You Capture- Winter

2010-01-14T06:57:00.002-06:00

I have a confession to make- my camera & I haven't been best of friends for some time now.

Sure I've picked it up to take my photo assignments for photography school, but other then that it's sat on the shelf collecting dust. Somewhere between reading about f-stops and nude portrait photography I lost my creative mojo. I lost the desire to take photos just for me.

But last week, after shoveling for the 10,000,000 time, I grabbed my camera ( told her I was sorry for taking her out in the freezing cold) and took some pictures just for me. And you know something......... it felt good.

Been Awhile

2009-11-08T09:14:00.002-06:00

It's been way to long since I posted anything on my photography blog..... my bad.

Lets see I passed my first photography test ! And while my photos didn't bomb I do need some improvements. Nothing huge, I knew when I sent them off the problems they had. The main one being that I really need to start lugging my tripod/monopod with me when I'm out taking pictures. I know this.... it's just remembering to do it lol .

I'll post the pictures I sent in soon, they are not on my computer anymore and I'm just too lazy today to drag out my photo drive.

I got my press pass a few weeks ago. Now I just need to find a event to use it.

I think that's about it for a update here. I promise I will be more active in the coming months. I've just been so busy with school work that most days I don't feel like posting here at all.

Happy Clicking

You Capture - Food

2009-08-27T07:41:00.004-05:00

I haven't done many of the You Capture challenges this summer, mostly due to the kids being home. They started school last week and while I was catching up on my most loved blogs, I saw that this week challenge was to capture food.

Food- A subject near and dear to my heart.

I could write a novel about what cooking means to me, but I'm sure that would bore you all to death. So instead I will just share my photos from this Tuesdays meals.

Homemade meatballs in homemade tomato sauce- yum!

Some homemade cheese/garlic bread ready for the oven. I didn't get a chance to take an after photo because it didn't last long .

Flowers

While waiting for dinner to cook the light coming in my kitchen windows is just amazing, and this is the time I love to photograph flowers.

You Capture- Black & White

2009-07-23T08:21:00.002-05:00

This photo is an old one, but I did have some fun converting several of them to Black & White.

Thanks for stopping by and happy shooting.

You Capture- Summer

2009-06-25T07:11:00.003-05:00

2009-06-23T15:34:00.001-05:00

Working on the blog today. Just testing to see if posts work still.

Things will look funny for awhile.

BEE

2009-06-21T22:21:00.002-05:00

It's not as clear as I hoped it would be, but I took this over the weekend. This bee landed on the edge of our garbage can. It had a ladybug, when it flew away 20 minutes later all that was left was the "shell" of the ladybug.

Changes Coming

2009-06-13T11:20:00.002-05:00

When I started this photography blog I knew that I wanted it to be different from my personal blog.

I wanted this blog to be more professional. While I'm happy with how it looks now, it's not what I had in mind. It doesn't look like the professional photography blogs that I drool over.

While I know they pay to have their sites look that way, I know I'm not ready to shell out the big bucks to get the look I'm after. After many hours of research, downloads and more research , I have found all the stuff I need to make this blog look and perform more like the photography blogs I love.

Over the coming weeks the look of this blog will be changing. So if things don't work at first please be patient with me as I work out all the bugs.

Some things you will be seeing

* Almost full page photos.

* Storyboard photo spreads

* Less side clutter

And much more !

You Capture-Nature

2009-06-11T08:43:00.003-05:00

This weeks You Capture theme was Nature.

I had every intention of spending the entire week in nature and capturing it. But life had other plans for me.

I felt like crap emotionally all of last week.

Barry came home for a surprise weekend home. Got to love a man who gives up going to a motorcycle show, and spends a weekend home with his wife, because he knows she needs him more then he needs to show off his bike.

Dealing with a certain teenager that either needs to go to boot camp or have a boot up the butt.

Then there was the weather..... enough with the gloomy, rainy weather already !

Not to be discourage, I grabbed my camera this morning and took this photo of my flowers hanging on the front porch.

Wish I would have removed that flower bud in front, but the gardener in me couldn't bare to loose even one flower to be.

If your indeed of a camera bag check of my personal blog. I'm selling two of mine.

Church Door-Salzburg, Austria-Canon xti

He didn't see what I saw, he saw only a door with light shining on it.

I saw what it could be, a magical doorway into another world.

I had this photo printed on a huge canvas and it hangs at the top of my stairway.
