Eva is a reader. She reads better than most kids her age and even a bit older. On our last parent/teacher conference her teacher encouraged us to not only read her short books but chapter books as well. So, when I got the chance to review some new chapter books from Disney I was excited read them to Eva. The books were sent to us to read and review. Opinions are 100% our own. The books are geared towards tween girls and involve the adventures of Minnie and Daisy before Mickey and Donald entered their lives. The stories revolve around growing up with all of the challenges that young girls go through.
No, I didn’t join Linked in or anything like that. I have enough on my social networking plate. Today’s image is of the chain link fence wall from Taylor’s back yard puppy pen. After the snow stopped I went out with my camera and took a bunch of photos. I liked this one the best.
In keeping with my New Year’s Commitments I started reading a bunch of my photography magazines. In Popular Photography I learned a few tips that will help you with your digital camera. The tips come from an editorial by John Owens. One is setting your ISO to 400 rather than the auto setting which fluctuates between 200 and 800. But if you are doing low light work you can reset it to something higher. I tried the tips from the article and for a while I will keep my ISO to 400 for my standard shots. I’ve also gone and switched to Raw mode/JPEG mode for my shots. Next plan is to follow the rest of the advice and read my whole owners manual plus the D80 field guide.
