shot of the day - 12.09.2010

since it's still extremely ugly outside i didn't get a chance to go hunting for a good shot outdoors.  so, wandered around the house looking at all the little figurines and trinkets we have on display.  one thing i'm trying to get a better grasp of is taking photos in low light without the use of a flash.  sometimes i get lucky... other times, most times, i get a blur.  i suppose if i took the time to set up the tripod it would help but i usually just do it hand held... which means a lot of holding my breath.

bonus photos... again... i think i need to save these for when i have nothing to post... eh, whatever.  i have LOTS of old photos i can post.  ha.  anyway, this is a really cute figurine my god-mom gave us.  it's one of the cutest i've ever seen.  this little granny and grandpa are playing cards.. but as you can see... grandpa is a little cheat.  putting cards behind his back...

but look closely... granny is hiding a few of her own. hee hee
