Both of these pictures are straight out of the camera-in other words, I didn't mess with them at all.They're of a certain cockatiel named Mango.

Oh yeah, and I took them manually.ISO 200/F7.1.

Fireworks.

Happy Fourth of July..only a couple of days late.

I wish the picture was bigger..maybe it's just my inability to understand computers...

but you can always click on the picture to see it larger.

I'm glad I was able to capture the people watching the fireworks in this picture as well as the fireworks, because I think it gives it more....pizzaz.Anyways, I didn't mess too much this picture, I only lightened up the shadows so the people are more pronounced.

A day in July.

I recently got a new camera, a Sony Alpha 390.I had done no research on it at all and that is crazy for me because I'm a big researcher on big buys and I guess that's good but, anyways. It was a great deal so I bought it to try it out and I am greatly enjoying it. It's a D-Slr, and my first camera with interchangeable lenses. I'm learning every day how to use it better...and for the price that I got it(with two lenses)..i'm feeling happy.

This is my favorite of the pictures. The only thing I messed with in this picture was the colors.I saturated it a little and voila!I'm gonna tell you something..you notice that the focus is on the earring and her hair instead of her face?Well, I didn't even mean for it to be that way. I had intended to have her face be the focus, but forgot to set the "focus" to the right (where her face was). Sometimes mistakes end up as good pictures.

July 2.

So for right now, you're gonna see a lot of collages.

My computer seems to be having trouble.Maybe it likes collages and

is telling me to do more.I'm not complaining..not yet at least.

Years..

They've been married over 25 years.

Grandfather and Grandson

I had my camera handy when I saw them playing video games

in the garage. So I snapped these pictures of an awesome neighbor.

All things fishy

ENJOY.
