Photo Shoot...This is the day Photography

I am hoping to soon have my own Photography business...in prayer about this. It would be called "This is the day Photography" after all...taking the shots is of that particular day in the history of peoples lives..or the moment as you remember it.

I just did three sessions...A One Year Old (quite the challenge) but so happy with results..then with his Mom and Dad. Then a family with three generations...G'ma, mom, and daughters.
And my first Graduate! So Fun!

So in the midst...I had fun myself with archecture photo shooting around town. I LOVE this gate...

I hope you enjoy these...Thank you for stopping by my Creative Heart sharing!

HOPE

A Photo Op..surprise!

 

Ziggy is quite a character as it is..let alone this!

It was a fun SURPRISE to see his reflection in the water bowl!

My daughter who previously owned him; said that he liked to see himself in the mirror..and would often find him there...looking at himself!

Wonder now, as this Main Coon loves water..let alone seeing himself..will he be spending even more time at this bowl??

We'll have future post on the character of Ziggy..and Gus.

Who by the way..FINALLY..like eachother!

Try some CREATIVE photography yourself!!

Spring Blessings!

Ziggy...Creative Photography

I introduced ZIGGY a few post ago...He is GROWING...and GROWING and GROWING!

This is his recent "portrait" sitting.

A MAINE COON...no telling how large this guy is going to be! He LOVES to eat! But isn't he just gorgeous...and his fur is as soft as silk.

I use to think CATS were GIRLS and DOGS were BOYS due to the fact that Cats were always primping and had soft fur. Sorry ZIGGY!!

I have to remember to call him my fur BOY!

...and because he likes to EAT....this little PIG was a perfect toy for him...and some BOYS still need a little comfort from time to time.

ENJOY!!

Photo editing

This is a recent photo taken in my backyard..with MY camera! I already did a photo edit for this one...

but wanted to share the further editing done and how CUTE my g'daughter's smile! She is as sweet as she appears!!

Her mom, is the one who opened my EYE to the fun of photo editing. I've always enjoyed photography. In fact, met my husband...while I was working in a Camera Shop!! I sold cameras from simple/easy..to very complex. How cameras have changed since those days. NO...digital then. Can you imagine!!

Funny how they have a program that can make photos look like they were actually taken in the 70's but today..I'll show you.

It could now be claimed a photo of her mom...close resemblance!

I have found in taking GROUP photos to leave a good space if you can between faces...you just might have a nice SINGLE portrait of a nice smile. I did this once..surprised the woman! She said...WHEN..did YOU GET THAT?
She couldn't believe it! and loved the photo.

Perhaps it came out better in a group not being SELF conscience of how you are truly smiling...becomes more NATURAL in a group setting of HAPPINESS and FUN.

Here is a photo edited sequence

Original:

cropped, rotated and softened..

Voila...added text.

AND..this kitty is my NEW addition to the family. This is my grandchildren's kitty they had to leave behind at Nana's.

Ziggy, is one character...a MAIN COON.

I'll do a photo blog of him soon. He is quite the ham for photos as you can SEE!

ENJOY!!

Creative Photography

My new Nikon COOLPIX camera has opened doors of adventure!

I worked in a camera shop in my youth and didn't really appreciate how much fun I could have had..I missed out!!

At the time, the camera shop was a job; a means by which I could own my car and pay the gas and insurance! Survival of the....youth! New clothes? Are you kidding. I struggled to pay .25 a gallon in gas prices!!!

Okay..lets not go there...back to PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

I now, enjoy this as a hobby and My Creative Heart begins to seek out anything and everything to Photograph! You aren't like that in the least, are you?



So if you will...I'd like to take you on a little photo op!



I love the birds that frequent my yard. Their lively songs brighten the mornings.



This little guy is hilarious...cocked his head at just the right moment!





Then there is the photo op at the local beach! Feet of some little ones!! One of each kid. Two boys and one girl...Can you guess who's is who's?



I wasn't kidding when I said ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!! He was just too cute to pass up!



And then my most favorite subject...GUS.



and his best ever!!



Blessings..
