A tale of a frozen family

We had to drive into the city this morning for more doctors appointments, and we caught that time of day that the sun is coming up over the mountains (10am no less LOL) and we also had a storm system blowing out, so it made for interesting photos.

The thing I’m having a hard time with is getting the exposure right.  I know it will probably smack me in the forehead in the near future, that it’s something very easy to adjust, but I had a heck of a time with it today.  

This one is MUCH darker than I hoped it would be…. any of you photo buffs who are coming by, feel free to steer me in the right direction.

This one is a little better, but still pretty dark.

And I liked this one.  Still not as vivid as I wanted it to be (or how my eyes perceived it was)

 So…. those are my shots from the day.  

To make sure I don’t tick the family off… here are the usual pictures of the spawn.  Why can’t I have a four year old that likes to watch cartoons?   It sure would drop the level of pressure I’m always under to “entertain her brain”.

This is her making her own volcano… hoping that the lava lizards would erupt along with it (I have no idea what a lava lizard is!)

and the grand finale!

For the record, no lava lizards were harmed in the photography or execution of this experiment.
