Pine Tree Fruit Or Is It?

Whenever winter comes, i really can't go outside that much for it is too cold for me to stay outside. So that only means that i cannot take pictures as much as i would like to due to the cold temperature outside. But the bush outside in our backyard caught my attention this time, i never did pay attention to this bush not until i got my camera and was looking for something to take photos. For me, it looks like fruits of a pine tree, or is it?

Halloween Costumes

When we got to the park where the early trick or treating was being held, they were already starting. The costume contest was starting, in fact they were calling the winners already. My family and i sat down behind the crowd and this is what i saw in front of me, a clown and a military kid. I was gonna asked them to turn so i can take a picture of them but i decided not to ask instead because i don't know these kids, the parents might be unhappy if they see me taking pictures of their kids without asking permission from them. So i settled with this picture, it's cute though that i still can tell what are they, so obvious though, a clown and a military kid lol!

I Heart These Two!

I must admit that i am getting hooked up in my Photography hobby. I cannot stop myself anymore, i love to keep on clicking the buttons and experimenting on my photographs. I've got two lenses already, one is 18-200 mm and the other one is prime macro lens 60 mm. Hubby was gonna get the 105 macro lens but then he told me that since i am just starting with my hobby, he might as well get me the small one first, then he will get the big one later on.

I have been browsing the store where hubby bought my camera and found some good lenses that it got me interested to get. I guess this time, i have to save my own money so i can purchase them. I am already imagining and getting so excited for these two lenses i have been eyeing. I love the both lens because it has different features on how it works. The other one is wide angle and the other one focuses just mainly the subject you wanted to shoot. Oh lenses, you are making me crazy, lol! In time soon, you two will be mine, haha (evil laugh)!

Floating Flower

This is one of my favorite as my macro photograph. One of my fellow blogger and a friend in flickr account made a new group called "SOOC SUNDAY" which i believe it is not active anymore (i hope it will get active again), and this was my third entry if i am not mistaken. It's all about flower i think and this is what i came up to. I was so happy that some of my fellow flickr friends liked this perspective, a floating flower on the orange water (i dropped some food coloring in it).

Black And White Photographs

I have never done Black and White Photography before. But since someone showed me a link that is all about photography and saw all the beautiful black and white photographs they have in there, it made me think that black and white photography is not bad at all. So i tried some of my photographs of my little one using the photoshop editor. I was all surprised with the outcome, it's not so bad at all, in fact, there are some photos of his that it's much better than black white rather than colored. Take a look at these shots i had in colored before but i made it into black and white. For me, they are just beautiful, especially it is my son who's in the photographs, lol! So tell me honestly, do you see what i see too? I hope so.

Baby Woodpecker

I saw this bird trying to peck the tree last March i think. It was still winter and the temperature was freezing cold. I was just still learning to use my camera and still is learning until now. I got so fascinated with this bird that hanging on the tree like there is magnet in his claws or something. I am a nature lover, i love taking pictures of things around me especially this kind of view, isn't it so beautiful? I hope i still can find a bird sometime so i can take some snaps of it and learn more how to take pictures of a bird.

I Sure Can Dare!

It is very unusual that we are now in the middle of October but then it is not snowing yet. Usually by the end of September when it starts to snow here in Utah. Right now we are still having not so cold weather, in fact i still can wear short sleeves shirt or sometimes wear sleeveless. I somewhat miss the snow though but on the other hand, scared of the freezing temperature as well. I am thinking that the snow is coming late this year because we had a late summer this year too.

This photo below was taken a year ago using my point and shoot camera. This was my entry in flickr and thought i would share it here. Can you dare to be barefooted stepping on the cold freezing snow? I sure did! This is my feet, i am not lying! lol!

B-U-T-T-E-R-F-L-Y

One thing i love most in Photography is, i can freeze everything and make the picture as the remembrance. I am keeping all my photographs in a CD so to view them again and again and maybe print some of them if i want to. This photo above was taken at my grandmother's yard. Same as the previous entry i posted below. It was Sunday morning and went for a photo walk and saw this very beautiful butterfly that is trying to fly away from me. But i was so patient enough and waited for him to be still. I was so glad i finally got him in a good angle. That's one of Philippines pride, beautiful butterflies are all over the place. You can see every corner of the country different colors and different sizes of butterflies. But for now, this is all i can share to you.

Camouflage

It is so funny that my one year old potato can only say "Ti" to this creature instead of "TIKI" which means lizard by the way. Back in Philippines this small reptile comes out every afternoon in my mother's wall or ceilings soon as the light comes on. They are fascinated with the flourescent lights because bugs are fascinated to it as well. They eat bugs that's why light is their favorite place to hunt their prey. But this photo below, it was taken during the day. I was at my grandmother's yard when i saw this lizard trying to hide by blending his color to the bark of the tree. It blend so well doesn't it? You can hardly notice this thing but i did! It sure did a great job hiding there so no one or no predator can harm him.

Perfect Place For My Potato

You probably heard me already ranting how handful my little one is. He cannot just keep still. He's got to be on the move or else he will scream so loud with the highest pitch i ever heard in my life. I must say he is not a brat though, because i don't tolerate everything he does, i put him in the crib every time he gets cranky and starts to throw a fit on me.

Anyway, i found a good way of how to get rid some of his energy. Every after i take his big brother to his school, i take my little one to the park, taking advantage of the cold sunny day while the snow is not here yet. He enjoys walking at the park and i just let him to his heart's content. That way, he'll be able to use some of his energy and i can also take the chance to take some snaps of him. We both enjoys it and it isn't so stressful to me when we're at the park because he can do whatever he wants which is more on walking, unless he picks up something and puts in his mouth.

These photos below, i took them yesterday. I am already fascinated to the beauty of this park even before i had my DSLR camera. But now that i got my camera, i was able to take some snaps of this beauty i am talking about, finally! The place is just as relaxing as spa, cool to the eyes and very inviting venue for parties. Although parents should be more watchful with the little ones though because they might run towards the pond. But there is also a playground over there where kids are more safe and will enjoy to play with some other kids.

Freezing The Moment

Like as usual, he is been my model since he was born. His big brother is now too aloof from my camera. I guess he got tired of the flashes and hearing the clicks. Well, this time, we went to the park nearby to big brother's school. It was a very quiet park, there's hardly kids in there when we came. So we were able to enjoy the park all by ourselves. My little one was able to roam around the big green park while i was following him trying to get a good angle shot.

I have tons of good capture though, but these photos below are my favorites. I always cherish every moment i have to this boy since he will be my last baby and there will be no more baby next. You might not know yet but i am done with babies, i am fixed. So to freeze the time while he is still a baby, camera is my witness and companion.

My Favorite Portrait

Right now my baby is my model all the time. Rarely i can get a good shot to both of them with his brother since his brother is kind of aloof of my camera already. Every afternoon during weekdays we always be the one's being left in the house, daddy goes to work and his big brother goes to school. Since there is not much to do aside from keep on chasing this boy, might as well take an advantage of it and take some snaps of him. During this photo shoot, this is the most favorite portrait of his that i took. He looks so cute and adorable, pointing the raven on top of the tree. I also love the richness of the color of this photograph.

Invading Privacy

Have you seen flies mating yet? Well, if you have not seen it yet, here it is! I was in my mother's yard taking pictures of her beautiful flowers when i happen to turn my back and saw these two flies, mating. I was laughing because they did not really flew away, instead they stayed and continued what they were doing. So i hurried and took the chance to take some snaps of them. I was thinking if i was invading their privacy or not. And if i post this photo, is this considered as pornography or what? lol! Anyway, i am proud of myself in the end though because it is very rare that you can get a good shot to a very rare scenery like this.

Vibrant, Rich Colored Flower

One thing i admire most in Philippines are the different kinds of flowers. Different colors and looks that makes it so fascinating. I was able to take a lot of them and i enjoyed it. I spent my time over there enjoying my vacation and taking tons of photos as well. I cannot help myself to fall in love in photography. It amazes me all the time of all the nature i see around me. Just like this very vibrant colored flower, so strong and rich. So i did not think twice to take some snaps of it.
