Hi,
Looks like you have set the A records to point to Blue host and they are still pointing them. http://who.is/dns/lightscameramotivation.comTo reset it back to WordPress.com’s DNS settings you will have to remove the A records. Here is handy support document that will help you with it. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/setting-custom-a-records/#resetting-a-domain-a-record
Looks like the other DNS settings are fine. You won’t need to change any of those. Feel free to get in touch if you need any further assistance.

hmmm but the site still says can’t connect to server, what I meant to do what to redirect the domain to a new self-hosted site but I am not sure I did that correctly, since I was supposed to changed the name server and not the DNS itself? thanks

well at least I got it back! phewwwww thanks for the help now I need to figure out how to point this site to the new site so when visitors come here they will be redirected to the new domain name…

You have to set the Name servers to point to bluehost name servers if you are interested in hosting your site with Blueshost. Here is a document that will help you with this.

Hi there! It appears the domain lightscameramotivation.com is pointing back to WordPress.com. If you need to direct that domain to another domain that is self hosted, you will need a site redirect upgrade. You can read more on that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/. If you have any additional questions, let me know.
