D-311 Get a little closer

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We've been kind of busy but trying to enjoy the weekend, even had our first snow of the season.

took that from the door.

The daily shoot Sometimes, the best advice is to get closer. Today, get really close to your subject. Use a macro lens if you have one.
These are all macro shots - love getting close

Window lighting

The main reason I love buying myself flowers is . . . I'll always have a subject to pose for me. LOL


Beautiful imperfection

and I even managed to get an abstract image. Love the colors in this one


Read several articles on lighting and shooting pictures in dark places. Also viewed images on flickr.

I created a Facebook page for my photography business. If you get a chance "like" it and support me there. Thanks.

I'm loving your comments and wish there was a better way to interact with you all.

D-268 The ds challenge & Miss Isabella by the window

dailyshoot Daily Shoot:
Symmetry can be calm and soothing. Make a photo today featuring symmetry, either in subject or composition.
An old high tension power line - had to lay on the ground of this one.


I spent a little time with Isabella today
I must say, I'm completely smitten by her.
She was laying on my new bench by the window and I was able to capture her with available light and ISO 800




Entered this one into the "Love that shot" contest.
50mm, Nikon D-700, window light.

D-254 On weighing things out . . .

I missed yesterdays post. Not sure what happened. I had training all day, then I came home to take care of home responsibilities, David is really sick, he has pneumonia and some other complications. Time sort of slipped by me and today while checking my blog, I was surprised I didn't post yesterday - LOL. Today has been sort of a blurr too but I had Isabella for a couple of hours and I managed to capture this.



She's really not angry, she was just concentrating on making this necklace and I called her, so she looked up really quickly. I am amazed at how much her look has changed in the past couple of months. She's looking older. I could have taken more images but I decided to spend some time with her. I mean really spend time with her.
and so weighing things out, yesterday I had to take care of David and myself, today I had to spend time with her.
Sometimes I just have to give up on the reading and the browsing. I'll get back to it soon, but weighing things out, my health is more important.
