Finding Beauty in the Little Things

In the Beginning...

The first post is a freebie right...?  Okay just checking.

Waaaaay back when Rose was in college (one month ago) she took a photography class. I had been interested in photography for a while, and even tried it, but didn't stick with it because I didn't have anyone to enjoy it with. I mean, my family said they liked my stuff and all that but they have to say that because they're my family right!?

When Rose took her photography class it got me thinking about it again. Her professor would assign these cool little photography challenges like: "this week I want you to take a picture of a square" and they had to go out and get the most creative picture of a square they could find. I thought that was awesome and I helped her any chance I could get. 

One night she came to visit me in Maryland and we were sitting on the couch watching TV. The night was beautiful. Full moon, lots of clouds, it was great. I stepped outside to take it all in and told her to grab her camera and see what we could get. I didn't have my own yet. We had no clue what we were doing so shutter speed, aperture, ISO, all of it was new to us so we go out into the night and use the guess and check method of photography. 

Click, decrease shutter speed. Click, too bright. Click, blurry. Click, ugh. Click, this sucks....

We didn't have a tripod or anything so we were taking pictures, in the dark, with huge shutter speeds, trying to get anything at all. We used this, very frustrating, method for a while until finally with the camera resting on my deck railing and Rose holding the camera as still as she possibly could, the stars (or clouds rather) alligned and she got it. The perfect shot...


No Photoshop was used in the making of this picture
Now I know the "perfect" shot is a bit subjective but to us it was. We hadn't been together that long and we had been taking pictures together for an even shorter time so it was almost a sign.

Of course her professor at college didn't assign a heart or cloud challenge for the week so, determined to use this "perfect" picture for something, I started brainstorming about starting a blog to show off our stuff. It may not be good as far as the pros go but we like it, we're proud of it, and we want to share it with you.

I hope this blog takes off and that many people can enjoy it for a long time. I know we enjoyed making it and this is only the beginning. Stay tuned for more adventures, stories, and of course, pictures!
