the oreo dilemma



This is such a great post from the daily digi comparing oreo cookies to photography. It is such a simple, understandable way to grasp the relationship between shutter speed/iso/aperture!

Enjoy!

  1. Love the camera tips. I always try to explain it to others when I am showing them my camera..but that was sooo relatable! The Simple Things was fun to be apart of…looking forward to the next one!

  • Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. – Lin Yutang. . I’ve  left so much undone this summer you guys. I’ve put off deadlines, closed my computer and left emails unanswered. . While a younger me may have felt guilty over this – the current me feels absolutely GREAT about it! . . . . #collectmoments #treasuringlittlememories #dearphotographer #flashesofdelight #seekthesimplicity #documentyourdays #petitejoys #getoutside #getoutstayout #liveauthentic #optoutside #outfam #waterton #greatoutdoors #adventureisoutthere #letthekids #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #findyourpark #explorealberta #momswithcameras #outdoorfamilyadventures #bucketlistab @travelalberta @mywaterton.ca #cameramama
  • We biked the Route of the Hiawatha yesterday and it was so amazing you guys! Super family-friendly (it's all downhill) and the views were incredible! Lots of video footage from our adventure in my stories so take a peek! 🚲
  • Ok, who else loved the Little House on the Prairie books as a child? . We recently visited the Ingalls Homestead in De Smet, SD and it was so special! It really brought Laura's books to life. . My kids were enthralled with all of the hands-on exhibits and activities. . If you're planning a trip through South Dakota this is DEFINITELY one place I'd recommend stopping. . I've shared all of the details from our Ingalls Homestead visit at simpleasthatblog.com if you want to read and see more photos. #linkinprofile @SouthDakota #HiFromSD #MyGreatPlace . . . . #familytravel #roadtrip #southdakota#sodak #travel #travelingwithkids#outdoorfamilyadventures #prairies#treasuringlittlememories#our_everyday_moments#dearphotographer #findthelight#flashesofdelight #seekthesimplicity#documentyourdays #petitejoys #capturingchildhood #SD #ad
  • Would your family enjoy this adventurous mountain coaster? . One of the highlights of our recent trip to South Dakota was the day we spent at Rush Mountain Adventure Park! @rushmtn @southdakota . We especially LOVED their new Rushmore Mountain Coaster!! Gliding through the trees and taking in the beautiful views of the surrounding Black Hills was incredible. . Riders have total control over how fast they come down the mountain, making it perfect for all ages! . . . . #collectmoments #hifromSD #treasuringlittlememories #outdoorfamilyadventures #our_everyday_moments #getoutside #getoutstayout #liveauthentic #optoutside #outfam #SoDak #southdakota #keystone #mountrushmore #rushmore
  • Happy Canada Day to all of our Canadian friends and family!

  • It seems that whenever we finish a big outing or vacation together, the moments that stand out to me most aren’t always the “loud, shiny” ones. . It’s the more unassuming moments that stay with me. . It’s the look of pride on my daughter's face after she balanced so carefully across the log to cross the creek and doesn't get her feet wet. . It’s the time we stopped in the middle of the road to let a herd of bison cross. All of us quiet, in awe of the animals being so close and not wanting to interrupt the moment. . It’s the kids’ excitement over sliding down a natural waterfall and the surprised screams and giggles that came after splashing into the cool water below. . These moments are the only souvenirs I need from any adventure we go on. #collectmomentsnotthings #outdoorfamilyadventures . . . . #mybanff #collectmoments #treasuringlittlememories #dearphotographer #flashesofdelight #seekthesimplicity #documentyourdays #petitejoys #getoutside #getoutstayout #liveauthentic #optoutside #outfam #banff #greatoutdoors #adventureisoutthere #letthekids #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #findyourpark #explorealberta #momswithcameras
