Blue Eyed Boy

Just walked in from church this morning, and captured Nathan sitting on the couch.  (sigh)... I have to remember to take lots of him, he is growing so fast.

My Perfect Subject

Lucas is my perfect subject for taking photographs with my new camera.  He loves to see them on the camera when we're done, so he keeps asking me to take more. I'm definitely loving that.. it gives me lots of practice!  I'm blown away by this camera, and keep falling more and more in love with it as I learn more.

Hard Workin' Man

Jake has been working tirelessly on the kitchen renovation since the beginning of December.  We're now heading into the final stages, pretty soon it will be complete!

Photos at the park with my new camera

So, we finally got some sunshine!  And just in time to try out my new camera at the park.  Here are my first photos from yesterday, I'm just a newbie at this SLR stuff, so I definitely have a lot to learn!  But, I love these shots, especially the first one of Jaco pushing Lucas on the swing.  I know it's a little blown out, and there are shadows on Luke's face, but I still love it.

   

Sunday Night Sunset

If you live on the Westcoast you've probably been experiencing the same torrential downpours we have.  I took this photo Sunday night, and would absolutely love to see it again, soon.  Today has literally been one full day of non-stop rain.  Not that I'm complaining or anything... Oh and a shout out to my sisters: Happy Birthday Rebecca and Teresa!

Some six months later... on the same couch.

Playing with Photoshop Elements

Tonight I've been researching, learning... learning and learning!  I'm totally ecstatic about Photoshop Elements and what it can do, I've been taking random photos and trying to upgrade them using some of the techniques.  I'm very far from where I'd like to be at this.. really, I'm just at the early beginning stages, I haven't even scratched the surface yet.  I've ordered some books to help me get a better handle on the program, and very soon I hope to be the proud new owner of a Digital SLR which will definitely be a huge upgrade from my little Fuji FinePix 8.3.  I can't wait to start playing!  Here's a before & after of Nate when he was not even one week old.
