OK so i haven't posted in a long while .. first off my desktop is down .. and while i have taken a lot of phone pictures right now i am struggling Β to learn lightroom 5 .. i hate it .. i really hate it .. whoever designed it didnt' understand how to keep things simple. it is so not user friendly .. just like photoshop it is a pain to me. i am not a computer person, not really. i can play video games just fine but i am not a computer tech. i can't even figure out how to get the pictures out of lightroom i have tried to export them .. send them to email and everything else.. but the stupid program doesnt' have a basic save copy. nothing i do will get it to go to my pictures in my computer pictures folder. 8( anyway very frustrated with it. once desktop is working i hope to get back to using my good camera and doing some nice pictures. and maybe some traditional art work to.Β

so this week .. i didnt' have enough money to get a new media card for my good camera and since i am in need of a new hardrive on my desktop i didn't want to erase an old card and use it. i might not have back ups of those raws. Β Also i didn't have a lot of time to take my good cameras around , so i took a lot of pictures with my phone this week. i had a good time taking pictures with it. again it is a nokia lumina 1020 . still working on all the settings .. i just uploaded a few i had time for 8)Β

OK so i had a whopper of a birthday , really .. first a about a month and a half maybe two not sure i got an early present , a cannon rebel ti5 .. my first really nice camera before that i had a small sony point and clicks and various kodacks and one olympus. and i had gotten a ton of walmart gift cards for christmas and never used them so i bought a mirror less sony nex ... well then my mother in law bought me a Nokia lumina 1020 .. since my four year old cell phone stopped working correctly. so I am really picture crazy right now and trying to use as many of my new toys as i can. also it is all a huge learning session. i have never had to set things manualy , or figure out how a camera actualy works. SO diving in really. and i am very thankful so many of you seem to like my pictures thank you i really appriciate it. ,,, little note here i do also draw and other things however i keep most of that work i do on facebook and i have injured my wrist and complicated my already bad carpal tunnel .. atm i can't draw without pain. ( not really suposed to type to much either. ) so i have really thrown myself into photography as it is art i can physicaly do. so really excited to take pictures 8)Β

haven't had a lot of time but starting on new projects. recently my brother told me it would be neat if my photographs had hidden fantasy animals in them. i am sort of going to run with that and see if it is fun 8) .. today though i was curious about a fish tank so i took a shot of one .. and just loved the water from the upsidedown.

so took my kids ballooning this morning at dawn lol .. took some shots i got one that i felt was artistic. i am still learning to judge how to use the camera depending on light , time of day , and subject. even point and clicks have settings and i am trying to learn as aposed to putting it on auto and actualy just pointing and clicking lol .. on other fronts in my traditional and digital work i am still working on book covers which is why i havent' posted anything about them. and atm i am working on a batman catwoman drawing i felt like doing when i get done i hope to post it 8)

So .. as i stated before my camara got broken , well this week got a new camara , and went crazy , i decided to break into the mirrorless type camera so i bought a nex3 alpha series from sony , since i have never worked with anything but aΒ point and click i had no idea what to expect. But i was thrilled with it. and just as luck would have it .. we got a winter storm , i have spent a lot of this week taking pictures of the outdoor sights , from ice covered trees and bushes to how gorgeous my husky dog looks in the snow. oh and the outdoor cats in our neighborhood. ........i am working on traditional art work atm to i have been asked to do some work for book covers which is exciting to me. 8)Β

well haven't had much time for anything lately i have taken a few pictures but not ones i posted yet i haven't had time to do any editing .. i did do a couple of digital paintings again on the nintendo 3ds. i like them and since they are small dont' take up a lot of time. that being said i put most of them in my scrape book and now wish i had put some of those in gallary becuase they are cute and i hope people look at them.

took a few pictures at the meskar zoo today .. while normaly it is hard to get great pictures there becuase they use wired and chainlink fencing on most of thier habitats .. i did find that it made for an interesting tiger shot ..

still keeping with one of my goals this year is to do a art project each day. the little paintings from colors 3d i have done .. have allowed me not only to work on the degital media but also keep up with that goal. i am feeling good about most of the work i have put into the paintings there and i hope that i continue to progress on it. i have put all my colors works in my scrap booking section.

got a new program on my 3ds called colors 3d .. it is a simplistic program but it is making understanding digital media programs easier for me i think it is a great jump in get feet wet program. it is designed to be viewed in 3d and the pictures are thumbnails.. but i have been just having a ball doing tiny paintings. i have put the ones i have done in my scrapbook 8) for folks to see. they are short term and most of them took me about 30 minutes. 8)

couple more pictures of quida today .. working really hard to get used to the editing program and diff lighting effects it gives. good thing quida doesnt' mind being a model. these pictures were shot through a window similar to the last few i posted. so the camera is having to over look the screen in the window. i have to say if anyone was in the market for a point and click camera that handles most things well i wouldnt' hesitate to recomend the olympus i have. it is hands above the kodacks i had in the past. still working on the two big paintings i had in the works and i want to get some time to work with my wacom tab soon i have been in the mood to see how well it does when just put on a pencil setting just for sketches.

once again another travel trip this time back to the small but wonderful chattanooga zoo. all the pictures were taken late in the evening which was a challenge since point and click camera that i use dont' typicaly do well in low light. ( olympus sz-12 is the camera that i use to take all my pictures i got it for my birthday this year ) but even with indoor lighting and low outdoor lighting i felt i managed to take some pics i really liked 8) i hope everyone likes them to 8)
