Halloween Pic of the Day - Day 13

 In honor the Walking Dead show that is back on TV (according to many friends post on FB) lol

 

Halloween pic of the day - Day 12

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was that it looked like Ben Stiller if he were to ever play Frankenstein lol

 

Aqua filter version

Halloween pic of the day - Day 11

This is a poster that was hanging on a door at my friends house.

Halloween pic of the Day - Day 10

I was over my friends house & she had this poster from dollar tree on her door & I used my negative filter on my camera phone to create this glowing effect.  The photo on the right is what the original looks like, but I like the negative effect one better!

Halloween Pic of the Day - Day 9

I drove past this house several times in Hawthorne & couldn't believe all of the ghouls that they had on their lawn including by their front door.  

I guess they really don't want anybody to come over lol

Halloween Pic of the Day - Days 7 & 8

Day 7 is a picture of my brother's cat Freya who is hard to get a picture of because she never sits still long enough lol

 

 

 

 

Day 8 is a picture I took while I was in Party City & when I saw this it made me laugh & the only thing I cringed at was the $34.99 price tag!  smh lol

Halloween Pic of the Day - Day 6

I also saw this in the supermarket & thought of my father because that was his nickname that he got growing up & it stuck with him for the rest of his life!

Halloween Pic of the Day - Day 5

I Didn't get a chance to post yesterdays picture, but to make up for it I'm posting a video instead!

I was at the supermarket when I saw this mummy & it had a push button which of course I had to press.  I think though I'm going to wait until after Halloween to buy it when it'll be half price lol

Halloween Pic of the Day - Days 3 & 4

I posted these days pics on instagram & realized I forgot to post to the blog.

Day 3 is a picture of Boo Berry cereal which I love to eat this time of year.  This vintage packaging of the ghost that they now have out at Target this year is actually more mellow looking than scary

Day 4 is a picture that I thought complimented & goes well with day three.  

Halloween Pic of the Day - Day 2

Bought this light pumpkin that sits in my office for $3 at Target.

Halloween Pic of the Day - Day1

I decided to give myself a new challenge this month & take something Halloween related.  Today's picture is a pic collage of colorful glass bottles I bought from Christmas Tree Shop for $1 each.

Hump Day

I realized its been a long time since I posted a picture on here, I've been busy with job promotion  & family stuff.  

I also was shopping around for a new camera and ended up getting the Canon Rebel T5I which I like & has me feeling a little more inspired again.  

Ironically the photo I'm posting today was taken with my camera phone lol !

This was taken outside of the Cliffside Park Public Library.

I'm going to try my best to post pictures here more often because there is so much to see and its nice to take moment to capture it!

Rocky

So what does one do when you have a bunch of rocks that you've been collecting since you were younger and never really displayed them and had an Ikea item that you can't return because its not in the system anymore so its yours to keep.   

You create this:

A shadow box for my rocks!

 

It felt good to get a little crafty again, it has been awhile for me!

Pretty Lights

I love frozen yogurt & was at Yapple's in Westfield catching up with a friend I haven't seen in a while.  There are several fro yo places to choose from, but my friend said this one had cool psychedelic lights that I would like and she had me at that.  These are really cool & I wished I had them in my house!

When I was donating blood today you have to fill our a questionnaire about if you have ever been out of the country in the past three years and the nurse asked me where I was.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 16 Experimenting with light

This photo was taken to create the effect of turning night into day. I took this picture with a high ISO & a long exposure .

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 15 - Whatever you Want

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 14 - Focusing on Eyes

I love green eyes, especially Sebastian's eyes and in this photo I love how they have little bit of the reflection of the TV or another light reflecting off of them.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 13 - Photo Edit you Like

A lot of times I use photo shop to tweak some of the photos I use when I have an exhibit coming up. Sometimes its just a simple edit like levels or curves to even out the tone. Other times I like to use other photo edits such as:

Clone tool/ patch tool

I took this pic in Martha's Vineyard & liked just the four boats & used the clone tool and patch tool to get rid of the back boat and some of the extra rope.

Vibrancy Tool

I took this pic on a hike in Speculator, NY and wanted brighten it up a bit because the original was hazy and muted.



30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 12 - Same Shot Different Light

This is the same shot as yesterday but in sepia tone. I actually like the tone and texture of the trees in this shot versus the black and white. Makes me want to take more sepia toned photos.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 11 - Black & White

Black & white photography is something I usually don't do very often, but I do have a few in my collection that I like including this photo.

I took on a stop over in Indiana overlooking one of the great lakes on a trip driving to Mt Rushmore.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Days 9 & 10

The reason why there wasn't a post yesterday was: A: I wasn't feel well yesterday, B: I was busy watching Golden Globes, and C: I honestly forgot! So here are the past two days:

Day 9 - Something from a distance

This pictures was taken looking in the distance of a path at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ

Day 10 - Whatever you want

Today is another day where I get to post what I want so today is a photo that I took of a peacock feather and then did a photoshop effect to it by solarizing it and then making it pixelated.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 8 - Something Close Up

This is the bottom of a soda bottle, I loved the color & texture of the photo.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 7 - Silhouette

I had taken this picture a few years ago at one of my old jobs. I remember walking into the office one day & as I approached my desk & looked on the floor I noticed how the way the papers were stacked on my desk created this face in the shadows on the floor & the garbage can created the neck of the face.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 6 - From a Low Angle

This was taken inside the lobby of Radio City Music Hall when I went to see the Rockettes last month.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 5 - Whatever you Want

Since its whatever I want today of course I'm going to have a picture of Sebastian the best cat ever! lol For Christmas I got an electric blanket (best gift ever) in white so I never see cat hair too. Sebastian loves it & its so cute because he blends in with the blanket. Its cat camouflage!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 4 - From a high angle

This photo was taken on my honeymoon cruise on in my room balcony looking down at the lower decks & the ocean!
