Working on the project

This week's theme is called "Just For Fun." I have thought and thought about it.  I am sure I will have a gazillion good ideas next month, but I could only come up with a couple ideas.  At first, I pictured a my feet all nicely pedicured, toes in at an angle with a funky toe ring! JUST FOR FUN-- perfect! If I was going to wear a toe ring-that's exactly what I would be thinking as I put it on.  But..I chickened out.  I really don't want a picture of my feet- especially a close-up, on here and then printed in the book I am going to make when I am done!

Next, I thought-ok.. a cherry on top.  That will do.  So, I took the photos and then had the hardest time in post processing because I forgot to follow the "Rule of Thirds" when I was composing the shot.  In art and photography you are supposed to try to keep the subject in the crosshairs of a vertical/horizontal third if you imagine a grid over the image.  Of course, rules like that can be broken but typically, it is more visually pleasing.  So, I kept zooming in and trying to rotate the frame to get that stupid cherry in the right 1/3 but then I usually would have to crop too much off and not see the blue ice cream dish or it wasn't just right.....I finally ended up with this one and exported it, ready to upload to the blog but not LOVING it.  "Just for fun" haha- I went back into Lightroom and found a more pulled back shot..zoomed in and cropped really tight and also cropped SQUARE..and!!!!!!! found one I love! yay! It's so exciting when that happens :)

 So- here was the first run.. next post will be the final.
