I am NOT an Idiot

About two months ago, I went to buy a new flash for my camera since my other one had a mysterious death. Two hours after reading the manual multiple times and being almost forced to tears with frustration, I gave up. I haven't touched it since until a last week. Still no luck. Finally, I took it to my local camera store and was prepared to meet humiliation ( I was sure they were going to do something in about 30 seconds and have it working). I am not a technical person. Well... I am not an idiot after all. It took them about 20-30 minutes to figure out it out. It was suppose to be set on Channel 3, not channel 1 like all other cameras. Who knew?

But in the last week, I was able to update Isaac's porfolio now than he has turned 5 and got a new sassy haircut. Can boys have sassy hair?

20 days...

to break down and buy a new lens. Check out how hot my husband's foot is. I can't wait to put this baby to good use!

Itchy Fingers

I am trying to resist buying a new camera lens. My other new lens is great but I am looking to get one specifically for portraits and I am such an impulse buyer. The lens that is tempting me is the Nikon 50mm 1.4 lens. My reasoning for wanting it is for low lighting situations and to be able to create bokeh in images. Don't know what bokeh is? Neither did I but I knew that is what I wanted to create.

Bokeh is:

See how the background is completely free from detail- that is what bokeh is.

We will see how long I will be able to resist.

Procrastination

Since I am about to get really busy this month, I am procrastinating on my own wedding photos. I did order some already just to make sure the color was accurate with the lab. This is to avoid me editing all of the images only to find out that I am glowing red or something.

But... for your viewing pleasure, enjoy this albino duck. Isn't he cute?

As I was creeping up on this little guy, I ran a herd of ducks right into the parking lot, blocking this car in for a few minutes. I am sure she was cussing at me because it was quite obvious I was to blame.

We Have Arrived Safely

After a week of being in sunny St. Martin, we are officially back in Indiana. We had a great time, didn't want to leave, and couldn't be happier.

The wedding was also spectacular and more images are to come.
