4 full days left

of work - not counting today. I took this picture this morning when I arrived at work:

I really like how the sun turned out.  I shot this with my 50 mm f/1.8 lens, using a technique I learned from the manual of setting the exposure when I wasn't pointed at the sun, locking it, and then taking the picture. That way the school didn't end up all dark. I did give this a little Lightroom/Photoshop love later though to brighten the sky and building tones.

My students took their Outlook certification tests today. Several were successful - those who weren't will take their retest in the coming days. In fact, this entire week is devoted to certification testing, as several students are in various stages of certification and still need to take their Word and/or PowerPoint exams.

Tonight, the hubby and I are finally watching the last two episodes of Lost - between our trip to Carlsbad to Peter's business trip, we just didn't have a chance to watch it. We're about half way through the final episode - it's ok, I guess. I think I'm getting a little bit over the whole Lost thing - just not as interesting as it used to be to me.

I was referred to a company called Borrow Lenses by photographer David Toth on the Fast Track Founders website. I had never considered renting lenses before but it seems like a great idea before committing to new glass that I'm not sure if I'd like to begin with. Now I need to figure out what to rent!

Anniversary Countdown 2008 - Day 2

I know I said I'd post a picture every day, but all the good pictures are on my other external hard drive, and I have two sleepy cats around me, so I can't get up right now, haha. Instead, I figured I'd post a link.

After we decided on Sedona as our wedding location, we needed to find a place to stay. After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, we settled on the Apple Orchard Inn Bed and Breakfast because of its location, the pictures of the rooms, and the tasty sound breakfasts. It ended up being an amazing place to stay!
