A New Toy To Play With
Someday… I’ll make the time to play with this someday, hopefully sooner than later. But I found this on a great sale and couldn’t pass it up. While I’m trying to improve my photography skills, I have also learned the benefits of good editing from other photogs here on WP. Hopefully this will help.
52 Pick Up Photo Challenge – Week 21
I am again taking part in the 52 Pick Up Photo Challenge that Sherene has over at Print-Sense Photography & Design. I missed Sherene’s challenge last week (oops, just realized I’ve missed it for 2 weeks) but was determined to take part this week, fortunately the subject matter is one that I photograph frequently. The challenge [...]
Some of the Violets currently blooming
I’ve got too many violets blooming at the moment to get them all into one post but keep an eye on Flickr as I tend to put more pictures there as I have more storage space there. I’m limiting myself to a single shot per violet (except for one) on this post and won’t be doing [...]
I can almost touch it…
The clouds on Wednesday were so pretty. I didn’t have my photog brain going fully though and only snapped this picture absent-mindedly. I couldn’t tell if it came out at all due to the sun but I really liked it once I looked at it on my PC’s monitor. I almost feel like I can reach [...]
It was cool but beautiful Wednesday

A couple pictures of blooming violets…
My poor little violets are feeling a bit neglected since I haven’t been showing them off as frequently… In an effort to try to make up with them I wanted to post a couple of pictures I took yesterday. I am hoping to get back to being more regular with posting here as I do thoroughly [...]
Looking for some photog advice…
As an amateur photog I’m getting ready to upgrade my camera situation in the near future but would like a little advice from my followers. As I am limited on funds and haven’t owned a DSLR before will a lower end DSLR, like a Nikon D3100 with an 18-55mm lens, be worth my investment or [...]
3 New Babies Blooming Today!!
I know I haven’t been around much lately but I am so excited to be able to tell you that I’ve got three new babies blooming today! First is Red Ferrari (in the violet world “red” can vary from a bright berry color to a deep dark burgundy). As more buds open I’ll be able [...]
Long Exposures
Reblogged from seeingspotsphoto.com: Let me hit you with some knowledge. Long exposure is another way of saying “keeping the shutter open for a long time”. This can be done for a few reasons – to compensate for low available light, as one of a many exposures for bracketing, or to capture the idea of motion [...]
One of Mom’s big Irises has opened up!
Mom has some extraordinary Irises and I discovered that one of my favorites opened up yesterday! I’m surprised the pictures turned out this nicely as the wind was blowing a hundred miles an hour…
