I spoiled myself this weekend by purchasing a new lens for my camera. After a small amount of research I decided on the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 with the auto focus. This was the first photo I snapped instantly after attaching the lens. This little guy is Whiskey, his tongue is always out.
I really want to USE my camera more. I purchased a used Nikon D60 for quite a bargain last year and haven't even began to fully understand and explore all it can do. For now, I just take photos and act like I know what I am doing, but truly I have no clue. I hope to learn much more about photography and how to use my camera.
In the meantime I just keep snapping photos....
Lastly, my time-sucker, complete and total time-sucker. A block from my store sample, the HoopSisters Feathered Star. I will post more on this quilt later.
This weekend I was able to sew The Staple Dress by April Rhodes while my embroidery machine was running. Such a quick and easy dress! I wore it today and I love it. I highly recommend it if you want a quick garment that is easy to sew and very versatile. I am already planning another.
Your pictures look great to me - and I love the quilting on that quilt!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a very active amateur photographer and apart from all the self study he does (there are loads of great online tutorials out there), he's found that joining a local photography group has really helped him - technically via more experienced people and inspirationally as well, via the cross pollination of a group of photographers and their ideas. It might take kissing a few frogs before you find a good club, but would be worth the effort. Good luck with it :o)
