Still busy II

Hello!
In honor of reader C.D. having a new baby, I have kept my writing to a minimum since he has so little time for reading.

I am just that kind of blogger!

That is a great excuse, right!?!

I suppose I have just been super busy like the rest of you trying to get so many, many things accomplished.

I wanted to share a couple of photos with you and then I have got to get back to being busy!

I really
really
really
really
really
really love my new camera, except when I hate my lack of knowledge on how to use it!
I know so much of it is going to be trial and error with a few great pictures mixed in with a overly large number of terrible shots.
I will try to share the good ones with you!

With that thought in mind...
I was transfixed by this Japanese Maple which is around the back of our church building.
I hurriedly took a few shots of it last Sunday before bible class.


Then, knowing I hadn't captured all of it I wanted to, I went back after services and shot a few more.



This one....oooo la la, love it!!!





I got distracted along the way by this fellow...


and by the sun shining thru the trees.



I read and read for quite awhile on Friday (with little comprehension I must add) about how to take good action shots and set about to do just that at my sons black belt testing.

Yes, I set about to do it.

Yes I did.

Instead, I got this...

It is an action shot alright, but I got a little too much foot action!
Lesson learned...take way way more photos than you think necessary or else all you get is foot and blurry shots!

Have a great week!
I think I will be back here before Christmas but just in case...
Merry Christmas all.

PS
I have been working with the program that came with my camera to adjust the colors in photos.
Not sure that it made much difference, but here are a few.
