I love camera's :)

Even when hubby buys a new one for work it's exciting. I hope he enjoys using it.

Home Tweet Home ;)

Just playing.... I've missed my 'real' camera.

May 27 2010 - Day 147

Apparently it's bee week :) Trying out my macro lens. These guys are fast! I took about 60 shots, and this is the clearest. Love all the pollen on his legs.

May 24 2010 - Day 144

I was practicing with my macro lens. This is a brooch that Bruce got made of our family crest. It says 'Boldly and Vigorously' :) I'm getting sick, and not feeling that way today...

May 17 2010 - Day 137

Oh no it's the 'grammarazzi!'

I guess little Miss A had enough of grammie taking her picture. I only took 35... or so... today ; )

She's SO cute I can't help myself.

May 11 2010 - Day 131

I need to get Miss A over for another photo shoot :) For now I'm just playing. I was trying some different things with my off camera flash, and thought this was interesting.

April 12 2010 - Day 102

I was working on getting my off camera flashes working like I wanted. To test if I had them both set up properly I set one on the floor and one on the table to my right. Here Penny is examining the flash on the floor. I would say it went off, lol... She wasn't too pleased with me about that. She's such a pretty girl :) I thought I'd throw in an extra one of her.

March 28 2010 - Day 87

Okay, back to macro :) This is the last of the pussy willow tree after a heavy rain. I love the reflection of the tree in the raindrop.

March 19 2010 - Day 78

Just a little "Light" reading today :D

March 15 2010 - Day 74

Okay, I'm having way too much fun with this lens... sorry about all the macro shots... well, sorta sorry ;)

Can you tell what this is???

March 14 2010 - Day 73

Playing around with my new lens some more :) I love the bokeh on the 'jewels' on this old costume jewelry brooch.

March 13 2010 - Day 72

What a difference a day makes! It was pretty nice out today. This cherry blossom was taken with my new macro lens :) Did I say how much I love it? lol!

Feb 24 2010 - Day 55

The birds were crazy out there today! I thought I'd pull out my 70-200 with the 2x converter. This Starling was in the top of the tree across the road. I think it looks pretty funky.

Feb 11 2010 - Day 42

I was just heading out to do errands today and noticed a bunch of robins in the tree by our driveway. Then I noticed that the cherry blossoms were starting to get nice fat buds. I popped back into the house and got my nice long lens (70-200) and snapped a few pictures. It's been an insanely warm spring here. I love that you can also see the rain in this picture. We've been getting lots of that lately too. A little TOO much for my liking.

Feb 09 2010 - Day 40

Wow, this year is flying by! Day 40... already :) I almost forgot about getting a picture today. Busy running errands and tidying and organizing. I was in my new prop room moving things around and gasped 'oh no, my picture of the day!' - Well here it is. Two of my favorite props :) My cute large froggy (about 16 inches long?) and a pink tutu :)

Take that, picture of the day! haha! (I'm such a goof...)

Jan 18 2010 - Day 18

Sweet silly Penny. I pull out the camera and she turns her back on me most of the time. (This is where you are supposed to imagine me running around after her, talking sweetly and throwing treats). I wanted to check out how well my new camera (Canon 7D) does in low light, with a high ISO. This was taken at ISO 12500, not bad I would say for a moving cat... :) It was also taken with my 10-22mm lens at 10mm. I guess I was in the mood for playing today. I also ran the 'coffee' action on it which I got on http://www.photographyschoolhouse.com/ It's one of my very favorite places to go play on the web.
