I haven’t done a Whisker’s On Wednesday in a while, so I thought it was about time. The sleeper. Violet at 6 months. The new chief pillow tester. The Diva. Got off her perch for this shot. Loves the camera even with a big mounted flash. The angel. Hardy har har. The [...] It was such a lovely day yesterday that I decided to get out to some local gardens for a photo walk. I managed to use every lens in my bag yesterday. First was Anderson Gardens a lovely Japanese garden in town. What an enjoyable time and walk. I would love to just go sit [...]

So I bought Photoshop and Lightroom in the fall. While I have adapted right away to Lightroom, Photoshop was a different matter. Let’s just say I’ve been learning Photoshop at a snail’s pace. I found this cool 15 tutorials for creating authentic photo effects blog post. One was Lomo – (DPS is really cool site [...] Last week was insane at Chez Purl. First off I learned I can’t do acrobatics in the pool at the gym any more. It’s a long story and one that reminds me my birthday is next week and no I won’t be turning 21 again.

I ended up back at the camera shop today. My SD card was going and they will replace them for free, [...] I spent the weekend playing with my new speed-light (SB900), off camera lightening cord and Strobies portrait kit (I especially like the beauty dish bounced off the ceiling in the house). I think actually I will probably need 2 speed-lights to make maximum use of the kit, but I’m waiting on the SB700 to come [...] Photo class tonight included macro. I picked out a tin out the bag and here was my favorite shot. This was shot with my kit lens and there has been no retouching. 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 [...] Photography class was awesome tonight. Tonight we learned to stop action and blur the background. And then we learned to blur the action and make the background crisp. I love how we learn and then get right out use our skills in practice. Makes the lesson sink right in for me. Tonight [...] |
