Leafed

It's time for rich autumn fall colors; the trees and grass in my area are still very very green with spots of the rich orange and yellow colors that you normally see this time of year... I spotted these beautiful leaves and wanted to share them with you, aren't they beautiful? Makes me want to grab a book, a throw some socks and peppermint tea and curl up on the sofa. I'm not going to but it sure makes me you want. Hope you enjoy being leafed....

The Band Member

I'm super excited to have the opportunity to capture with a macro lens these days and I have no intention of capturing flowers and bugs...I say that now but if the opportunity arises I'm sure I'll be all over it. I really like capturing things, like this little guy...

I think it's time to revamp this blog and do a little more than doodling with it. I don't think I'll ever stop doodling with my camera's because I like being able to capture daily life as it's happening without having to have every little thing about the image be perfect...
But since this resource is here, up and running I need to utilize it to its fullest potential and you know how passionate I am about photography right!

I'm doing a self portrait project with a fellow photographer on Flickr and I had lots of ideas and concepts running around in my head...no shortage of vision but a definate shortage of executing the vision. I actually submitted another image for my self-portrait today but this one is growing on me. I wasn't trying to get everything just right...I just wanted to convey a mood. Did I succeed? Did I convey a mood?
Thanks for connecting with me on facebook at http://facebook.com/ebbystouch and here.

I just joined an awesome new group on Facebook for photographers and the connectivity has been good...
Well, happy Friday, grab that camera and get out and shoot!

Birdies are here!!!

Birdies, originally uploaded by ebbystouch.

I finally did the research since I know so little about birds. I think this is a House Sparrow, they build their nest low and in bushes etc and seven eggs have been there for a while... now there are little ones in the nest.

I really want to get some good pictures but it's a challenge because the bush which is to the right of my front door is very prickly and I've been stuck several times. Not to mention that wasp love building their nest, hives or whatever housing unit they live in on the front of our house...and one kept circling as I was trying to get this picture.

The picture is not that great but you get the point... birdies are here! Yeah! I assume all seven are in the nest and they kept popping their heads up and opening their mouths to be feed...mama birdie stood on top of my house and watched me. Finally I gave up getting a better picture so they could have their dinner.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday. I am, despite being exhausted. I'm definately not counting on Visine to get the red out but this concept came to me while I was planning for another picture.

Hope you like it, toodles!

I won a copy of Zoner, photo editing software that I had never even heard of but for now I am using my favorite which is Lightroom. I have a new program specifically designed for enhancing face and body skin and I wanted to check it out so here it is.

I'm excited as I begin a new journey in photography with OCF(Off Camera Flash.) I received a new monolight today made by Alien Bees and it solves my problem of not having a modeling light. I really think I like Alien Bees products. I'm adding that to my 580EX and 430EX speedlights and I'm ready to make great images.

So this is my husband, tonight's test support. The power from the Alien Bee blew him out here and it wasn't my goal to get an image that was technically correct, i just wanted to make sure the flash worked and guess what...the flash worked. Have a great week!

Self Portrait

If you haven't checked out my Flickr stream now is a good time, I'm finally catching up in my 365. This is a self portrait taken with a T3i. The B&W conversion on this picture was done with iPhone app Camera+.

GrungeMan

I like the grunge effect for some reason...when I figure it out I'll let you know. Meanwhile say hello to Victor.

Not really, it's just iced tea.

Me again.

I'm doing an iPhone 365 and have fallen behind 2x... Selfies make it easier to catch up and get back to being creative:)

Me, again

I've fallen behind in my iPhone 365 and a selfie is always an easy way to make up a day. Traffic wasn't that great so I decided to utilize that sitting still time to take and upload for my 365...

He changed his colors!

Oldies

Somehow I inherited these scissors at my office and I've had them for over ten years, who knew that I'd be married to their prior owner? God did! These are the old sturdy scissors and they are still very sharp after all this time.

So thankful Jesus loves Us!

I'm chugging away at my 365 iPhone project. I can't say that I haven't wanted to miss a day but I've stayed on track ......

It's not an apple a day that keeps the doctor away... It's Jesus!

What do you think, what should it be called?

Beep, Beep!

My husband got this little red caddy for me years ago and it's been sitting on a shelf in my office. I dusted it's candy apple coating off because it made a great addition to my iPhone 365 project.

It's easy to point a cell phone camera or any camera for that matter at a subject and click and for some this is the ultimate reason for having their cell cams readily available... But not for me!
