Lisa's Family

Lisa has six GORGEOUS children . . . it is enough to have six kids, but they are all BEAUTIFUL too! Ranging in age from 1 to 18, I'll admit that I was very worried about getting a shot of all of them! Well, 250+ shots later . . . here are some of my favorites:

A Picture of Me Taking a Picture!

I just loaded the pictures that Bradley took today with the D40. My sweetie was taking photos of me taking photos!!

FINALLY . . .

I feel like I'm getting a handle on the D200. I got a video from Blue Crane Digital for $20 titled Introduction to the Nikon D200. It covers the basic functions/modes/options of the camera in a logical fashion and it just started to click. The D200 does not offer an "auto" mode, so you must learn and understand the technical functions in order to get the pictures. While I'm FAR from appreciating it all . . . I FINALLY got some great shots.
I used my 50mm 1.8 lens and took photos of a few of Bradley's friends (Bradley used my D40 to get some of his own shots to be displayed later):

Reese's Photo Shoot!

This morning, Jeannie and I took her grandson Reese out for a photo shoot. We started in my backyard and then drove down to the park. The light was harsh on some of them, but it was still a successful shoot. After 300+ photos, I showed her 38 good ones!
Here are a couple of my favorites:






Another LO with Bradley's New Pictures!

A Bradley Layout . . .

I couldn't resist using a couple of the new pics in a layout:


More Pics . . . Bradley and His Friend Michael

Tonight I was supposed to do photos for a friend's daughter and grandson, but they canceled last minute. So, since I had my day planned around this and had the night off now, I took Bradley and his friend Michael to the park for a photo shoot.

It was about an hour before dark and the sun, which was GLOWING orange was just starting to set. It made a very warm glow on the skin in some of the shots, which I really don't like but couldn't figure out how to correct in Photoshop.

Here are the results:
