Yesterday's Snow Photos From The NJ Pines

This is a stream that crosses the road by my house.

I took over 150 photos with my new Big Boy D2x. I actually think I am finally making some headway and starting to get the hang of it. This is my favorite shot of the day of Nancy Louie, aka, NanoLou on the bridge, taken from the middle of the stream.

Here's a rear view photo of me (outstanding in my stream) taken by my friend, photographer extraordinaire, Nancy Louie. I love this shot as this person looks so connected, peaceful and "one" with nature.

Another photo taken by Nano of yours truly with my new obsession, only this time front view.

The Beauty of Snow

We just got dumped on here in Southern NJ! I am thrilled. The last time we had a snow like this was in February of 2006. It's been gray and snowing all day here, so I haven't had a chance to get out with my new camera yet, but I will! These shots were taken by me three years ago out in my neck of the woods. I was using a Cool Pix 880 digital at the time. I'm planning on getting out in the next few days to get some fresh new snow shots with my d2x. I'm chomping at the bit! I put together an album of photos taken this morning with my point and shoot, Cannon A590. It's a great little camera for capturing the moment. If you are a friend on Facebook, please check them out. If you are not on Facebook or we are not friends there yet, what are you waiting for? :-D

Fun In The Snow

I took my new Nikon camera out in the snow and took some photos in the back of my property today. The light was less than ideal, but I had fun and hopefully learned a thing or two. I'm so grateful to have my very own photography guru, Ms. Nanolou. I've emailed her several high res. shots and enlisted her expert eyes and immensely constructive input and opinions once again. This is my favorite shot of the day. In the high resolution image, the details in the near edge of the water are amazing. What a camera!

Opportunities and Goals

For the past week I have been concentrating on another goal for my art career. With the help of my friend, Nancy Louie, I've been learning the technical side of shooting and post processing high resolution digital photographs. My objective is to commercially license some of my artwork and possibly eventually even photos. Here is a picture of my big new (second hand) d2x. Although a very complicated piece of equipment and a huge technical challenge for me, I'm already falling in love with it.


Here's my favorite scenic shot so far. See more about my photography endeavors on my Spirit Art Blog. Also see this week's Inspiration Everyday quotes on GOALS.
