Challenge #10- Change your Perspective

Well, I fell behind. I can't believe it. Things were a little crazy here with visitors from out of state, but I think I got a few photo's for you from when I went into NYC the other day with my sister.

The first one is of St. Patricks Cathedral. OMG, it is just beautiful and breathtaking inside!

This one is from on "Top of the Rock" at Rockefeller Center and that is the Statue of Liberty in the water near the left side.

This is another photo from Top of the Rock and it is Central Park, the Hudson River is in there also. I used my zoom for this.

And this one is of Time Square.

Challenge #9 - Sunsets

Ok... here is mine. It's no secret that I love this one sunset photo that I have . I only posted it as my favorite a few weeks ago. So here it is again and a few others..

Also, here is a layout that I did with 2 sunset photos.

Plus..... I did this cover for a CJ Album that I was doing (which ended up not being returned, which is another story).

ok.. I'm going to see about taking a few more this weekend. I will post them if I do.

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend.

Challenge #8 -Miksang

Well,,,, I have to tell you that I really didn't get this style of photography. I think I was not really in the right frame of mind while I did all that reading and watched the video. But here is what I got. I don't know if it is what we were suppose to do. I think I really need a lot of help in this area. lol

Favorite.....

hmmmmm.... I think its hard to just pick one favorite photo, but if I had to it would be this one of the sunset. I'd have to say it is just one of the most beautiful shots that I've taken. The conditions were just perfect that evening. I think I took about 30 photos of the sunset and the ocean waves.

Challenge # 6- SUMMER

The challenge was to take photos of what summer means to you. Well with me... Summer means so many things.

The beginning of summer is usually started off with my dd Shannon's Birthday!

Then you usually have GRADUATIONS!

Then add ds Josephs Birthday!

And what would summer be without hitting the beach or getting out on the boat?

Enjoy your summer!

Challenge #5- Transportation

Ok, this one is pretty easy for me. I love to take photos of cars, trucks, planes, helicopters, and of course motorcycles!

Here are just a few of my photos that I already had on hand. I am going to take a few more shots this week and add them.

This first photo is of my dh's motorcyle. I love the colors on this bike.

The next few photo's were taken at an air & war show that me and my dh went to back in October. It was really nice. They had a lot of old planes, helicopters (some that are still used in combat today), and motorcyles. Plus, they had army jeeps and trucks there as well. This plane was one of my favorites there that day!

Now this photo was taken at a car show that we went to in December. Thats Joseph standing next to it.

I hope to take some more pictures during the week and get them posted. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Challenge # 4- Macro (Zoom IN)

This one was very fun. I don't usually use the Macro function on my camera, basically because I really don't see a difference in using and not. I think I'm weird. Well, here are my photos for this challenge.

This first photo has the shells that I found at the beach on Friday.

My next photos are right from my front yard! This is some plant in the front (don't ask, not a gardener) that looked real nice on Sunday so I started snapping. Just as I started.... I noticed that a bumble bee started to hoovering around the flowers I guess pollenating. So I started to see if I could get some good photos of him. Here's what I got.

I had a lot of fun with this one. I'm going to try to use that Macro setting more and see what developes!
