This is a face that does not like wearing his head collar.
This is a face that really wants to go for a walk.
They looked funny in the bowl, so I took a picture of before and after.
It brings back memories of my youth going roller skating. This is my son’s end of year class party. I took a lot of pictures to try to get just the right blur.
Right now in Yosemite valley the Dogwood trees are in full bloom. They have beautiful white flowers that cover the trees, and they almost glow as the sun is going down. I was almost able to capture that glowing quality.
It is beautiful. I had to turn the focus to manual, and turn my flash off. Then I used a tripod and let my camera take in the light. It’s good the trees aren’t whizzing by like kids are.
Here is more Dogwood in the day.
I was taking pictures for my therapy activity site and many of them came out blurry. I read people’s comments on how to take good pictures, and they always say to turn off the flash. I tried that, but I guess that only works when your subjects are furniture or food because moving kids get all blurry. It is kind of cool though.
I guess with my subject matter, I need the flash indoors.
I hear all the time that good pictures are not dependent on what type of camera is used, but on the photographer. This is true a lot of the time, but I have found that it really helps your pictures if you have a good camera too. I have a little camera that is a canon point and shoot type. It is a good camera and I love it. It is a good size to carry around etc. I got a canon T1i SLR last year because I wanted to work on my skills, and I have to say that I do get better pictures out of the SLR than I do out of my little one.
I think that one of the most important factors is speed. I had my little camera at one of my daughter’s first Jr High varsity basketball games, and it wasn’t able to capture the action. I can’t find any of the pictures that I took that day, so I must have dumped them because they were so bad. They were dark and blurry. Here is a picture from my SLR of the basketball game. Not all of the pictures were great, but I at least got some useable ones, and the camera was able to catch the action without everything being totally blurry.
My daughter has the ball in this picture.
An online search at Amazon shows us what my camera is. I hope to get new lenses someday. Right now I just have the kit lense.
Here are the geese and gosslings after I adjusted the brightness in photoshop.
My husband and I went to a military conference last weekend in Idaho. I had hoped that we might be able to enjoy some sight seeing, but the conference was packed with meetings. We did succeed in getting our requisite wild-life sighting in though since our hotel was on the river.
