134: Ewwww!

Wedding Dress: Some money
Church: More money
Suit: More money
Bouquets: Money

Kids going ewwwww on your wedding day: Priceless

I apologize for the crappy crop. I'm revamping my workflow, and doing the cropping at the end which means I often forget to do it and am to lazy to go back and fix it.

133: Ominous

Well, not really ominous. It's another from my river study series that got a brutal pounding of post processing. It was a gllomy, overcast day, so the clouds were interesting looking. Still getting used to the heavy PP stuff, so this is close to what I wanted. Gotta practice!

132: The Road to Nirvana

More ladybugs. I had originally found four, so that's what you see here. Had bad backlighting as you can see, so I apologize for that. This was more an exercise in DOF and composition more than anything.

Yes, the wine was good as well :-)

131: Ladybugs Know Best

So while sweeping up in the country, I came across a bunch of ladybugs. Yes they were already dead, so I can honestly say no bugs were harmed in the making of this picture.

This is inspired by a few photos over at DPC that involved gluing dead bugs and taking fun photos and leaving everybody wondering how they got the bugs to cooperate like that.

Anyways, you can't tell, but two of the bugs are missing their heads. I found them like that! I swear!

The wine was really good, too. I nice Italian wine that my boyfriend has reviewed on his wine blog. Link is on the right.

130: Toronto Skyline

Yah Blogger is working now! CN Tower in all it's glory, the Rogers centre where the LEafs play (I think) and Lake Ontario!

I'm heading out of town to dial up land for a few days. I'll be back on the weekend to update. The full Toronto gallery can be seen here if you feel inclined to check it out. They are pictures from the DPC GTG on MAy 6. Great to meet a bunch fellow photographers, joke around and take pictures.

129: Sail Away

Beautiful boat that was cruising through the harbor in Toronto.

I'm not nautically inclined, so I know nothing about what type of boat this is, but I thought it was neat

128: Wide Angle

So one of the fun things about these get togethers is seeing what other lens (or is it lenses) people have, and trying them out. This is my lens, but I had the opportunities and time to really try my wide angle fish eye out.

The interesting thing about my fish eye is that there is not that much distortion. This shot has very little distortion compared tos ome fish eyes shots I've seen. But it does make great 'from the bottom up' shots.

And just because I feel like it, another bottom up fisheye shot


I checked on a fellow PAD blog and noticed I was off by one on the numbering of the posts, so that is why there is a random gap in the numbering

126: En Route

I am not so hot at bird shots. I got one decent one in NY because they are accustomed to humans and fly away. Now I understand why everyone who shoots wildlife loves those (heavy) 500mm lens.

Not a greta shot, but I like the opposite way the wings are, and the shadows in the water.
