Out of Order

  Coming home from Missouri we came across these abandoned gas pumps and they were calling my name.

...and some more from the Windmill Museum

  I am so in love with this place and have hundreds of more ideas for photos I would like to take.  It fascinates me how you feel like you are stepping back in time.

Kregel Windmill Museum Trip #2

  What a fun morning, I got to spend the day with 6 wonderful girl friends who share the love of photography.  Spent time at the museum and then off to the Lied  Lodge to enjoy lunch together.  Great food and fellowship and I can't wait to do it again.
  I am still working on the HDR technique and learning more each an every time I try it. Still have lots of  ideas to try out.

Squirrel

I took the new lens for a test run today, wasn't sure how it would respond on the 7D but not too bad.  I was hand holding and was not very steady so will have to try it on the tripod next time.

Warmer Weather Please!

I am so tired of the cold, I think this is everyone's mantra about now.  Decided to head to a greenhouse and be inspired by some signs of spring.

Light Painting

I added my interpretation on this weeks Photo Forum assignment.  Our topics were light painting and unconventional and our colors are pink or red.   I try to think outside the box! LOL

Round 2 of Liquid Flow

I am learning as I go along but have a long ways to go still.  Each tank of water is good for about 3 shots and then you need to dump and start again.  Each time you refill you have to make sure you get rid of as many of the bubbles as you can and then let the water settle down.   Need to read up some more on this technique as I don't think I have my flash set quite right yet but getting closer.
