Photo break

Here are some recent photos with the new camera. Are you tired of seeing my practice shots yet?

The two black and whites are done with the Pioneer Woman's B&W photoshop action. She is a big inspiration in learning photography so check out her site if you haven't already. I love reading her blog and you must read the story of how her and her husband met and fell in love.

I received a dozen red roses for our anniversary

A rose by any other name. . .

Rays vs Yankees

Rays win!! I had to say it.

I took my handy dandy new camera to the game withe me today to get some action shots and boy did I get some good ones. It's a good thing I brought my telephoto lens cause our seats were a little far away. Here are some shots from today.

I yelled "Hey Matt look up" just like a paparazzo and he did. Thanks Matt

Really far away with the telephoto lens, that is why it is blurry

A-Rod might have gotten his 600th home run but Shields struck him out.

Well I know some of them are blurry but it was hard to keep the camera still after a couple of beers.

Photography 101

I took my new camera out for a spin this week. These are all SOOC shots (straight out of camera). I haven't put the camera on Auto yet, these were all taken in either AV mode (aperture priority) or TV mode (shutter priority). I also checked out a book at the library called "150 lessons to better your photography skills". I will be starting on those this week.

So, what do you think of my first go round with the new camera?

This is our Golden Retriever, Ocean

This is our little rascal, Chinese Crested, Devlin (he needs a haircut)

Say cheeeese!

Monday we set off to Best Buy to purchase a new camera and thank goodness we did. We got an amazing deal on a Canon Rebel XS DSLR camera including a telephoto lens, camera bag and a 2 year oops warranty. I LOVE it! I am not quite ready to post any of my pictures yet, still learning the ins and outs of it, but I am only using manual settings. I have not turned it to Automatic yet.

I got some great shots of our Golden Retriever, Ocean. She is so good, she sat still for me looking directly at the camera for about 15 minutes. Devlin, not so much, every time I would snap the shutter he would flinch so all his pictures were coming out blurry. 

*if anyone has photography experience send me your tips.

Hopefully I can get some pictures posted by this weekend.
