POTD 6.29.07

Today has been the very BEST day! DH had the today and the rest of the week off and so we were lazy all day. Then he took me out to this DELICIOUS Italian restraunt in Rainbow City. We even split a dessert-it's ice cream but it looks just like a baked potato-the put cinimmon/cocoa for the "skin" and whip cream for the "sour cream." I took a picture of it but of course my batteries went out on me right then. Anyways, I'll post a not so good picture of it later.
I am married to the VERY BEST guy in the whole wide world! He is letting me get a new film SLR camera! :) After taking film photography last semester I have really fallen for the challenge of it. I've also bidded on a telephoto lens and a wide angle lens! (ha ha last paycheck from the nursery should pay for these :) I hope that I get them. The camera is a Canon Rebel K2 EOS.
I'm so excited about today! It's my dear friend Kat's BIRTHDAY! She is 25!!!!! sooo...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT! (and most likely the subject of my next POTD!)
Well, since I've been LAZY as everything today-i'm leaving you with a couple of pictures I took recently.


This is my "niece" Molly. She is my sister's doggie (the one that just got married). I just LOVE her!

I really LOVE this picture. This is my Paw-Paw and this picture really captures him for who he is.

POTD 6.28.07

today's pictures are self portraits. Kendall my DH, went to the Brave's game tonight and that gave me some just me time, so I decided to try out some natural lighting from the big window in our living room. Unfortunatly, I chose the WRONG day to do it. After I had got everything set up-a storm came and there went a lot of my natural light! :( Sadly, on the majority of these I had to use a low shutter speed and the pictures are blurry. :(

Hopefully next time I will have a better subject to photograph. It's HARD doing self portraits! Oh well, I needed a new myspace picture anyways....


I'm actually kinda surprised that this one ended up being my favorite of the bunch. I'm not wild about the crop on it but it is in much better focus than the others.....dumb storm! :(

this one was taken infront of my white backdrop ( just a white blanket for now). I got my exposure pretty close on it but you could see through the blanket so I had to dodge the crap out of the background. I just hate that it is BLURRY!!!!!!!

here i am with my trusty kodak Z650......yeah....hopefully, not much longer....

Thanks for looking! :)

POTD 6.27.07

ok so this is my VERY first POTD. I've seen this done on 2peas and wanted to give it a shot. :)
Hopefully, I will keep this up and it will be a constant meter of my progress.

First, a little background info: I am majoring in art with a concentration in graphic design. I took my first photography class in the spring and haven't put down my camera since. Since then, I have spent countless hours reading, shooting pictures, looking at other's work, and really getting to know photoshop.

I guess that I will start my POTD blog with my most recent photos. These are all from my sister's wedding on 6.16.07. I had an absolute BLAST taking these! :) I am hoping to do some more photos with her sometime soon!

this was the cute little flower girl-she has the most beautiful eyes!
