Macro Monday

Well here is my first successful Moon shot! Yay! It is a little fuzzy, cause I don't have a long enough lens and I did have to crop this some, but it works! Yay!!!!!!!

Sunday Stills - Mechanical Transportation

Well the first three are my favorite transportation device, my Honda CRV! Then the others are from my trip to Ireland in 2008. The MrWhippy actually was a art and music van! They had music blasting from the tons of speakers they had inside it!

Here's the blurb:

"Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Mechanical Transportation
Well here it is, if it runs on fuel and can take two or more passengers lets see what ya’ll can come up with..:-)"

Messing around with Photoshop

Well, thanks to WildBlack this is my first attempt at this in photoshop!!!! I am very excited he walked me through this and here is my first result! It's a little sloppy, I can see some green around some of the edges, but I was so happy I could do it I wanted to get it done to see the result! I will be doing some more of this in the future, but here is my newbie. Thanks again WildBlack!

Sunday Stills - The Rule of Thirds

Well I don't really know that I have this challenge down, but here is what I got. Let me know what you think!

Here's the blurb:

"Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Rule of thirds
As any good photographer can tell you the subject, unless macro should be in the top or bottom third of your viewfinder or the right or left third. so this weeks challenge is to use the rule of thirds. Any subject will do, just make sure it is either in the top or bottom or left or right of the picture.
Example: if shooting the sky have the horizon at the bottom of the pic, if shooting a horse pic have it off to the right or left with a pasture filling the screen. It just takes practice since we all tend to center the subject.
Have a great week…Ed"

If you wondered...

Well one of the reason's I haven't done my post for a long while is at first I was sick and didn't feel like getting out. I managed to post a couple of Sunday Stills and some Macro Mondays but them I lost the interest to even care. I then had to pull myself out of my depression from being sick for so long and I started a temporary job for a friend for 2 1/2 weeks. I am now at a new job and going to a new University for Biology. I never did find out what was wrong with me, and yes I am still having some problems, but I am going on. I guess that's what I get for having no insurance and being low on the totem pole when it comes to that. I couldn't hardly get my doctor to return my calls about the tests they had run. The good news is that I am feeling better and I am happy with my life again!
Happy photographing everyone!

Sunday Stills - Sounds

Here's the blurb:

"Sunday Stills, the next challenge: SoundsPosted in Sunday Stills Challenge of the Week with tags Sunday Stills, the next challenge on August 23, 2009 by Ed
Yep you read right Sounds, it was once said a picture is worth a thousand words, well I believe its the same with sound.
So this weeks challenge is to take a pic that without description( no captions) conveys sound. It should be a pic that if you look at it you should hear whats going on. Here’s an example, the roaring of the water, the scream of a first time Kayaker going over Baby Falls."
