I Heart taking Photos

I learned a trick from my honey about focusing on an image that doesn't want to focus.
This is our gate to the back of our yard.
Isn't this a neat photo :)
I got the idea to take a photo through the heart from my daughter Ashley, as she did one like this years ago.

I was trying to take a photo through the heart shape of our gate, but it wouldn't focus on the the trees, only the gate.
I love hearts…can you tell ;)

Then I remembered, a couple of years ago Wayne wanted to take a photo of a deer in the bush, but his camera would only focus on the bush, not the deer.
So what he did was find a place to focus on, and then move his view to the deer. It focused perfectly on the deer.
Because I am still in auto mode in my camera, I did the same thing.
I focused on the trees and then stepped back a bit to get the fence into the photo.
I love how these turned out :)
I am sure it is a trick all photographers know….but I'm not a photographer, so thought I would share with all of my non-photographer friends

Talk about photographers, my daughter Ashley re-designed her blog and is focusing on her photography.
If you are interested in looking at some beautiful photography, you should really go and check out her blog :)

Onto My Day:
My friend Lynne and I went to pick up our Scrap for Heart crop tickets.
I also picked up a couple of tickets for my friends that weren't able to pick theirs up.
We then went out for lunch…had some Chinese food, yum.
When I got home, I finished off my Christmas cards, addressed the envelopes and sealed them.
One thing off of my Christmas list ;)

I hope you all had a Creative Wednesday :)

Tracy :)
