the conclusion

Wow, here it is... almost the weekend again! Almost time to gear up for another round of pics?

Trade Secrets
I wasn't really happy with the landscapes I was capturing on Saturday. dma showed me his pics on his lcd and I was stumped... I have a great camera complete with an excellent lens... why were my pics so blah compared to his?

This is what I had:

This is what I had after a few little, um, trade secrets ;)

While my dear friend was intently & rather patiently snapping some pics of little birdies (I forget their names, the little 50 cent piece ones...) I got out of the way and kept myself busy trying to get handheld macro shots in the shade. These little daisies are so cute and they bring me back to my childhood days of making little bouquets with them. I would also try to break them off as close as I could to the ground so that I could braid together the stems. My cousins and I used to also color rocks. yes, yes we were strange kids.

I cropped in on the daisy in the lower left hand corner, made it noisier & did a few other ps moves to get this piece below.

Oh, I almos forgot! When I checked the time on my phone, I noticed my reflection on the front. So, I snapped this quick pic as a "self portrait."

good morning, kitties

Its been awhile since I have taken pics of pinky & junior (laser cat magnets! whoot whoot!), so I tested the power of the 18-135mm & snapped these shots. Isn't junjun sooo sean connery? and *for the record* i love baby pinknas. (I do! Its on my blog so ya know its the truth, yo!)

And there you. the weekend all wrapped up. Thanks for checking out my pics and I wish you peace, love, joy & an abundance of good health.
