Experimental Macro Shots

I feel so bad that this website is not as updated as i wanted it to be. Holidays are going on and i am too busy with some other things that's why i was not able to experiment to shoot some nice things that i can post it here. But today i am glad that i was able to take some snaps of things that is commonly used by professional photographers, such as these pretzels, chocolate hershey's drops and colored pencils. I am glad that i took some good shots today and it sure feels so good. I just hope that i will learn more things about photography... I am dying to learn studio photography and i hope to be good at it and will be the one to take studio shots of my kids instead so i don't have to pay studio portraits of my kiddos hihi :) Anyway, here are the shots i got earlier....

I Can See You Mommy!

The kids gets easily bored inside the house during the winter, that's why i always have to find something to make them happy even though we're just staying inside the house. My oldest one likes to go outside a lot and even if it's snowing so hard, he still love to play outside better than to keep warm inside the house. He was playing his dump truck the other day after he got off from school and he probably felt cold for staying at the backyard too long and decided to come inside and asked me to make him hot chocolate for him.

After all that, he found his bubble bottle and asked me if he can play it inside the house. He asked me because i already told him that he can only play the bubbles outside. But since it's cold outside, so i just let him play, and thought of taking some snaps as he was playing with it. I was able to take some good snaps and this picture below is one of the best snaps that i got. He said, "I can see you Mommy!" when i took this photo.

No More Surprise, It's Already Unwrapped!

So i finally got a new lens but it wasn't the lens that hubby were supposed to buy, but it's the better one so i am happy and thanked my santa for giving it to me so early, yepey! Anyway, so there will be no unwrapping present for me anymore this coming Christmas for i already unwrapped it last night, lol! I should've waited until Christmas day comes and use the new lens but oh well, what's the surprise since i already knew it. So i did not waste time and tried my new lens with my kids and tried it as well to this image below. It came out good and i am happy that i have another additional lens for my camera.

Snowcapped Mountain View

It snowed the whole night last night and again, our place is now buried in snow. All the roofs are white and so as the ground. After i took my son to his school i stopped by to a place where i can see the snowcapped mountain and took some snaps of it. And when we got here in the house we did not come in the house right away, i let my little one enjoyed the snow for a little bit. This photo was taken after i took my son to his school, this is the way coming back to our house.

Grand Canyon's Tall Tower

This is Arizona' South Rim Grand Canyon's Tower. I know that most of you might already recognized this place for this is one popular place where the tourists usually go. I never did get the chance to take some good shots of this tower before our previous visits, but now i am so glad that i got some nice shots of this very tall tower. We actually went up to the very top and my kids got scared and felt so cold so we decided to come down and ate our lunch that we brought. Isn't it so beautiful tower, is it? One of the most amazing creation that i can never get tired to look at it.

Myself Inside the Gold Bulb

Christmas is fast approaching and my boys are both excited to open up their presents under the tree already. Speaking of Christmas tree, we put up ours already by the way right after we came home from our trip. Our Christmas tree last year was a mess so this year, i decided to just put things on my own with the help of my family by handing things to me. I thought that red and gold ornaments are beautiful together. So that's our theme for this year. After i got finished putting all the ornaments and the lights, i took some shots of it and took some close up pictures of myself inside the gold bulb. Before i had my camera, i have been wishing to capture some nice picture of me inside the bulbs hanging on the tree and finally now that i got my camera, i did it and it turned out perfect! I was using my macro lens on these pictures.

Utah/Arizona Border

Another beautiful scenery we passed as we traveled along Utah and Arizona border was the border itself. Too bad i was not able to capture the poster of "Welcome Arizona". The car was running just a little under the speed limit when i took this. I am glad that i took this picture at last, i have been trying to take some snaps of this poster before using my point and shoot camera but all the captured images i got was all blurry, so erased all of them. Now that i got the DSLR, i am so happy that i got a remembrance of this place finally. This is located in Southern Utah, right by northern Arizona.

Champagne In The Snow

Did i hear someone asked me to put this bottle of champagne in the ice bucket instead? lol! Anyway, i was playing my camera yesterday and was looking for some subject that i can shoot. And i happen to see this bottle of champagne in our pantry and thought it's a good subject to have and put it in the thick snow in our backyard. This what the snow comes in handy, we don't need an ice bucket for it to get cold. Instead, we'll just bring this drink outside and stuck it in the snow so it will be useful. lol! It's so neat, isn't it?

Southern Utah Scenic View

The picture above was one of the shots i got during our Arizona trip. It was fun to keep on shooting while my husband was driving. I get to focus those beautiful scenery and take some few snaps of them. I have tons of photos to share but some of them are pretty much the same though. Anyway, i got this shot by southern Utah as we head home. The place is so amazing! I can't even capture all those beautiful spots and just kept them in my memory instead.
