I just thought I would post some of the pics I have been taking with my new camera. :)

Here are some pictures with my adorable sisters! I did a random photoshoot, and I really like how they turned out. Here is just a few.

taking advantage..

Boy, has it been awhile! :P

I took this yesterday morning, it was really cold and foggy .

My family has been trying to enjoy this autumn weather while it lasts. We went to the park with my Grandma and Grandpa and sketched leaves. There was a nice breeze, warm sunshine and fun.

oh, something a little important.. =)

oh, I forgot to put a ending date the entries have to be in by!! Silly me! =)
They have to be sent to me by midnight of October the 15th.

The winner will be announced Oct.20th.

First Captured Essence Photo Contest!!!

I am excited to anounce that I am hosting my first photo contest!!

I have been thinking about what to use as a subject that is unique and different, so here is the theme and the rules:

1) Photos MUST be taken by you.

2) You may enter up to 3 photos

3) Your photos have to have a letter of the alphabet in them. Here is the catch..it has to come from something like food,or nature etc..

4) If you have a blog, post your alphabet photo contest picture entries on them and send the post link to me. my email: artnHim@gmail.com

If you do not have a blog , you can send me the photos with the email above.

 

 

5) Please, feel free to post this photo contest on your facebook, blog, twitter etc..I would like a good turnout for hosting my first contest! 

 

 

Good Luck!!

Anna & Faith

David and Terri finally got home with their new daughters!!

They went to China for 18 days.

The rest of the family (including us friends =) were so excited to see them!

"Test Drive"

As all of you know, I am trying to save up for a "nice" camera.

Even though I am a long way off before I have enough.

I wanted to try a couple different good professional cameras.

 So a couple days ago we went to Bernheim Forest with the D's and I got to use their Nikon D100.

It was difficult at first, dealing with the settings on lighting, and the focus and all, but I quickly adapted. well, kinda. :0)

 I have used Canon Rebels in the past , but this was my first time "test-driving" a Nikon.=) Thanks Johnathan!

 Here are some pictures I took with it and then edited:

you can tell I had the wrong setting for lighting. =)

 Hope more to come!!!!!
