Number 2
I played with the Kenko Extension tube that I got this week. It takes some playing with to get used to these, but you can get in close! The tube consists of three seperate pieces that are placed on the camera and then the lens is attached. They basically just move your lens out further from the camera allowing for focusing up closer and getting in tighter. You can stack the three rings in whatever combination you want. The smallest one is 12mm, the second is 20mm and the third is 36mm. I’m pretty sure that on this shot I had all three together with my 50mm 1.8 Nikon lens. I shot for hours playing and trying to get a feel for them. I’m anxious to get them out in the spring and try to get some bugs with them.

Skate girl
I’m not sure why this shot keeps sticking out to me. Technically it’s not too great, there’s not much if anything in focus. I wish I had framed it a bit to the left, but I was just firing away. Yet I keep looking at it. Maybe because the girl is static among the other people moving around her along with her posture and the expression on her face. I guess you decide.

Everyday stuff
You know your hurting for some fresh shots when you photograph your cell phone, wallet, keys and watch. I need to get out or get more creative.
For men
This interesting light was coming into my bathroom and I started messing around.
I cant believe its Christmas time again.
Christmas lights, ornaments and snowmen. It’s that time again. It was close to this time last year when I was researching which camera to buy. It’s hard to believe that I’ve posted 312 pictures already.
Standing still
As I was walking along this deer and a smaller one stepped out into the creek and were drinking water. I had my shorter lens on and was a good distance from them. I slowly and quietly changed lenses and snapped a few, but they just seemed too far away. So I slowly crept along the edge hiding behind trees. Every so often they would pause and look my way but they didn’t take off. So I moved in closer and closer. Then I paused and snapped this one which turned out the best. I had to crop it because I was down in some trees and brush without a totally clear view. I started moving closer when they either heard or smelled me and they left in a hurry. There was another moment when I was sitting on the railroad tracks shooting when a larger deer stepped out onto the tracks not far from me but too far for the 50mm. I went to change my lens and as I lifted it up to shoot he took off.
