Hummers and Bluebirds

I have been wanting to do this for such a long time but just never made the time...until this morning!  When I grow up and have my big girl photography panties on I want to be like Denise!  She knows what all the camera terms mean and she knows how to work all the bells and whistles on her camera.

So this morning bright and early...during that golden hour...I took my sweet tea, hoodie and cameras to her house.  We sat on the deck and this is some of what we saw...I came home with close to 300 shots of hummingbirds and blue birds.  I won't torture you by posting them all.  I have chosen what I think are the best of the lot.

I still have lots to  learn.  Ad we have made another play date but I have promised to bring the manual so we can go through it and learn about all the bells and whistles on my camera.

 

Thanks Denise...I had more than a little fun!

Still Learning

After the weekend photography lessons at the poppy field, been trying to use more setting and learn more about my cameras...boy is there a lot to learn!

So we always have birds flying in and out of the yard.  I decided to see how long I could sit and shoot.

The Poppy Field

Got to take a little road trip with Denise and Vickie yesterday to see the poppy field near Dayton.  Now, these two know their way around a camera...me not so much.  I just shoot what I think looks good and hope for the best. I took close to 400 shots and these are my best.

 

 They do all this fancy stuff with their big lenses and colored backdrops...me I just point and shoot.  We had a great time.  I learned some new things about my camera.  Denise promises to sit down with me one day and go through my book with me.  And Vickie invited us back for more fun .  Worst thing that happened...we found two ticks in our hair.
