My New Camera Photo's

Comment Published at 20:3620:3617 comments17 comments41 Visits41 VisitsReport

I have been really trying to take more pictures with my camera and learn from reading the directions (YUCK)! I've been trying to take really close up pictures. I keep doing different settings to experiment but it wasn't until this last weekend that I really had a break through. Our church had an art and music show in our Pastor's back yard, which is like a tropical paradise and I think I found some inspiration in the beauty and actually tried over and over again until I got it right. So...let me know what you think?

Fantastic photos! I especially like the orchid shots, but thats probably because they're my favourite flower lol. I'd love to take better photos myself. Well done!!!!

I know isn't it gorgeous!  One of his friends had a tropical nursery and was closing it down so he gave him tons of FREE stuff!  I guess it pays to be a good person..LOL!

I guess when you're taking a picture of something so beautiful it makes it a lot easier.

I think these photos are beautiful Lisa. By the way just catching up on a couple of your blogs since the lovely poem that you wrote caught my eye. Hope it goes in the poem group as I really liked it. You are very artistic. Well done to your son in the running and hope he does well in the junior olympics if he gets there. Also that wrinkle cream is amazing! Love the before and after shots. Where can I get me some! LOL

Re: My New Camera Photo's

I never really thought of myself as artistic but I really appreciate the compliment.  I guess sometimes we all put ourselves into a little box and when you finally start to grow and seek out new interests it's nice to hear how others see you to give you a whole new perspective. 

The Galvanic Spa "Wrinkle Iron" is AMAZING!  I've used it 4 times now and my face (wrinkles) have gotten SO much better, people are asking me what  I've done. Anyways, I will be putting up a website this week and you can order directly from it, business opportunity is awesome too if you're interested in making extra money (which is why I tried it in the first place).  I have never been someone who just believes what other people say, that's why I took my own before and after photos.  I'll let you know.  Thanks again for comments!

Re: My New Camera Photo's

Thank you, especially the "clear" comment....that's what I've had trouble with.  I guess it's true what they say "Practice Makes Perfect"...why can't we just get it perfect right away?!?
