This photo was taken with a higher f-stop in AV mode so the whole tree is in focus.
This photo was taken with a low f-stop in AV mode with the upper half of the palm tree in focus and the lower half blurred a bit.
Just a water fountain at the mall. Nothing special about the fountain but I like how it looks in the photos.
This was taken with AV shot with low f-stop.
The mall where I live have a bunch of murals on the buildings and I thought they would make for great photos. They made for great perspective shots!
I wanted to give the effect that my daughter was standing in front of a real store. I love the door area. . it's a painting but the depth makes it look like a real door.
My Christmas wish list is a wide angle lens. I think the wide angle lens would have created better shots of these images. I used a 18mm - 55mm lens at 18 mm for most of these shots except for the close up shots.
All of these photos were taken with a 10x macro 58mm lens. They were taken in low light with flash in AV mode. I took the photos when it was close to sunset so I needed to use my flash. I like how using the flash with a macro lens created a dark background but lighted up the flowers.
I played around with photo shop a bit. I used the magic wand and changed the hue of parts of the flower.
Okay this photo can be seen indescent depending where your mind is at! LOL!
To help me come up with photo ideas. . De of Bella Luna Photo Inspirations and I decided to play along in the weekly SCS Photo Challenges. For this week, we have a few challenges we decided to tackle. The first challenge that I decided to work is the SCS Photo Challenge #28 - Fill the Frame. The challenge is to take photos that fill up the photo frame with little white areas or space around the image.
I decided to stop by the wineries near wear I live and take pictures of grapes. LOL! Unfortunately, the lighting was terrible and I could not take nicely colored sharp photos. They sort of turned out softly focused for some reason. Maybe I'm just very critical of my photos because I want my photos to look like the "pros". Ugggh! Oh gawd . . .how I wish I was a good photographer but I have to remember that many of the spectacular photos were taken with expensive lenses and sometimes a bit of Photoshop.
I decided to add a bit of color by adjusting the hue on Photoshop. I also added the original unedited version so you can see each "Photoshoped" photos in their original state. It was fun adding the purple color to the photos.
Just playing with cropping my photos. I wanted to give the landscape below the illusion that it's a real bridge but I don't think I achieved that effect. The bridge is acutally a little bridge at the top of our backyard waterfall.
Do you see the bridge in the background? That's how little it is by comparison to the waterfall so in realty the bridge measures less than 5 feet in length and 2 feet high. With this photo. . .it actually gives the bridge a smaller appearance. In person it's actually looks larger than in the photo but at the angle I took the photo. . .the bridge looks farther away than it does in person.

Just a few photos I took of my daughter making different expressions.
Cheeeeeeese
Just a few random shots I took of Disneyland. I've been to Disneyland so many times, I wasn't really motivated in taking too many photos. While waiting around in the long lines, I took photos of a few things around Disneyland. I don't like how my photos look on Blogger. It's much clearer when viewed on my computer via my photo editor. Blogger seem to distort the photos somewhat.
I snuck in this shot of the Haunted House. You're not allowed to take flash photography so the photo didn't turn out too clear. This is the entrance before you enter the ride. It appears you are moving down but actually it's just the ceiling rises up.
