border. One i applied Noiseware, the other i didn't. Did i need to? Do you see a difference? I think maybe there wasn't any noise at that ISO - could that be why i don't noitce a difference?
They both have a different b&w tint to them (remember, ....i save before writing things down {{ughhhh}}). Both are the same photo, slightly different crop, slightly different b&w conversion.

....equals snow. Does that count as a form of water? Our first real snowfall so we thought we'd take the kids toboganning...
They looked so funny...they wanted to wear our snowboarding 'Gobbles' which were obviously way TOOOO big on them...but they didn't care - it made the snow orange for her and purple for him....they LOVED it. The last pic is too funny...you can't even see her eys but everytime i tried to fix those goggles she'd scream, 'No mommy...NO!!...MY gobbles!!'.
I think when i tried to convert some of the photos to b&w the white got all blown out. Any suggestions on the best way to convert snow to b&w? HHCC always appreciated and welcome =).
All shots were:

This is from last year when we went down south to the Dominican with the kiddos. I was digging around for a water photo to post and this is what i found. I love this shot - i like the wind blowing in my little E's hair and how she's holding her hand out and reaching for mommy =). We took a family vacation just before i went back to work...she just turned 1 here. Can't believe how much she's grown....
Don't have the settings - taken with my p&s before my DSLR. Trying out a conversion i found on 2peas for a soft light/color effect.
I normally don't venture off of the Weekly Challenge topic and I know this has nothing to do with water but i saw my ds playing with his planes (...such a boy thing) and had to take pictures!! This is my first attempt at some sort of story board - i think the pictures just called out, 'group us together!!'

So i guess you can tell i didn't take this today- but it has water!! Taken with my p&s - before i got my DSLR so i won't write the settings down. This is a photo of my goddaughter from the summer that i thought i'd try and convert it. Whenever i do a conversion i just play with all the sliders until i get something i like. That's my problem...i can never do the same conversion over!! I really like the conversion on the faucet water i posted from a few days ago but i can't remember the numbers that i used for it....AND i flatten all my photos before saving so i don't even have the .PSD files to go back and check. So, now i'm trying to write things down. Yesterday's conversion seemed like it didn't have enough tones in it. I don't know...what do you prefer? monday, tues, wed or this?
Tried it again...with a flash. I think the pictures came out better than yesterday's post. HHCC always appreciated!!

we love bathtime in this house!! Had the kids pour water all over each other while they were taking a bath. By the time they were done everything in the bathroom was soaked. I kept encouraging them, 'pour it higher! splash harder! '. They were probably wondering why mommy didn't care they were making a huge mess and getting everything wet. Funny how they noticed that everytime i saw a big wave coming, mommy backed off with her camera -- 'NO...no!! not the camera!!'. lol!!!
The kids' bathroom has the worst light in the house - it's the only room that doesn't have a window...and to top it off, i didn't use a flash. I think i'm gonna have to try these shots again later on this week.

Nothing exciting today - just my kitchen faucet and trying to catch some droplets.
Resized, sharpened and converted to b&w - again....yup, still working away at those conversions!!
