And with the rebel xt's LCD so small, sometimes you think you got a good picture, until you upload it and you think "DANG IT!!!!!!" So that's what I'm working on. I would say that about 1-2 out of 10 are in focus. But no matter! Today, I registered for a digital photography class at <a href="http://www.batc.edu/">BATC</a> and it starts next week! It is taught by fellow <a href="http://ilovephotography.com/">ILPer</a> and I'm exciting to learn all that she has to offer! Anyways, I did a quick little session with Miss S today and she was not in the mood! I only got 1 decent one, and please excuse her rough skin. I don't have money for <a href="http://jean31.deviantart.com/art/Skin-Smoothing-55447358">skin smoothing action</a> yet! or <a href="http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/">PSE 6</a> for that matter! More shares to come as I take this class for the next 10 weeks!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7498984521087011542-4981298691510537698?l=250photography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10257929469811084124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498984521087011542.post-10456698228936736362008-06-30T18:29:00.000-07:002008-06-30T18:35:54.371-07:00We were at Yellowstone National Park for a week and I took about 300 pictures because quite frankly I don't have the desire to edit them all!

We were so glad to have hung out with her at Yellowstone. I've purchased <a href="http://www.xpressionsbymichelle.com/">Michelle Pearson's</a> PSP 8 B/W actions, and used it on this photo.

I got the new (used) 75-300mm III USM lens from canon. I mainly got it because we're going to Yellowstone next week and I want to get some awesome pictures of the animals. But I've been practicing with it around home and got this pictures of Sean standing on a pile of dirt pretending he is the king of the world! I also learn to burn edges easily this week too! love it!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CbMtufsekoM/SFCx39nNuWI/AAAAAAAAAB8/0A6VvsGoIkk/s1600-h/photo+005-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CbMtufsekoM/SFCx39nNuWI/AAAAAAAAAB8/0A6VvsGoIkk/s400/photo+005-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210860343857625442" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7498984521087011542-7952975201812026025?l=250photography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10257929469811084124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498984521087011542.post-18806122340220514302008-06-06T16:52:00.000-07:002008-06-06T16:54:47.929-07:00This is to show how country we are..... Rhead took the kids for a walk and came back with a cow skull. Just like that! I miss the bay area.... where there are no cows in the backyard and certainly no dead cows lying somewhere where my kids can find them. Well, it did make an interesting photo anyways.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CbMtufsekoM/SEnOOYeDTyI/AAAAAAAAAB0/t8Ie_qcVVZM/s1600-h/cow+skull.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CbMtufsekoM/SEnOOYeDTyI/AAAAAAAAAB0/t8Ie_qcVVZM/s400/cow+skull.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208921190512676642" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7498984521087011542-1880612234022051430?l=250photography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10257929469811084124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498984521087011542.post-62662877423002628222008-05-31T19:22:00.000-07:002008-05-31T19:28:03.981-07:00Okay... so that's not really his full name, but his name is Bart :) He is a black standard schnauzer and belongs to my in laws.

This is just our street that leads to a dead end. The cows in the field somehow got out and were walking on the dirt road. They were terrified of us so I couldn't get close enough to get a good shot. But my son was ever so cooperative and allowed me to take this one shot.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CbMtufsekoM/SDbfVThGaVI/AAAAAAAAABk/AbGQVpg1RDE/s1600-h/ILP5.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CbMtufsekoM/SDbfVThGaVI/AAAAAAAAABk/AbGQVpg1RDE/s400/ILP5.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203591976582539602" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7498984521087011542-3673772865857211244?l=250photography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10257929469811084124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498984521087011542.post-7187769216983034582008-05-20T05:56:00.000-07:002008-05-20T05:59:41.409-07:00I just LOVE dandelions!
