Autumn and Photography

Good morning!

I just love this time of year! The Autumn colors are in full bloom, it's the perfect time of year to drink apple cider or hot chocolate, bundle up in warm clothing and play in the leaves. There's also the yearly hayrides, watching the little kids trick or treat and the fact that it's mostly bug free! I have been very busy as of late which can be good and bad. I am just starting to get over a cold which has been going on for about a week and a half. Recently I have been busy with having the creative bug so to speak. A friend of mine introduced me to Photoscape and I have been hooked since. I've become inspired to become a better artist and photographer. I have been reading various photographer blogs and one I came across suggested classes and reading Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. By the way, Dani Stephenson danistephensonphotography.blog… is amazing with her pictures! She is the one whose blog I came across. Looking at her pictures is such an inspiration to me and if I could be half as good as her I would be so happy. Be sure to check out her blog! Also, check out Krystal's page while you're at it krystalmuellenberg.squarespace… as well as Kate www.katecraftonblog.com/ , and Jessica jessicasandsphotography.blogsp… . These women really work hard at what they do and it shows. You should be able to find them all on facebook if that's your preference. Also I came across two other photography pages. One of them is a lovely couple called The Saylors and his wife used to be my high school Spanish teacher gallery.me.com/gilsaylor and another fascinating photographer is www.gregorybyerline.com/#home/ . It would be wonderful to study under any and all these amazing photographers. I am hoping that eventually I will get the wonderful honor of studying under someone and in turn it would hopefully help me to improve not only the way I see things but how better to understand cameras. I would LOVE to have a Nikon that is 10+ mega pixels but that shall have to wait a while.

I have recently started blogging the various pictures that I have been playing with. I started the blog about four years ago but forgot about it in the craziness of life. I came across it again some months back when looking over various blogs. Feel free to take a look at and comment. missmegsramblings.blogspot.com… . I was up until the early hours of this morning continuing to work on pictures so I hope to have quite a few more to blog about today. I am trying to squeeze most of them into one blog so as not to over blog (if there is such a thing) and it's a lot easier to look at over one blog than many. I touched up a friend's picture so if he doesn't mind, I'll be posting that as well.

I have many, many projects in mind as well as seeing if maybe I can make a dent on my writing oh and homework as that is due Tuesday. I have a bad habit of waiting until the last couple of days to get things done with my online courses.

Well wish me luck and I shall try to keep up on my various updates but I can't say when I may next update.
