Grand Canyon of the East

This Weekend we went to Wellsboro, PA with Frank's parents and did a little hiking and camping. It was sooo green. I loved it. We also went on a covered wagon ride that took us back into the past. The history of the canyon is very interesting.
And of course by the end of the trip Frank was irritated at me for taking pictures. I told him to get over it so he decided to sabotage my portrait of him...

Went to Laney's Baby shower this past weekend and made these cute cupcakes from the book "HELLO CUPCAKE!" absolutely love them...they didn't end up looking as good as the book pictures and pretty much melted all over...but it was fun.

My great niece...sooo cute!

Still Shootin

Still lovin my camera, I need something else to shoot though. Flowers and Monte are great subject, but it's getting to be a yawn.

I am however very excited that only a few of these were post edited...all the rest of the editing was done with digital filters and shooting in HDR.






and of course my Montazilla

So I think we've covered this before, but, I undoubtedly have the BEST husband ever. A couple days ago I got my new camera in the mail. Happy early birthday to me! It's my first real DSLR and I'm IN LOVE. Still trying to figure it all out and happy to report I'm not above taking a class on using DSLR's I will start school in September :) GO ME! I am in love with photography, but found it's much like writing...have you ever dug out an old diary just to read it and found that your thoughts were so juvenile back then? I think looking at old photographs is much the same. But it's neat to see where you started and where you are present day. So I hope to grow in this medium...and I hope to look back on these first shots and see significant growth.

Photography is so neat. It lets me take something in my head and give it life. sometimes when I'm playing and editing something pops out I didn't see the beauty in before...and if people don't particularly like it...that's alright because at the end of the day I still created something. I love the feeling of KNOWING I got THE shot and not being able to wait to get it out of the camera.

here are shots with my new camera...any constructive suggestions??
