Lisa’s 365 Project 72/365 – Picnic at the Airport

We decided to have a little picnic after church today and watch the airplanes take off.  I was surprised at the number of people there.  The girls had a lot of fun.  Even my oldest enjoys watching the planes take off.

I love the picture below.  I am so happy that I had the camera in my hand at that moment.  I don’t know what they were saying to each other but they look so cute.

Lisa’s 365 Project 71/365 – Geese on the Pond

I wanted to find a nice place to take pictures during lunch today.  I drove around to a park where I had taken a picture of some flowers.  I thought I would try my macro lens on them, but they were not there.  So I drove around until I thought about freedom park.  I walked around for a little, sat by the pond and took a picture of a few geese.  I’m not 100% happy with the background being blown out, but I still like the geese.  I used my new macro lens for these images.

Lisa’s 365 Project 63/365 – Macro Photography

I’ve been saying how I wished I had a macro lens….now I finally have one.  Its going to take a lot of getting use to and I’m going to need to pull out my tripod because my hands are not steady.  I saw on a youtube video today that its best to start out with smaller apertures so that is what I did with most of these except the white petunia.   I selected f/2.8 for it because I wanted the petals to be a little softer.

So here are some of my first pictures with my new lens. The first one is my favorite because it is of the mud pie my girls made today.
