Fun in the snow...

Anticipation...

Another from my latest photo shoot.

Just three days left!

I know I haven't been great about posting but here's something from my photo shoot yesterday.

Happy Solstice!

I took these WELL after midnight, so they are today's shot! The clouds were bad last night, I actually went to bed thinking I would miss it, but Rey called me a little after midnight and when I went to check, I realized that about every 5-10 minutes, there would be a small break in the clouds and I could see the eclipse briefly! I dawned my coat, boots, tripod, and a chair and spent the next couple hours outside waiting for rare glimpses of the moon. I didn't get to see it at full eclipse because of the clouds, but I caught a few shots when there was a break! Here are a couple:

The biggest town around...

Yup, we really do live out in the middle of nowhere! I dream of taking night cityscapes, but for now, I'll have to do with the biggest town in the area, up on a hill. LOL

Black & white morning

I had a really nice morning shooting. I took my camera with me on my petsits, thinking maybe I could shoot another lovely sunrise and alas, there was no sunrise! Well, I'm sure there was, but it was behind a layer of clouds. I stopped quite a few times to take pictures and just really enjoyed the quiet morning to myself. Here are a few of the shots I took:

I love the animal prints in this one, it looks like someone was going in circles and confused! LOL


If you are easily offended, don't look too close at this one. I've been coveting this shot for a long time and revisited it this morning and think I was fairly successful at getting some feeling out of this. There's something that I like about the harshness of the graffiti and the cold beauty of nature behind it.

Nutcracker!

We were gone all day at the Nutcracker and I didn't take my camera out for more than a few minutes, but I got a few shots!

Three lovely bellies!

Sorry for not posting the last 2 days, I'm really sick.

Goodmorning!

I enjoyed the sunrise this morning while I was out petsitting! I hear there is going to be SNOW this weekend, so that will lend itself to some good shots as well...

OHM

Christmas cutie...

I've really struggled with these pictures and therefore haven't posted any. (I've alos been extremely busy with a family emergency.) I'm the least unhappy with these pics from my last photo shoot so I thought I'd share.

still editing!

Working on Molly's pics right now, although I did take some shots of the sunrise that I'll get to here soon, as well!

Celetrating Transformation

More editing fun...

Another pic I took a while back that I played around with today. I like even better than I did before. I've mostly been working on making my pictures better but still realistic. I feel like I'm getting better at it so I'll probably need a new challenge soon. I'm thinking that I'll play around with my filters more. But tomorrow I have a photo shoot so the practice will have to wait.

I know I haven't posted

and I'm not going to tonight, but I'm saving it up for this weekend! I have two photo shoots that I'm really looking forward to!

More eyes...

Still working on eyes. I'm really happy with the progress I'm making (thanks to lots of time on photo boards and youtube). The top picture is the original which I already really liked, in fact I didn't think I could like it any more. But a little work on the eyes and now I do!

22 weeks!

Summer is coming right along and she's the only person who graced my lens today, so she's gracing the blog again! :)

The eyes have it...

Another shot from Thanksgiving. I've been trying to work on my editing technique to make the eyes pop while still looking natural and not drastically changing the color. I still have a lot to learn but was pleased with this one. I have a photo shoot this weekend with this little cutie so you'll be seeing lots more of her! :)
