:curtain:

Ah, um...I didn't post any yet.

I think I shall have many, many kitten shots for you; as we're fostering a teeny tiny 3 week old kitty. She's awfully sick right now and weighs only 9.2 oz . . . but still cute as a bugs ear.

I'm also partial to taking my camera with me to the farmers markets on the weekend. Always such cool shots. . . and this weekend I'm picking up rhubarb, for my first ever Strawberry Rhubarb pie. I'll most certainly take photos of that process.

Hope everyone has a great weekend... It's so nice having a place to share, collaborate, be inspired and get critique!

fondly, Amanda

still haven't really been shooting. but, i did run across a new (to you) shot that i like. i actually have a half dozen with this look to them. i like it quite a bit. no editing done beyond resizing and sticking my name on it. quite the surprise coming out of the camera. i like pleasant surprises.

These are just lovely, and you-know-who adored them. She is in rapture. :)

i can see a time in the forseeable future where miss you-know-who might find some mail with her name on it. sshhhh....don't tell...you know i can be kinda slow.

Mums the word.

By the way, here are a few of my favorites I captured this weekend.

We lost our little foster on Sunday. . . and while I did get a photo of her, I am really not ready to share yet.

Also, the market had no rhubarb, so I have yet to bake.

I did play around with an idea I've had for forever last night. .. you can see it here. It wasn't my original vision but I still like it. Grief brings about creativity like nothing else... well, that and a desire to bake.

Great work Fancy, thanks so much for sharing.

Love those shoes, the coloring of the image and the textures!

Sorry to hear about the loss. Please take care ~

time to show your stuff!

sony image competition

we had some rockin' storms roll through this area last night. of course, once the light show started, i had to go out chasing lightning.

have a look-see.

Wow!

So, which one are you submitting for the contest? :)

actually, i have a fair number of images i really like...which is always the sticking point for me to submit anything. you wanna swing by and sort through the 30K images or so that i have and pick a few?

What's a Busker festival? Do I need to come across the border to see this? :)

Don't make me pester you about a passport, either... My weekend is booked with festivals and an aids walk (I may be in the band). I'll carry my camera the entire time!

Photo junkie
 

I'm an avid scrapbooker, so I am a photography junkie. :) I have boxes and boxes of pictures just waiting to go into albums...

Right now I have a Canon not sure what model it is but it has a zoom, auto focus and lots of settings I can change on it (it has a screen on the back but it's not digital). Unlike many of my fellow digital scrapbookers I prefer film photography because I enjoy working with the camera to get just the right shot and, well, I'm a shutterbug when I'm on vacation! Plus to me the quality of printed glossy or matte photos is just so much better than digital...
I just love the feel of them in my hands!

I learned photography from my grandfather in high school using an old Pentax K-1000 and took several courses in landscape photography when I was on vacation in England back in the '80's. I was also the corporate photographer at my old job that I held for 9 years so learned a lot about event photography and portraits plus digital editing while on the job.

Now I get to enjoy photography for the sheer enjoyment of it!

Nice thread....

Dressy

Freckle,
Busk is the verb;
Brit. to perform for money as a singer or strolling entertainer in public places
Busker is the noun, the person who is busking,

There are jugglers, and clowns, balloon twisters, and fire eaters, and unicyclists and magicians, and.....

All the little street corners filled with groups of people watching the acts
A truly family event.

Rain threatens to drown out the weekend, and i passed on the 80% POP tonight. Will try and sneak in some dry time for me and my Rebel tomorrow.

Have a great weekend Freckle.

Have a great weekend all the rest of the shutterbugs :D

Yesterday was beautiful and the rain held off for me to get my favorite shot of the weekend. :)
