HOT AIR BALLOON RACE 2010

Hi everybody, wow it has been a while since I posted any of my photos. So, I decided to post some tonight from last years hot air balloon race. I love hot air balloons and look forward to the day when I can actually take a ride in one. But, until that time I love to see  them blown up and taking off into the air.

Up, up and away. Lets go for a ride.... Thanks for stopping by. I will be back with more of my photos.

SPRING MEANS FLOWERS

I just stopped by to post a few of my flower photos....

Daffadills

Tulips

All of these flowers were grown in a friends garden.

A VISIT TO AN OLD CHURCH

Good evening, I am here to post a few more of my photos from the photgraphy class that I recently took. On the evening of our last class we visted several locations here in town. The first was this really old church, it has been repaired and cleaned up. We were able to go inside and take some photos. The only light source was from the window (which is made of a wavy glass) and the small lights on the walls.

This is the outside of the chuch.

This is the original piano and this was taken without a flash, it was a paint with light shot with just the light available from the lamp.

This window in the church has wavy glass, I love the effect of the glass when looking outside. These photos are what I got just by making adjustments on the shutter speed and F stop. I learned so much in just a short amount of time. Well, I hope that you have enjoyed these photos, I will be back with more really soon.

PAINT WITH LIGHT AND DAFFADILS

Good evening, I am back with a couple more of my photos which were done as home work for my photography class. These are more paint with light photos. I really love this technique.

These are some vases that I chose from around my home. I thought that the colors worked well together.

This is one of my outdoor photos of a Daffadil (I think this is spelled right). This was takent at the park this past weekend.

Well, that is it for now. I will be back with more photos soon.

PAINTING WITH LIGHT

Hi all, I am here with a very short post. I wanted to share a photo from my photography class. It was done with a really cool technique called "Painting with Light" it is done in a dark room and the only light comes from a flash light. The camera is set on a slow shutter speed and the light is shined on the object being photographed.

How cool is this, this was taken on my dining room table and the rooms were totally dark. I would love to hear what you think.

A Trip to the River

Hi all, I would like to share with you some photos from my first scrapbooking retreat. My friends and I stayed at a cabin on the river for 3 days in 2009. And for 3 days we scrapbooked, ate good food and had good fun.  I took photos of the river with my Samsung camera. Thes

These 2 photos were taken at 6 am on Saturday morning. The fog just hung over the river for what seemed like hours. The next photo was taken later in the day as the barge came up past the cabin where we were staying

I will be back soon with some more photos. These photos were taken on our first retreat.
