Fallen Fall

Random Photo of the day

With the camera and the learning involved in using it, I will be taking A LOT of pictures. So I have decided to feature a random photo of the day. Some days there may be more than one...

Three Shades of Fall

City and County Building

New Camera

It's no secreat I have always had an interest in photography. Those of you that know me well have probably heard me say I was having an "I want to be a photographer moment". Yesterday I took a great step in making those moments a bit more real....
I bought a new camera! I am the proud new owner of a Canon Rebel XT.

Now comes the learning curve.... to start things off I have enlisted the help of my friend Eric to teach me all the ins and outs of ISO, F Stop settings, Shutter Speed and all the other crazy things you need to know to take a good photo. Wow do I have a lot to learn!!!

Tonight was the first lesson with the new toy... We went downtown and shot the Capitol Building. Here are a few of the best shots from the night. I hope you enjoy!!

Catching up

Alright... I know I said I was going to post all the info about the Concert Craziness... Well... I will, but getting caught up at this point... going to take a few posts. So, I am starting from today and will post the past in pieces... as time allows.

The Antelope Island Adventure

A week and a half ago or so Eric and I took a Sunday and drove to Antelope Island. We spent the day taking pictures of the local inhabitants and surroundings. It was a beautiful day the perfect temp and an all around good day for picturing... Here are some of the best shots from the day. Enjoy!
