Tulips

There are four things I love about spring. One: Flowers, Two: Bees/Dragonflies Three: Warm weather, & last but least Four: MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY!!! So far I am LOVING my new studio lights best purchase of the year so far. Over the weekend I noticed that the tulips that come up outside my studio door had finally bloomed. So today being that I was a tad bored and was in no mood to work on editing decided to take some macro shots with my strobes. Here are a few shots that I have done so far.

New Studio

My studio lights arrived the other day simply love them. So happy that I got the Photogenic versus the Alien Bees for those who don't know what I am talking about its okay! It has taken me most of the weekend to play around with them and get my room set up the way I like it. I found out my desk needs to go there is not enough space. I am sure David will be happy to have me back in the dinning room. :)

Here are a few pictures I took of Logan over the weekend. I have had to bribe my family to pose for me. Normally on a good day all I have to do is whip out the camera and smile. Guess they were tried of that slick move of mine! Here are pictures of Logan and his cute self. I hope to have some new ones of the other kids. For those who asked about my set up don't worry I will post pictures this week.

Studio

I just ordered my studio lights and stand. Today has been a pretty good day for me for now I can go one more step in my photography career. When you don't have a studio weather and location can really limit you. Now I can do sessions during the day while everybody is at school and work. Will be here at the end of the week so I will have some fun testing them out. Here is a picture of my lights for those who are photographers they are the Photogenic Lights. Was going to go with Alien Bees but decided to do these after going to the Sandy Puc seminar. Which if you have not signed up and she is coming your way you NEED to sign up. Amazing seminar and great information! And the discounts you get on products are a money savor.

Logan

Even sick Logan is such a cutie! Poor guy is not at the top of his game and in this picture he was not a happy camper. A friend of mine Andrea is a photographer here in town and she was showing me her lights. I plan on buying my first set of studio lights and was unsure how it all works. Thank you so much for helping me it really did help a lot. I did not have my camera so she let me use hers ( we have the same one) to try out what its like to do studio pictures. Here are some pictures of the end result. Now I am so excited that I can't wait to get my studio up and going. Its all starting to feel real to me which is really nice!

Amazing Song

Saturday night David and I sat down and watched several movies in a row. He started one that I had never heard and swore I would like it. The movie was titled Strange Days and was filmed in 1995. The movie was set in the year 2000 and how they thought the world would be. Oddly how the economy is society may get out of control just as they portrayed in the movie. Here is the video of the song played at the end of the movie when the credits role. I am a techno fan already but I love this song. I looked on Amazon for the soundtrack, LOL you can buy it for $2.00!
