Photography, Photography, Photography.....

I am obsessed with PHOTOGRAPHY!!! I can spend hours at a time browsing web sites, doing research on new techniques, watching tutorials and so on. I love how I can capture the true essence of a person in a photo. It's those memories in that split second that are captured and treasured forever.

I love looking at God's creation and picturing in my head what beautiful artwork that would make. I love thinking of new ways to take that perfect portrait of a friend or family. It's those memories that I've captured that will last a lifetime.

Day 17 - Awaiting departure...


Today we had a nice dinner at Luigi's on Jefferson so we decided to drive along the water. I captured this shot of a dock at the end of S. River Rd. Makes me want to be on our boat!

Day 16 - Farm life...


I love taking rides to view the countryside, this one was not too far from our house. I did a little creative touchup with my new program Corel PSP X3 to make it look aged.

Day 14 - Easter


Today I had both grandchildren over to practice our photography on Easter photos. For my first time using a backdrop I think I did ok. I still have alot to learn and one of them is to have everything ready and practice on something before putting the kids in front of the camera. Maison didn't last but 10min.

But overall they both did great and I love the photos! Here's a little collage of my favorites.

Day 13 - US Coast Guard


Another shot from the St Clair River.

Day 12 - St Clair River


Mike & I took a drive today along the St Clair River to get some shots. It was so cool watching the ice float down the river. Beautiful day with the sun shining but still a little chilly! I had to keep running back to the car to get warm! Can't wait for the warm weather.
