Pictures

Last week was my birthday and I got a new fancy camera. It is the perfect camera for me right now. It has many manual settings but it will also just point and shoot when I need it to. I also got 2 new lenses that I need to try out. I have been reading the manual and trying some of the settings. So far I have gotten through and practiced the P mode (whatever that is!). I haven't had a very cooperative subject to practice on since we are waiting on the arrival of the first tooth any day now (so we think). She has been quite the cranky pants. Here are a few of my favorites from the first day of practicing. I took about 350 pictures of all kinds of things around my house and I erased about 340 of them. These are my 4 favorites. I have a LONG way to go, but they turned out OK.

Five Month Photo Shoot

Hannah is 5 months old today. There is no doctor's appointment to check her weight and height but I did a rough weigh in and I think she is somewhere around 14 pounds. I have been practicing my photography a lot since we have been in Colorado. Here is Hannah's 5 month photo shoot. I am still working on editing them as I have only discovered the tip of the iceberg with PhotoShop. That is one complicated program! I'll have to wait until we get home to post her monthly picture with Pooh Bear!

This is what she was doing in between pictures. She is determined to crawl!

Playing with Photoshop

I really like photography and have been wanting to update my camera for a few years now, so I downloaded a trial of Photoshop to see if I was smart enough to figure out how to use it. One day I hope to get a really great camera and then edit the photos myself. Here are some of the things I figured out how to do in the first few hours. I'm learning new tricks each day. I'll be adding more as I have time to continue exploring the program...it is quite complicated! :)
