Valentine’s Day Serving Tray

So remember yesterday when I shared with you my finished

DIY Serving Tray.

Well I decided to decorate it for Valentines Day.

It was fun to put together.

I was also playing with the camera and different light sources.

Do you ever read someone else’s blog and want to go back to it

but can’t remember on what blog the post was on.

Well that happened to me the other day.

She was talking about photography.

And she was giving some great basic tips.

Like – learn all the functions of your camera.

I realized I hadn’t even come close to learning all the functions

and I still haven’t – but I learned one or two things.

I am working on not using a flash

and working with the natural light.

Goodness it is hard to resist turning on the lights.

Sometimes I fail at that.

I am also working diligently on using my tripod.

But sometimes it is hard to get the shot that I want

and so I take it off the tripod – but then it is a bit fuzzy.

How do you get a steady shot without the tripod?

Do you use a remote to snap your pictures – do you think it makes that big of a difference?

Will you and yours be doing something special for Valentine’s Day?

Whatever you do be good to yourself too. 

A mani-pedi sounds like a very good idea.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

I hope you have a great one.
