MACRO!

Played with my new macro lenses yesterday a bit. Now I can get "into" flowers instead of taking a picture of the whole flower. May not mean much to some, but it makes me happy.

Lenses ... Filters ... Tripods ... Oh, my!!

Just placed an order for a new 50mm 1.8 lens, UV filter, close-up/macro lens set, and some other accessories. I can't wait to get it all!

Flash and diffuser are next on my list. :)

BFF's ... ;)

My niece will be graduating in 2011. So, she is my victim for senior portraits, along with anyone of her friends that she brings along. Yesterday it was Rachel. I really enjoyed the girls. It was fun coming up with poses. Though, I'm definitely seeing more squinty eyes later in the afternoon. Lighting and sun position is definitely a weak area of mine.

Meek Wedding Reception

I had the opportunity on Sunday, July 4, 2010, to photograph a wedding reception for a couple that was married in another state. Their family threw them a reception here. Here are some shots from the day ...

Spent some time with my sister and her horse today. I don't know who was harder to direct, her or Hank. Mid-afternoon, bright natural light. Definitely need to play with light settings more. Following are my favorite shots ...
