A Shutterbug's Eye

It sure has been a long time since my last update, and I've been quite busy with the upcoming holidays. I wanted to show you all a couple of my more recent photos taken with my D100 and editied slightly in Photoshop CS.

This first photo is an informal portrait shot of my fiancee Lori and her kitten Princess. For this photo I used a Sigma 28-80mm lens set at 80mm, so as to crop out unwanted background. I would have liked Princess to have been looking more towards me, but she seemed to have a thing for my tripod instead. LOL.

The second photo was taken earlier this autumn at Beaver Brook Park, which is near the market I work at. I was out about 8am that morning for a walk around the park, and on my way through, this lone tree's color struck me. I decided to use a Pastel filter on this scene to soften the light, and the photo itself. 

What is your opinion?

If any of you are Nikon camera users, I would like to give you this link to a wonderful group of people called "The Nikonians". I have learned so much from them, and nobody talks trash there. You can find them at http://www.nikonians.org

I want to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas & Best Tidings For This Coming Year.

Until next update......
