New Camera...

A few of my first photos! I haven't really taken any non-children photos since high school, but boy am I having fun. I can't wait until I really know how to use my camera! And I can't wait until I know how to post photos properly-these are all cut off on the sides! (You can click on them, though, to see the whole thing LOL!)

Here's the clouds from this morning:

Here's Spring coming!:

A mossy step:

Random yard debris--in black and white it looks like art instead of trash:

More trash as art:

And yet more trash:

Twisted Branches:

Fence post, barbed wire and wild grape vines

Sky, branches and flowers

Sky and branches (it reminds me of Eastern art a little)

  1. Ah greenery & blooms. Keep them coming. We are still under a couple feet of snow here. I feel like if I don't see a break from it soon I'm going to lose it completely. All I want to do is sleep!

  2. Shannon, these photos are exquisite! Have you studied or practiced photography before? If not, I do think you have "the Eye"! Do keep it up!

  3. Thanks!! I took photography in summer school in high school...and really have wanted to do more, but I haven't. I had a great manual camera- but didn't use it after I had kids...it was too hard to get the shot, and I'd miss it. Then I just had a basic "snapshot" camera.

    I need to actually kind of learn everything my camera will do, as well as check out a book from the library to refresh and relearn some basics--things like the f-stop. I can't really tell what it does to my pictures other than change the light levels, but I know it's related somehow to the depth of the field of vision, but I don't know how that relates into the photos.

    I was kinda bummed about how the photos posted on here, I'll have to work that out. The pictures on photobucket look much better!

  5. I love your pictures. Will you please send me your e-mail address? I can't seem to find it. Quiltingearth@charter.net. I still want to play racquet ball somewhere along the way.
