By Madame Purl, on September 27th, 2010 So I’ve been running around taking photo classes and this one did not disappoint. Not only did I get to play with the two Nikon Macro Lenses – the 60mm and 105mm, but also I got to play with 85mm 1.4 lens (portraits) that I am so coveting now. Of course it’s worse now that [...]
By Madame Purl, on September 21st, 2010 Photography class was awesome tonight. Tonight we learned to stop action and blur the background.

By Madame Purl, on September 16th, 2010 I signed up for quite a few photo classes this semester and Tuesday night was my first one. It’s going to be a busy, yet productive next couple of months.

By Madame Purl, on September 5th, 2010 Wow time really just flits away when your busy chasing kitten butt.

Guess what’s coming up tomorrow? A Rhodia Webbie review and giveaway. I’m going to review one and you can sign up to win one. Yipee!!! Ok, I’m stepping away from the computer to work on my shawl some more.

By Madame Purl, on August 8th, 2010 So a new toy followed me home… a Nikon D5000. The rain has cleared up and I’m ready to go back out today, but these are some of the shots I took yesterday evening.

By Madame Purl, on August 6th, 2010 I did something new this week. I signed myself up for digital photography courses this fall at the local community college. The community program not the regular student program. Now I will keep my fingers crossed they will go. They have to have at least 5 enrolled for the classes to go. I have not [...]
