This time of year when life is a bit quieter…I like to actually give my kids a break (not a long break) from the camera and photograph a few random images….well here is a bit of random for you….thought they were fitting for this time of year. Have a wonderful weekend!
   Bokeh Taken from Wikipedia:
In photography, bokeh, boh-kay and also heard as BOH-ka is the blur or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or “the way the lens renders the out-of-focus points of light”.
Here is my version of Bokeh… is it highly original? Not so much…does it represent “bokeh”??? I think/hope so.
 Now head on over to the fabulous Elizabeth McDonough at www.elizabethmcdonoughphotography/blog/ to check out her interpretation of this week’s challenge!
 16 comments That is awesome! I love how big your bokeh is! i just LOVE the contrasting colors in this shot, and the way the lights look like they are steam rising up out of your coffee cup! beautiful work once again, kate! WOW. just wow. love the simplicity of this moment. and the colors are really cool. love it. Well shoot, I think this is highly original. You should take a framed one to your local coffeehouse with some of your cards! I love how the lights look they they are floating right out of the cup. This is beautiful! this is incredible, so creative, so beautiful visually – the contrasting colors, textures, brightness, magical feeling of the bokeh. you did a lovely and original job, kate! What great use of placed/controlled bokeh! And the colors in this are just to die for! Love. Stunning image! Love the steam…my favorite part! I actually think this is very creative! I love it!! How fantastic that the light bokeh in the back looks as if it’s coming out of the cup with the steam. Cleaver! LOVE this! love this image kate!!! i love this! i haven’t seen this one done with such vivid colors. it’s a cool take on the out of cup shot. I’m giggling because I thought of this same concept for this week (but didn’t do it). And you carried it out so beautifully. Love the red. Darling, I can’t believe that this is the first time I’ve looked at your blog since Christmas! But I get to see all the wonderful photos at once. And I agree with you, the new camera is fabulous! I’d love to have some “in the moment” shots of the kids… And the “eyes” picture of Izzy is beautiful — just like every other photo of her! Have I told you lately that I really appreciate everything you do? Love you lots!! Absolutely love this image, love the red. Great job Kate! Well today is my 43rd birthday and I have to say it’s been pretty great! One of my New Year’s resolutions this year (o.k. every year) is really trying to capture moments and not just set up shots of my kiddos. I get so frustrated with myself that I feel this need that every photo has to look great (clothes, hair, etc..) and in the meantime I am missing out on capturing real moments of my kids. I am not one to drag my main camera around with me everywhere so my wonderful husband took it upon himself to get me a fabulous point & shoot for my birthday! I am so excited to use it! You may now start seeing some less than fabulous photos on my blog shot with my new camera but I am hoping to capture the little, everyday moments with my kiddos. A few fun birthday gifts… 1. wine for this evening…yay! 2. new lip gloss…thank you “J”!!! LOVE this gift!!! 3. cake pops from my 4 year old (which of course I purchased)
3 comments WHAT LOVELY LOVELY birthday gifts!!! I am so thrilled that you are going to capture EVERYDAY moments ALONG WITH your wonderfully styled photo shoots. WIN WIN!!! I am so looking forward to your year long project with your new camera… and my it is cute! I hope you have the most amazing year ever! HAPPY 43!!!!!!!!xoxoxoxo Muchas felicidades! Que tengas un año y muchos más magnífico. Happy Birthday to fabulous you … looks like you’ve had a pretty special day!!! Can’t wait to see all of your “everyday” shots! Cheers to celebrating many more! xoxo When it’s cold outside and business doesn’t pick up until spring what is a girl to do???? Craft projects of course!! I have been busy making cute Valentine’s Day hats (pattern can be found at the fabulous Snazziedrawers), knitting up hats and scarves galore, trying to learn how to sew (hoping to share some finished projects soon) and painting little wooden people for my kiddos the first set is supposed to be me and my hubs (per my daughters request) and the second set is supposed to be the Harry Potter trio, they are a bit sloppy…. I do not claim to be even remotely good at any of these crafts (especially the painting of wooden people) but I am having lots of fun!! Enjoy your weekend!
3 comments Love them!! That wool looks just gorgeous – and we have a set of wooden figures that need painting too – you’ve inspired me!! ohhhh just stop— this is CUTE OVERLOAD!!!!!!!! I love them all. You always say that you aren’t crafty, but I say you are AMAZINGLY CRAFTY! I could never make those hats. So much gorgeous detail. THEY are soooo cute! I love the little dolls too. love the dogfish head!! lol (my husband is partial to stone brewery, though) What can I say??? I ADORE photographing this gorgeous little lady! Not only is she beautiful but she is as sweet as can be! Thanks Miss P for a fun afternoon!
4 comments LOVE LOVE LOVE … Miss P looks so adorable These are gorgeous – such beautiful light! too gorgeous for words!!!! Stunning! You really can tell you specialize in kids. Absolutely first class. She is a beautiful kid but these pictures are perfect! I had great aspirations for this weeks challenge which is “eyes”….unfortunately, uncooperative kiddos (mine of course) and not so great weather left me scurrying to get a shot today…. this is definitely not a favorite photo of my girl but I do still love her brown with (flecks of gold) eyes….she has always been an old soul to me and I think her eyes reflect that… Be sure to check out the fabulous Traca Miller for her take on the 52 Week Challenge!
13 comments Great Eyes!!! Very pretty! I love the touch of red – it’s my favorite color! Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful eyes, beautiful girl. Gorgeous image!! Love your processing!!! GORG. love the pop of color What a lovely daughter you have! Beautiful capture. =) your daughter is a gorgeous girl, and i’d imagine she’s never taken a bad picture! in this image, i’m particularly fond of all the shades of gray, offset by the vivid reds… Wow! This is a stunning photo of your daughter. Her eyes are lovely. Gorgeous! The colors are beautiful in this pic! Love your processing as well and she is beautiful. Amazing how you take photos, I am very impressed by your work. man oh man she is beautiful. such a little girl and such a little lady… she is just stunning. Here is to a new year and new resolutions….I am going to give the 52 Week Challenge another try. I only lasted a few weeks last year but this year I am determined to see it through. I am with a wonderful group of photographers that will hopefully keep me accountable. First thing EVERY morning my 4 year old asks to play my iPad so here he is early in the morning, crazy bed head and all! Please check out the blog of Heather Bowser to see her interpretation of the “Morning Challenge”: http://www.alloursphotography.blogspot.com/
