Going along with the same idea behind the scrabble idea I decided to bust out the Jenga and take some pictures today. I will post the rest into the gallery later but here are the first two. The top one I used an age look with a little gothic glow and the second one I decided to add some vignetting with a little brown. I don’t know if I actually like the second one but I thought I would give it a shot.
The top picture is from my uncle Don’s house and the bottom picture is from my parents house. I took a lot of different flower pictures throughout the summer. I grouped a bunch of pictures from Don’s house (He had a whole yard full of what seemed like thousands of flowers), my parents house, and Katie’s house all into one gallery. There are some other flowers from around Mankato and from the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in St. Paul.
I took these pictures of the Coke Wall on the side of a building on June 1st 2007. It is located in downtown Mankato. I had wanted to stop for a couple of weeks and that day I was driving by and decided to stop. I wish I had a wide angle lens at the time because it was difficult to get the whole building in the shot like I wanted.
These are from 1-13-08. Sophie and Max had just got their haircuts the day before. Now they lay around in blankets all day to keep warm… What I would give to be a dog.
Welcome my blog. I am going to use this blog as a way for family and friends to follow what is happening in my world of photography. I will post pictures here and toss in links to my smugmug so that you can check out the rest of the pictures in the gallery.
Right now I use a Canon XTi (400D) and I have a 18-55mm lens, a 70-300mm lens, and over Christmas I bought a Canon 50mm 1.4 lens.
To get started I will start off with a picture I took on 2-5-08 of a scrabble board. I used photoshop to add an aged look and then added some gothic glow to get the look that I was going for. The gallery is here.
