NaNoWriMo!

October 31, 2012 / Rebecca Barray / 2 Comments

Hello!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I won’t be doing a photo a day challenge this month since I’ll be participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). If you’re interested, all the details are here. It’s fun and exciting and can really help you get started and/or finished writing your novel. There’s still time to join up! Why not? I’ll be writing pretty much every minute I can. You can follow my progress if you like with the nifty meter over on the right.

I’ll still participate in the weekly prompt over at WordsmithStudio.org on Thursdays. And may join in the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge when I need a break from writing. ;)

Happy writing to all my fellow NaNo-ers, and photo fun to all you happy snappers!

Photography Craft: An Overview of the Exposure Triangle

October 29, 2012February 25, 2013 / Rebecca Barray / 2 Comments

Hello out there!

I wanted to let you guys know about my first post as a member over on WordsmithStudio.org. As you can see from my badge over on the sidebar, I’m a founding member of the group. :)

Wordsmith Studio is a non-profit group of writers who have come together to provide support, constructive criticism, and helpful tips for all writers. I’m part of the photography interest group, a faction of the Multi-Media group, and our first blog post is an Overview of the Exposure Triangle. It also has a fun exercise. So give it a go and show me what you get.

I’d love for you guys to check it out! Leave a comment over there, and let me know what you think.

And there will be a photo prompt over there every Thursday starting this week, so watch for it.

Happy Snapping and Photo Fun!

Becca ;)

October Photo Challenge Day 18: Made Me Smile Today

October 18, 2012October 18, 2012 / Rebecca Barray / Leave a comment

Today, I was writing at my laptop while the kids, Baby Girl, 2, and Baby Boy, 3, played in the game room. When I looked around the corner to make sure they were okay, this is what I saw:

Toddler Hide n Seek: “Found You!”

He was crouching behind the open cabinet door and she was pointing at him, saying, “Found you!” It was so cute. They play hide and seek sometimes with their big brother, who is 13. Baby Boy really likes it and, apparently, wanted to share the fun with Baby Girl. ;)

You can find the whole list for this month’s photo challenge here or over on the right —>;. There’s still lots of month left, so I hope you’ll join in. If you do, be sure to let me know in the comments so I can see what you come up with. These monthly challenges are so much fun!!
