It's HERE!!!! My new photography toy has arrived!!! The email came yesterday saying it was shipped and today it was in my mail box. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
I took lots of photos of taking it out of the box and started taking some photos with it. Check back soon for those! My model? Wall-E. :-)
It's mine...all mine!! My sweet hubby has seen/heard me drool over this little baby for months. I just check out the website randomly just to look at it and the optics you can get to go with it. Today was our 14 year dating anniversary and he ordered me THIS LENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo excited and CANNOT wait til it arrives! Hopefully sometime this week, but it may not be until early next. It will be like Christmas Eve all week until it gets here. :-)
See the above? That's a Lensbaby Composer. It goes on your D-SLR camera to help you take better photos. No, it doesn't give you instant magic or perfect pictures, but if used correctly, it sure can make your images cool. And in comparison to some other lenses not to mentioned here, is much more affordable. I really want this little baby. Badly. I dream about it and wish it were coming in the mail. Why does it always come down to money? Ugh.
Ok, the cats make the best subjects. LOL! I had Higgy and Pooka sitting next to me all afternoon and of course I took a couple shots. Then I flipped the flash up, put my light blue sweatshirt in front of it and took some photos. What do ya think? I think they're just funny.

I just saw this book on one of the photography blogs I follow. The author did a review of the book and honestly, he could have told me it was the worst thing in the world and I would be drooling. I WANT TO LEARN HDR PHOTOGRAPHY. It is AMAZING! I have searched on-line for directions, but haven't found anything great. When I saw THIS??? It will be mine. This I swear. It will be mine...
These are why I want to learn this type of photography:

I have three (somewhat) willing kitty models. I have a tabby, a tortoise, and a black and white. They are adorable...except when they are being bad. LOL! Here are some photos I took recently of the three of them. I find them pretty funny.

Aren't they just so cute?
I love mail. I love magazines. I love photography. So, for graduation, my hubby gave me a subscription to PhotoPlus Canon Edition. Yea! What's really nice about this is that all the photography magazines I've bought in the past were generic and came from England. I have nothing against England. In fact, it's my favorite country outside the U.S. My fabulous grandmother comes to us from there. The problem lies in the price of their magazines are awful and kept me from subscribing. Big kuddos to hubby for doing something that I've been wanting to do, but haven't.
So, for the past several days I've been reading through the magazine - reading articles, looking at photos, drooling over equipment, checking out the reviews. I'm so excited about it. I have noticed that some things in the magazine do not apply to my four year old Rebel. It's ok. I can still keep it in reserve until I purchase my new D-SLR. I'm ok with that.
PhotoPlus Canon Edition should help me perfect my craft and give me lots of inside tips all for one low price!
