Pioneer Woman's Photo Assignment

One of my favorite bloggers, Pioneer Woman, hosts routine photo competitions with fun prizes. Her latest assignment is black and white photography, and I just finished uploading my entry. Look out flickr;]

New Camera!

Photography is a great hobby--I love finding beauty in random places and capturing it on film. I also love the editing process on my computer, where I can do all sorts of fun things like enhance the colors, sharpen, blur, change the exposure...you get my drift. And I also love my new Nikon camera (Nikon d5100 to be exact). After saving up a few paychecks I was finally able to afford (with a little help from the family) my new baby. I have much to learn about photography and my camera but that didn't stop me from going out a doing a little experimenting around town the other day...here are the first official pics i've taken and quickly edited. Stay posted for more!
