All about Photography

If you clicked on this post thinking I’m going to teach you ‘ALL ABOUT PHOTOGRAPY’ for your blog or just in general.
No. I am not.
That is not at all what this is about. I really should have titled this post “NOT All About Photography”
But I couldn't, because it's full of photos! 


I recently had a Teen-Teacher, with a very keen eye for photography come to my house to visit. She took some great shots around our place and allowed me to see them. I told her how wonderful they were and how she had such a wonderful knack for photography. I asked her for some tips.

But first let me show you an awfully funny photo—I snapped pre Teen-Teacher! 100_1735 “Audrey”:  YES! IN MY HOUSE….(we’ve got to get that screen door repaired!)

Now on with the show… lots of pictures to follow. But definitely better quality than you’ve most likely seen here before!

“STRAY  Sun-flower”  before Teen-Teacher Photographer—100_1756 AFTER:  100_1776 Precursor to the next two photos: Here is the deal; we started a lot of plants from seed. They were in a little flat tray sitting outside getting some morning sun— and a gust of wind came along and toppled that tray over. So yes, I mark my plants…but once toppled – it’s just a guessing game at that point. 100_1794
The Honey calls this squash—but No, says I. I don’t think the blooms are large enough—I think they’re cantaloupe~ You may “chime in” – in the comments and tell me what you think. YOU WIN NOTHING FOR GUESSING … just the satisfaction of guessing correctly. I’ll let you know as soon as there is fruit on the vine! :) 100_1791“CORN” close-up100_1785”RED ONION”100_1797 “TOMATO PLANT”100_1798”WEED”…100_1813

So much more interesting…don’t you think? 100_1847 Looking up!100_1800

BLACKBERRIES: (not the digital type…but the delicious type!) 100_1811
A Hoary Frost on the black berries—100_1856 just before I bagged them up to go back in the freezer~
Over all… I think these photos turned out great! I had a wonderful time hanging out with my Teen-teacher… you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
These photos (for the exception of the watermark) are untouched! They look pretty good to me—but what do I know about photography?


If I believed in LUCK… I’d say mine is running out, by looks of this horseshoe over the barn door.

I love that washpot. My mom had one and I remember her using it in the summertime. (Yes I'm really that old). lol

It looks as if Audrey knows exactly where she's going. Love that picture. It's my desktop now.

I tender my vote for squash (sorry, Pat, I have to agree with your Honey on this one, but it's been years since I planted squash. I could be wrong :) p.s. I love your sunflower!

Cindy said...

Hello my friend,
It's true, you can teach old dogs new tricks, this old dog is still trying to learn more about photography. I have no close up photos on today's post, perhaps I should. Yours turned out great, hurray for you!!!
Hugs, Cindy

Well I like the hen wondering in the kitchen the best!! so funny--just love it. I didn't get any blackberries this year--we used to get them where we walked and now we have moved from that area!! They look yummy.
