Sometimes we need to recharge our batteries in order to pick up where we left off. A timeout and a little rest can be one of the greatest gifts to give ourselves.<\/p>\n

Or in my case, the teacher announcing that class was canceled last Wed. It was perfect timing and I used the time away from assignments wisely.<\/p>\n

I put down my camera this weekend and toyed with the iPad. I’m learning a bit more about the “golden hour” and experimenting at sunset. I’m using the iPad as it’s a lot easier to experiment with than setting up the tripod, pouring myself into the camera settings and making sure to have the remote in hand as well.<\/p>\n

One of these days, I’ll be using the “real deal” as I have a little heads up that I will be taking “self portraits” as well as the hubs and the hubs and me for a few of my assignments.<\/p>\n

It’s been one of those nice relaxing weekends with the hubs. We had a couple of fun dates, a trip to Cold Stone and lots of rest and relaxation.<\/p>\n

Let the school bell ring tomorrow!<\/p>\n
