The beginning of the year is probably when I take the least amount of photos. It’s cold outside, everything is dead and brown. It’s completely uninspiring. So I bought some sunflowers (my favorite) for a little color and happiness. This photo was taken with my iPhone 14 pro max. Such a great camera. I’ve still … More Photo practice
I will admit that I don’t get much photography done during the school year. Oh, I take pictures for our yearbook, but those pictures aren’t really ones that I can publish on my website. Outside of school, I’m busy planning for school or working on the yearbook. The yearbook is a true love/hate relationship. It’s … More It’s a new year
Catching up on some photography posting The monarchs are floating through Texas on their annual migration to Mexico and my Texas lilac bush is a favorite spot this year. I tried to use my Lensbaby velvet free hand but all of my pictures were blurry and the butterflies were unpredictable and moving too much. So … More Photography project day 12
Wow, my summer project fell apart quickly. It got super hot, everything died; along with it, my creativity and inspiration. As the seasons transition, so will my project. It might be a Lensbaby project. I’m also considering taking a Macro class/workshop so it could be macro pictures. My project may also become filled with pictures … More Summer project day 11?
My cucumbers are long gone, but before the heat set in, the little guys were trying to grow. Maybe I’ll try for a fall garden. Nikon d750 Lensbaby velvet 56 1/100 ISO 400
This little guy is nestled away amongst the leaves and so far is doing pretty good. I love the ethereal quality to this image… the cucumber is the focal point although not completely sharp, and then there is the greenish yellow glow in the background. I like this alot! Update: this little cuke also turned … More Summer project day 9
The heat came in and my photography came to a screeching halt. Everything is brown, yellowing and dying. Hard to be motivated in a situation such as this I got out last week to focus on my garden. My poor little cucumber plant. It will bloom and a little cuke will start to grow and … More Summer project day 8
Back before we reach 100+ degree days every day and my flowers were still blooming, I had some really pretty pink rose blossoms on my plant. It’s been so hot over the last several weeks, it has stopped blooming. I don’t know if I’m not watering enough, or it’s just too hot. Is that even … More Summer project day 7
I’m back from vacation and I’m ready to get caught up. Our trip to Greece was postponed for 2 years because of Covid. Finally, this summer we made it to Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Greece wasn’t quite what I expected, but I definitely wasn’t disappointed. The land itself isn’t pretty in my opinion. Very dry … More Summer vacation Greece 2022
I love using plants as my photo subject. They are available at any time of day and they never complain if I’m taking too long. This year I bought two miniature rose bushes. I love the pink color and they will bloom all summer. This photo is not as sharp as I’d like it to … More Summer project day 6
