I was taking some pictures this winter of some children blowing out candles. This was challenging, as I was hand-holding my camera and using my new 50 mm lens … and children don’t always stay very still. I’ve chosen my best ones to remind me how I did them. I shot the pictures in manual: […]
Have you ever taken a photo and wondered what other things you could do with it? I experimented with some photos to see if I could use them on some bookmarks. The bookmarks may be used if I go into more family photography.This first photo was taken of two girls sitting in the snow watching […]
I had the chance to do some more photography of water drops a couple of days ago. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done any, and I didn’t try to get any drops colliding. However, I played around with some gels for colour. I used a plastic bag again to hold the water, and put […]
We have been going through a time of difficulty since before Christmas. My father, who is 82, had a heart attack and had to have a 3 way bypass. This has kept us very busy, but it has been good to see God working in and through the situation.We walked into my father’s house just […]

My camera broke. This was not a nice feeling for me. The main dial no longer allows me to change my shutter or aperture. I was looking into getting it repaired, but my husband and I talked about it, and I’ve decided to get a new camera. In the meantime, I wanted to test the […]
Bleeding hearts have many names: Dicentra spectabilis, Lady’s Locket, Lady in a Boat, Valentine Heart, Dutchman’s Trousers, Dutchmen’s Breeches, Glory Bower, and Lady-in-a-Bath. I don’t know how many other names there might be, but I was surprised when I started looking.The sun was setting when I took these pictures, and was shining through the hedge behind these […]
