Getting the right balance

Balance is important in so many things. I've had difficulty finding it in a lot of ways lately. Most recently though it was white balance that was an issue for me. When I use my camera in the house on the manual setting I normally change the white balance for incandescent light. That isn't a problem until I go outside and start snapping pictures without remembering to change it to daylight. Now if you think that's not a big deal wait till you see the difference.
The first picture here was taken outside with the white balance set for incandescent light

Realizing what I did I changed the setting and took this one

Both of these pictures are straight off the camera and taken within a few minutes of each other. I don't know why I can never remember BEFORE I start shooting to check those settings.

Happy Easter

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Let not your soul be sad
Easter is a time of joy
When all hearts should be glad.


Glad to know that Jesus Christ
Made it possible for men
To have their sins forgiven
And, like Him, to live again.


So at this joyous season
May the wondrous Easter Story
Renew our Faith so we may be
Partakers of "His Glory!"

Have a ducky day everyone

Need a break

As much as I hate to do this, I really need a break. I'm beginning to let things weigh me down so I'm going to take the next week to refresh myself. I'm hoping that some time away from the computer will help me to put things in to perspective and put myself back on track.
I'll see you all next Monday.

Something different

In honor of the lazy day I'm going to have I'm doing a lazy post and just giving you a video.
