Playing with the Macros lens

2009-05-25T14:02:00.000-07:00

Okay had a bit of time today between the hamburgers and watermelon and decided to slap on the macros lens and see how the heck it works.......or see how good or bad i can make it work......here are a few i was able to get to look alright....I have never shot with this type of lens before so to say the least is was difficult at best

2009-05-23T20:27:00.000-07:00

Finally got a chance to head out and play with the camera....these are part of the collection I took today out on the Great South Bay. Thanks for inviting me out for the afternoon Joe....much needed and appreciated

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Gonna tell you how much I love you,
though you think you already know.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You!" in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More!".

This is a stained glass window that was commissioned by Robert Kennedy Sr. in the early 60's when he had a brownstone on the upper east side or NYC....just a cool looking piece of glass.

The First of Many.........

2009-03-10T12:56:00.001-07:00

this is the very first photo I took with my new nikon d70..... I cannot wait to learn to use this camera in the way it was designed and intended.......I love the way this bench looks and usually hang out on it during the day when I need a break from my jobsite....a nice place to gather thoughts and relax for a few minutes.

Night setting.....or not!!!!!

2009-03-10T12:54:00.001-07:00

The other night there was a small accident and car fire near my house. I figured what a great time to check out how well the camera behaves in the hands of a noobie at night.....not as good as i would have liked.....Boy do I have alot to learn!!!!!! Help me please!!!!!

A New Begining

2009-03-09T20:56:00.000-07:00

I have decided to start this blog with hopes that it will give me a place to show the chronological progress of my new hobby. Perhaps an old hobby rekindled I have embarked upon a new frontier. I have a quest to search myself, my interests, my ideas, my dreams and my passions.... I hope to achieve something here although I am not sure what.....so sit back and enjoy the ride with me.....I hope that it is a good one for all of us.....
