Bokeh

I love me some creamy Bokeh! So you may or may not have figured out that I am NOT a professional (8 photographer, but it is important to have good, clear photos with good lighting when you are blogging. A good picture is worth a thousand words!

So, I have been practicing and learning to use my camera and as I do I share my pictures so I can look back and see how far I have come. Hopefully they inspire you to pull out your camera and start snappin' away.

This is Diesel, my Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix).

You can find more of my photo's here.

ENJOY!

Port Orchard, Washington

Just playing with the new camera at my parents house in Port Orchard.

These are way Blown Out but I still thought they were interesting. You should actually see the ocean there across the road.

Roses on a gate.

My husband being a good sport.

Can you see the heart? This large piece of driftwood sits in the garden at the front of the house.

Boy, I wish you could see the water like I intended.

Going for the opposite shot.

Again way blown out, I'm just learning but I knew the light was going to be an issue for me. These are blackberry bushes below...they grow like weeds and usually are an annoyance. I try to help out when I am in town and pick as many as I can...mmmmm mmmmm they are delicious!

ENJOY!

What's in your Camera Bag?

First, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, Robyn (8 for posting whats in your camera bag by Robyn Porteen. Second, I want to apologize for not being able to find that post to redirect. Thanks to Robyn I am in love with my new Cannon T2i and my Cannon EF 50mm f1:4 lens that she suggested and boy she did not disappoint. So after a couple days of searching for the best camera for me, I found it, I ordered it, it was delivered to my doorstep. I was so gitty when it arrived...I was like a child opening a present! Once it arrived I was on a mission to protect my new toy, I needed a durable, cute, rugged, camera bag, something that was going to last and hold all my gear. Thats when I remembered seeing cute camera bags on etsy, Robyn even made a suggestion but I didnt pay too much attention at the time, as all I could think about was the camera itself. That was when  I came across http://www.etsy.com/shop/PorteenGear. Wow it was Robyn! I looked through every item in her shop as she hand makes these amazing bags. So that was all there was to it,  I found it, the bag for me and my new T2i. I told my husband about the camera bag, he saw how excited I was and went online and ordered it. He said "I love you and I liked how excited you were about this  bag so I bought it for you." AWHHHH! yeah, he's a keeper. (8 Here are a few photos of my bag and gear...
