A trip to the zoo!

It is so much fun to live in San Diego and take advantage of all the great activities here.  One of my favorite is the San Diego Zoo.  It is especially fun when we have a little panda baby to enjoy!

As 2012 ends, I would like to send out some love and appreciation to all of my friends and family for the wonderful year.   I am so grateful for all of you!

Koi Pond Photo Fun

Took a moment to photograph these fun fish and the reflections in the pond.  Aren't they amazing?

Practicing lighting

Since I am trying to learn more about photography, today I spent some time working on using light and shadows to enhance my photos.  So here are a couple fun pictures I took at SeaWorld working on my technique!

  Also, just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I am kind of a sucker for anything that has to do with water and nature!

My first trip to WPPI photographer convention in Las Vegas!

I went to the convention in Las Vegas last week to learn more about how to take great photos.  It was an amazing experience and I hope to put into practice some of the new techniques I learned.  I did take a break from the workshops to stroll outside and see the crazy town. Here are a few sights from my fun experience.

Better photos to come in the future- here's hoping anyway!

More water

I was at the beach trying to get pictures of the dolphins (which didn't happen!), but  I ended up getting some nice ocean shots.  I just love the water!  Oh, and the sky was spectacular, don't you think?

Waterfalls

I wanted to practice using my camera on the tripod using a longer shutter speed.  Where else but somewhere with water!  Check out this cute little waterfall in Felicita Park.  It was a perfect spot to try something new for me!
