This year for the PTA Reflections Contest at school both girls wanted to do photography. Since their daddy loves that stuff he got to help them. It was fun to see the girls get excited about their ideas and have Bill help them try out some new things. They learned a lot about photography and came out with some great photos.
Hannah wanted to try "light painting" so she got to stay up late when it was a full moon and go out with dad and take some pictures in the orange groves. She set the camera for a long exposure and then walked around the picture with a colored flash and flashed color into the image. It is amazing to me that, because of the long exposure, you can't see Hannah in this picture but only the color she flashed into it.
This is her picture:
Eliza caught a Praying Mantis the other day and decided she wanted to shoot that for her photo. We kept the bug in a little cage for a few days until she was ready to do the picture (or rather, until her dad had time to help her). They put the bug in a big bucket with leaves and she was able to get an awesome close up of this Praying Mantis.
This is Eliza's picture:

Hey Kathryn, Tell Hannah and Eliza; I love what they did for reflections. Hannah's looks awesome. She is creative. I take it Eliza likes catching insects or anything. I had a lot of pictures of her holding lizards, dead fish, and a frog from our camping trip. I love the picture Eliza took. I also...Love the new look of your blog. I just helped Mom with her blog. I love the variety of the background and how easy they made it to change. I was doing it the old way and it took for every. I found this site and had to add it mine so everyone can take advantage of it. Huges and Kisses to my nieces...Aunt Melissa
Those are great photos. What was the theme for the contest this year. Bill is a great tutor. Tell him that my girlfriedns and I just started a photo club and he his blog apparently has inspired them all. They were all talking about him and how I knew him last night. I thought it was funny because they have never said anything before. So now we are all creating our own 100 days blog.
The theme for the contest this year is "WOW".
Carter and I saved a praying mantis from being run over in the street just yesterday. They are such interesting little creatures. Great shot Eliza!
