Self Portrait ~Day 30 and the right white balance

This is my last picture for this project!

30 Days.

I was in a shaded area with a lot of sunlight behind me when I shot this.

I would usually have my camera set to Cloudy White Balance (White Balance determines how cool or warm a picture should be).

I forgot to change it and the white balance was set for full sun.

This is my picture set to the wrong white balance.

I had edited it before I realized I did not really like it and chose to change the white balance.

Here is another picture I took with only the white balanced fixed to cloudy.

No other touch ups were made.

Here is the original with no touch ups set to full sun.

Do you have a camera that lets you set the white balance?

Self Portrait ~Days 26 & 27

Day 26

Walking the couple feet to this retaining wall barefoot gave me the desire to do something I have never done.

Walk barefoot all over my yard.

So I did.

This might not seem like a big deal but we have had a run in with a copperhead, tarantulas, scorpions, and many big spiders, walking barefoot in my yard is an act of bravery (or stupidity…).

It took me back to my summers growing up in Indiana, warm grass and dirt under your feet is a beautiful thing.

Day 27

My husband had a race on Sunday so I took advantage of that time to take my daily pic.

Right after this shot is one where I look a little severe.

I was reminding my youngest why it is never funny to yell HELP ME in the woods…
