A Few Favorites

Since I haven't had time to update the ole' blog a whole lot the past couple months I have decided to just pick a few of my favorites that span what I have been doing lately. so here goes:

In the beginning of December I rented two lenses, a 100mm macro and a 11mm-16mm ultra wide angle lens, to get a feel for what I wanted to buy next. I ended up loving both of them, and buying neither.

I used the UWA lens to take pictures of the famous Star Barn, here is my favorite of those shots:

And I took the Macro lens to Longwood Gardens:

This year something happened that had only happened two other times in history, a lunar eclipse occurred on the winter solstice. So obviously I had to drag Garry out in the middle of the night and take pictures until 3am in the freezing cold. Here are the two composites that I am going to frame and hang b/c I was so happy with them.

Two of my very good friends had a baby in November and I asked them if they would allow me to take some newborn shots of the little guy. They were very nice and agreed. Turns out I am not the greatest at newborn photography. But I did luck into a few goods shots. This is my favorite:

In October a friend of mine from high school asked me to take some photos of her brand new engagement ring. I was more than happy to oblige:

And I took one of her puppy Jinx too. This guy was so excited I am frankly amazed I got this shot.
