I have a very willing model in my best friend, Kris. And she lives in the city on a charming street with pretty white picket fences and lush greenery. Perfect combination! Isn't she lovely?

A willing model.
I have a very willing model in my best friend, Kris. And she lives in the city on a charming street with pretty white picket fences and lush greenery. Perfect combination! Isn't she lovely?
We went to PEI...
...and, of course, I took my camera. However, I didn't do anything terribly artsy or challenging. I really just wanted to document our trip. It was wonderful! There were nineteen of us who went, all from my husband's family. We stayed in cottages in Cavendish and relaxed for the weekend. Charlie had a blast with his cousins and the whole weekend ended far too quickly. Hurry up, June 2011!
Weeee! Photog jobs!
I've had a couple of photography jobs in the past few weeks.
1. An old friend of mine from school, Patti, wanted some pictures done of her fantastic, gorgeous children. That was the easy part. Since I've been shooting manual, I'm not always the best at figuring out the correct exposure. Long story short, the rain, mosquitoes, and dim lighting meant a great photo shoot turned into a challenging one. My ISO was too high, resulting in noisy pictures. Patti was very cool about it and thankfully, since her kids are so photogenic, we got some good shots, as you can see:
2. I had the opportunity to take photos for some local dance classes. It was a blast! I won't post any pictures from it but I took five classes of dances, ranging in ages from three to sixteen, outside for some quick shots at their last practice before a recital. Haven't seen that much cute in one place in a long time. Thanks for the opportunity, Nicole and parents!

Long time, no post!
Yikes. It has been a while.
We've had a crazy-busy month and while I've dragged my camera along with me, I haven't had a lot of time to sit and upload. I've been doing a lot of playing around with my camera, but oftentimes the results aren't what I'm looking for. I'm particularly interested in getting sharper images with my manual 50mm lens, and it's a struggle. I also began shooting in RAW, which I really like. A few pictures from these practice times, featuring kidlet, my gorgeous niece Violet, and our first red strawberry in our little patch (which has since been followed with 35 quarts of delicious berries):
