Rudolph the Play

About 2 weeks ago I got to go see a friends play, and it was really good. Although I seem to always forget to bump up my ISO in situations like this, but I did shoot in RAW so I was able to bring them back

Dance Recital

So the other day I had the honor of going to see a friends dance recital, which also gave me a great opportunity.

I chose to use only my 35mm and Lensbaby at this event so I could get more familiar with them.  I didn't really get to move around and change my angles, but I enjoyed watching the recital and who knows maybe I will be on the stage next year! xD

The Hunting Trip

Well I am back now, and I had a lot of fun. But I didn't really get to take a lot of pictures, especially of wildlife. We were so busy trying to put some meat in the freezer that I didn't get to take pictures from the stand.

But I did get some landscape photos. :)

There wasn't a single cloud in the sky until we were leaving, and I am really not a big fan of cloudless landscape pictures but I think these came out pretty well.

These last 4 were taken with my lensbaby. :) The more I use it the more I love it, it is an amazing little lens.

Please let me know what you think!

Exciting News!!!!!

I have a couple of new editions to my gear now!!!!! Actually I have a whole now load out. :)

I am now officially Nikon user!! I own a Nikon D7000, with a Nikon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 VrII, Nikon 35mm f1.8, the Lensbaby composer with double glass optic, and the Nikon SB-900 flash.

Originally I was going to get just the D7000 and the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens, but that didn't give me much of a range. I know the 18-200 isn't a pro lens and all that but it is one that I can just throw on the camera and go hiking or what not.





And what do I have to put all this in? I got the Lowepro Slingshot 302 AW. Right now I have a lot of extra space, but it gives me room to grow.

These first 2 shots are the best I have so far using the Lensbaby Composer.

The next photo was shot with the 35mm f1.8. Shot at 1.8

And last but not least is the 18-200mm lens.

I shot this at 18mm. 

I haven't even read the manual for my camera yet but I wanted to post about it and take some pictures. I can't wait to really dive into all the cool features of my camera. 

I am leaving tomorrow (Wednesday) to go on a hunting trip so I will be able to take some wildlife shot, I hope.
