Photography fun!

A lot of you gals have noticed a big difference in my photo taking quality.  I appreciate that so much, because I truly have been trying to get better.  So the fact, that you notice, means the world to me. Practice, practice, practice!

Tracy from Trinkets and treasures was having another photo challenge.  Sunday was absolutely gorgeous here in the Carolina's.

Took my camera and started playing. 

 You can faintly see my husband in the woods gathering some firewood.

 Spring is right around the corner, according to my dogwood tree.

 I was trying to spy some birds, I was hearing them, but did not see any!

 Had the outdoor fire going today!

Apparently when I was down on the ground, I had a bit of plumbers crack going on...according to my 13 year old! Now that is what I call serious photography!

Thanks again Tracy for the challenge.  I really enjoyed it!

What I have had more fun playing with on my new camera is the ZOOM!!~ I love to get as close as I can, and get just the right focus..I love the focal point, and then the background just a tad fuzzy.

I hope you newbies are enjoying all the tips and tricks, the parties, and the coffee chats.  Please let me know if you have more questions.  Refer to my tutorials and coffee chats under my header.

GALS, another reminder, and it is driving me NUTS!
Turn off Word verification. I visit so many blogs a day, and this really slows me down!!~ And believe me, you are losing comments by having this on your blog.
The newbie linky party was a HUGE hit.  This will be a weekly party over at Debbiedoo's blogging and blabbing.
See you on MONDAY's!
