A New Addiction

I have a new additction...Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. I got Adobe Photoshop from my lovely sister but still don't know how to use it. I downloaded a free trial of Lightroom 2 and am in love. It's awesome and so far the quick functions are easy to figure out. I have only had time to fiddle around for a few moments and look at what I have come up with (you can check out the orginal below). It's love at first click!

Practice makes Perfect

This weekend I was really working on aperture exercises. My favorite photos are ones with a really blurry, dreamlike background. Unfortunately I don't have a lens that will allow me to go to a really low aperture so I made due with what I have. I took some photos at the library with my son and his favorite puppy. Check them out!

The Fun of Learning

Last weekend we went out on the lake with my husband's family. I had a great time taking some fast shutter photos while out on the boat. I just love the smiles that Lacey and Chelsey have and how the water drops are so clear. Take a look below! I am really focusing on learning about aperture right now so there will be more photos coming soon. The last photo is what Lacey's dog did to their poor screen door. Crazy puppy!

Just moved in

Well, I have jumped on the wagon. I have been so inspired by my favorite photog that I have decided to create my own blogspot. It is in this blog that I intend to work on my new hobbie or craft, photography. I will post photos here and would love feedback, if you will to share. Thank you for reading and check back often.
Here are a couple of photos that I took with my mother's nikon D40. It's these photos that have really peaked my interest in photography. I am sure you will see lots of photos of this little guy.
