2nd Batch

I didn't mean to go for the whole night theme...but apparently that's what happened toward the end of my week. The project has been different this week. I thought this whole thing would help me with editing, and that I would learn a lot from that. So far, it's been everything BUT that. :)
I've learned a lot from taking opportunities when I see something that I find worth taking a picture of. Here's the week at a glance...they aren't super amazing...but hopefully I can work on my editing skills and keep having this much fun taking the pics.

I drove up by the Draper temple with a friend and we got this amazing view of the city lights. The sky was pretty awesome too.

I've been messing around with my shutter speeds, and snagged this one of the moon.

Yep...another shutter speed photo. This is probably old news to everyone, but I just barely learned how to take pictures like this. My niece and I stayed outside for at least an hour writing secret messages to eachother with my flashlight. It was entertaining, but the best part as always was hanging out with my niece and just seeing her face everytime she figured out the message she was going to write.

This was on one of the rainy days...that ended with a cool sunset. It was perfect.

This is Callaway the horse.

This is the fence that keeps all of the prisoners in at the jail. Okay that's a lie...but it is right outside the jail, and it caught my attention.

I love this picture purely because it's so simple. Nothing to do with how I took it, or edited because all of that is lacking...haha obviously. I love it because it is my niece smiling because she is happy to be swinging...and that's it. It's anything but complicated and it bears as a reminder to me that this is what a smile should be about...little things. I forget this sometimes.

The first one: You say "Draper Temple with a friend" as if you weren't really on "Lookout Point with a boy."

The one with the horse: Really? A horse? Did you learn nothing from judging the Tooele Reflections contest?
