Christine > Day 153: Old Truck and a Cow
June 2, 2009
I can't believe how many old trucks there are on the North Fork of Long Island lol!!  Most are proudly displayed on their property for passer-bys to see.  I took a bunch of shots after work at this farm.  The fence seen in this shot was annoying as it was hard to get a shot of the cows so I wound up standing on the hood of my car to shoot.  I wound up choosing this shot (with the fence, taken while my feet were firmly on the ground) because I liked the composition and the cow sitting right next to the old red truck.  I posted two other shots to my alternate POD gallery because it was hard to choose between them.  I have to say, while standing on my car barefoot I prayed no-one would be fresh and honk at me.  It would have startled me enough to make me fall off the slanted hood of my Saturn lol.

Christine > Day 67: Mango Margarita
March 8, 2009
I went to the Olive Garden with my mom for dinner.  It was a good 45 minute wait so we headed straight for the bar where I ordered a frozen strawberry mango margarita with sugar around the rim.  Yum!  As you can see, I couldn't resist taking a few sips before I whipped out my Nikon. Between the frozen drink and the salad, I couln't finish half my meal so Ken gets some awesome leftovers.  :)

Not really sure why the background is so dark.  I took it with a field of green grass in the background.  I took many shots, some of which I posted in my Alternate PAD gallery.   With the same slight adjustment of the tone, some backgrounds appear black and others blue.  I can't figure it out but I like the way it highlights the white fuzz and the light.

One of my two favorite flowers (the other being Black Eyed Susans).  The lighting conditions were less than stellar- it had been raining most of the day and was gloomy and cloudy.  I had to jack up the ISO to get an acceptable shutter speed since it was breezy and I didn't have a tripod with me.  Not as good as I had hoped but I liked the idea of it.

This is almost SOOC.  It was a decent shot before opening it in Photoshop and simply clicking the "auto tone" (the same function I inquired about in yesterdays post).  This single (and very simple) action turned a well back lit greenish background this unusual blue and I liked it.  Thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions regarding yesterdays auto tone post.  SonoLady-  I did join Jeff's new critique group and was thrilled to find it.  James - you have always provided me with great insight, information and suggestions and as always, I appreciate it.  :)
Christine > Day 54: Ice Box
February 23, 2009
This is a very old ice box.... when I met my husband it was in his barn exposed to the elements.  I instantly fell in love.  A lot of time and elbow grease later I stripped all the layers (there were several, including some milk paint) and re-finished it.  It is my most cherished piece of furniture.  One of the things I like best about it is the chunky old hardware.

I took this photo a couple of days ago but only got around to processing it tonight.  If you haven't already noticed, there are 2 self portraits.  Both for no charge.  ;)
Christine > Day 158: Stuffed Peppers
June 7, 2009
My mom used to make this dish for my brothers and I growing up.  It was a staple so I decided to add it to my cookbook.   I had a hard time picking the photo of a day, my second choice can be found in my alternate gallery.   
As always, recipe can be found on threebitesfoodblog.com.  :)
