Picture of the Day Sept 30 2008

Today I finally talked Shawn into letting me take a few pics of him at Presque Isle. The lighting was so nice. I actully have quite a few shots I really like. Here are two I downsized. Not sure if these are two of my favorites but I do like them.

Lions....Tigers...Bears... Oh MY!

And then there were the Giraffes

My 3rd Portrait

This concludes my homework assignment for the week. I am so excited. I have put my camera in manual setting and using permenant locktite to leave it forever there. No longer will I be tempted to set the dial on a pre-programed setting.

For my 3rd portrait I took a shot of my dear husband Jim sitting in his MG. Looking at it now it probably isn't the best pose making him turn his neck around.

I have only done one or two black and whites so it was a little test for myself.

My Second Portrait

I went down to the North Pier just missing sunset. I passed a group a kids who asked if I would take there picture with their camera. No problem. Then the kids starting chiming in that they wanted me to take their pics with my camera and send it to them for their face books etc. So I thought sure I need a few portraits for my assignment this week. Here is one that I liked.

Head Shot of Patrick

For my beginning photography class my first assignment is a few portraits. First on the list is a head shot. Patrick was in town for the night before flying to Boston so he quickly became my first suspect.

Here are a few pics of a Blue Heron I took at Presque Isle today. I was so excited to see him. I think they are the neatest looking birds.

Another shot I took when Jim and I went to Niagra Falls last Tuesday. You know me I sometimes take so many shots, then I scan thru and pic a couple good ones. I went back to that folder of pics today and opened a few more and thought this one was kind of coincidental. I was trying to take a picture of the woman looking up at the rainbow and the falls thinking that was kind of a nice shot. Then I get home and look at the images and notice that the hood or sleeve on her disposable rain jacket looks like angel wings.

Piece of Heaven on Earth

A Couple Shots of the Falls

Jim and I took an extra vacation day after Labor Day and headed to Niagra Falls for a day trip on Tuesday. What a wonderful sunny and Blue sky day we had. Tuesday was a great day to visit with US and Canada both celebrating Monday Sept 1st as holidays it was a nice quiet day without alot of crowds. Here are a couple quick pics.
