Reaching Out

Reaching Out
Photo-A-Day #1887

I love having beautiful afternoons in Spring. When I have those I get the chance to spend some quality time with Eva in the yard. Today when I got home we got to hang around on the front lawn as I blew bubbles and Eva “Plopped” them. That mean that she ran around and sat on the bubbles on the ground. I kept trying to get her to blow bubbles but she kept sticking her fingers in the wand. But I did manage to snag today’s photo.

What I love about the photo, other than sweet little Eva, is that both the angle and the tight focus on Eva makes it look like the image is in motion. She’s reaching for something, maybe it was a stray bubble maybe it was because she wanted the bubble container. We don’t know but by looking at it we can see that she is reaching for something and the feeling of motion is strong.

I also love the light poking through the trees behind Eva and highlighting her hair. Yes, I use that technique a lot and I am trying to improve my use of it, so bear with me as I become a backlighting genius.I am running a Father’s Day Gadget contest.

I joined up with the affiliate program that John Chow just launched for his new Blog Profit Camp. John Chow makes more money each month than most people do in an entire year. And he’s also one hell of a nice guy. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with him many times at conferences and he’s the real deal. You can download John Chow’s new ebook today, the new camp starts on June 29th. Get a jump on it today with the new 60 page ebook.

I also want to point out that I am trying to help Jim Kukral get to 100,000 sales of his book Attention! This Book Will Make You Money: How to Use Attention-Getting Online Marketing to Increase Your Revenue (Aff Link) so please pre-order it today and give him a hand. I want to sell 100 copies of the book for him starting with the one I pre-ordered today.

  1. Random question for you Drew… how do you get the photo information? Do you just pull it off the camera before you delete the photos or is it in the Properties of the image?

    1. Trisha,
      The photo information is embedded in the file of the image. I upload the photo to Picasa and there is a link that shows you more information (the EXIF info) about the photo like the info above. You can also see the info there on flickr too.
