I'm back BABY.

Since the holidays I haven't been doing as much photography as I would like. But this past week I got back to taking pictures. One day I played with my macro lens and shot this rose.



On Saturday, I went to Occoquan, Virginia with my fellow NOVAL artists for a paint/shoot out. It was very cold and I didn't find much to shoot. I did step in some shoe stealing mud. They are doing a lot of construction in the town. Our newest NOVAL member, Rob, was painting this crane so I decided to take a picture.



On Sunday, I took pictures of my friend's 5 1/2 week old baby. I've taken pictures of him before ... well, kinda ... I took pictures of his mom when she was pregnant. The little guy mostly wanted to sleep. Sleeping babies are very cute.















Come back next week and I'll have some more images.

New toys for the holidays ...

I missed a week of PHOG with the holidays. Sorry.

I got several new photo toys for Christmas. I got the head for the tripod that I got for my birthday last month. Now I can use the tripod. Thanks Charles (and Mom & Dad).

I used the tripod for this shot of an ornament on our tree.

I also got a fisheye lens (again, thanks Charles). I am learning the capabilities of this lens - the possibilities are endless.

Happy New Year!!!
