Assignment 6

Working with a flash.  Not much to tell, but learned a lot.  Got a new diffuser and a cord so I can take the flash off camera.
Here's some of the pics I shot...

Markus and the Fish....

Can I touch it???

What does a Fishy say....

It was all so FUNNY!!!!



My World Tuesday

It has been raining for days and the sun has been hiding.  The trees are bare.  Today is the Winter Solstice so I thought I would post what it is like in my neck of the woods on this first day of Winter.  Check out other My World pics at www.showyourworld.blogspot.com/

Assignment 5

Took pictures of my Father-in-Law. Working on "the moment" and being attached to the "feeling"of the moment.  Needing to both be comfortable to the point of forgetting the camera.

The Eyes Have It

My World

I am connecting up with a photographic website called My World that posts pictures of places that represent the photographer's world.  I will be posting on Tuesdays. (This one is a late bonus for last week because I needed to try this out.)

El Campo Market is a small convenience store in Planada, California, not far from our ranch. 

How 'bout some COLOR for a Change

I was asked to photograph a friend of mine who has a restaurant and catering business. 
Amanda De Jager owns Piano Caffe in Merced, CA.  She also has a food blog that I listed on the side called, She's Milkin' It.
Here a few of the "foodie" shots I took in living color!

Assignment 4

Pretty much the same as my last assignment but with people I know, Grands and Father-in-Law. So here's what I have....

Calves......

Milk it Does a Cat Good

I was out shooting on the dairy the other day and I came apon these scenes:
I always new cats love milk, I just have never seen so many at once at the calf barn not caring how the got it.

Waiting for the Milk to Arrive...

Putting the Milk into the calf bottles...some spills out under the wagon

Raining Delicous Milk!

 Milk Sprinkled Kitty...

Some for Everyone.

Assignment 3

This assignment was to take people pictures.  I learned that it is an uncomfortable thing for me to do...ask to take some one's picture.  So, I will be working through this until I am.  Here are three shots that I took of a painter.  Full length, 3/4 and detail.  Be sure you will be seeing more of these though out my mentor ship.
