Guess what's going on at my place? by joansmor

Guess what's going on at my place?

Yep, the savings is taking a big hit this week. OUCH! This is my last big project before retirement. Now I feel the house is in good shape for me to enjoy. BUt the big thing today is I had a big ahah moment. I have been playing with histogram and on dreary days like we've had recently, I have been very frustrated. But today I go it right. Well maybe not perfect but not a black blob. Busy evening already helping a friend post her picture for her avatar on Weight watches, answering a friends question, and working on my pictures. Going to try to get some commenting done but not easy Two cuddled on my arms. LOL
this is a very crisp shot
uh that's a hose there on the lower left right, not a snake?

Nicely captured and great processing!

Such a busy lady...what are you doing? This looks like demo work...what is being redone?
November 6th, 2014  
New roof? In spite of the hit to your savings and the mess of construction, it's worth it in the end. Great shot.
November 6th, 2014  
Ugh! Hate this part of a project! But you did indeed capture it well! What did you do to improve your histogram?
November 6th, 2014  
captured the happenings perfectly
so a party?? Ha ha

Don't you just hate spending money on such things! Well focused shot!
November 6th, 2014  
I would guess new roof too. Great shot of filled dumpster.
November 6th, 2014  
That's a lot of rubbish. What are you having done?
November 6th, 2014  
Boy, that brings back memories and I'm so glad we're done with our demolition. Once it's done you'll love it Joan! A wonderful shot that will always remind you of a job well done!
November 6th, 2014  
Know the feeling. Hope your builders don't take as long as ours did!
November 6th, 2014  
Great dumpster shot - it's very full! Roof project? That's next on my list after just having replaced all of my 90 year old windows. I'm noticing the improvement in heat retention already.

Great capture. Fav

@shesnapped I moved to manual rather than Aperture or shutter priority. then said this is dark I need to keep the shutter open for a longer period, need a higher ISO and a Fstop that I hoped would work. The first picture there was the light I was looking for and there was a more rounded histogram instead of one mostly on the dark side. I tried using manual before and I was so uninformed my mentor said to use AV but now I think in some cases he has given me the confidence to go to manual. I am such a visual person that the histogram speaks to me more than all the talk about when to use what fstop. etc. I understand enough to move things to adjust my histogram. Getting there.

@aponi You know I hadn't even noticed that. But I had a picture of that board because I was playing with leading line and it is indeed a hose. I knew it had to be as cold as it was but really it scared even me when I saw it.
November 6th, 2014  
I like the darkness of it, histogram, another thing I've never heard of.
November 6th, 2014  
Good luck with your roof project! Yuk. I hope you had a great time with your "chores" and with Two cuddles. :)
November 6th, 2014  
PS I really like the color on this photo. Well done!!!

@kt8ird One of my chores was responding to your email. Did you get it.
November 6th, 2014  
@joansmor Logging in now. I feel asleep at 8:30!!
November 6th, 2014  
@kt8ird Been there done that.
November 6th, 2014  
How exciting for you Joan, hope we will see the end result.
November 6th, 2014  
Fun...looks like it is in progress!
November 6th, 2014  
Jo
Looks like a big job.
November 6th, 2014  
It's always good to renovate! Haha, my cat sleeps on my arm when I am commenting - gets rather heavy! Lovely image - well done!
November 6th, 2014  
What a lovely thing to be able to do. Great capture of all the upheaval.
November 6th, 2014  
New roof?
November 6th, 2014  
reading your description I had an image of that hindu deity with all the arms... (oh and like the picture)

You are a busy lady Joan. Work and then up on the roof. An interesting and different shot.
