Let The Sunshine In

When I originally took a photo of this card, it was a grey day outside and I had to use my special indoor lighting and work with the photo in the computer to get a reasonably good photo of my project for my post.

Today was a gorgeous, sunny day and I decided to take another shot of that card just for the sake of comparison.  When it came out the way it did, I decided this was something to share.

This photo is straight out of the camera; no tweaking whatsoever.   I was surprised but I don’t know that much about photography.

Best Wishes Mojo Monday – MOJO202

Here is my entry for Mojo Monday this week.  My dear friend, Joyce Roth, was visiting with me and we collaborated on this card. I told her not to be surprised if it looked different when she saw it on line because the camera always has a point or two to make that I missed.  We had great fun!!
