Michael got me a new lens for my baby (Canon Rebel) today…
Thank you Sweetie…these are some test shots!!!
It was a wonderful surprise!!!
Sorry about the stack of puppy pads in the background…
just pretend it’s something lacy or romantic looking
My Pumpkin Soup Tureen set on a framed mirror…
My focus sure was off but I do like the background bokeh !!!
The learning curve here….dddduuuuhhhh don’t ever take a photo with this
lens without dusting first!!! Pretend it’s fairy dust…
we have a new interstate coming through our area and dust is thick…
the construction is in two areas within a mile or so of our
house and we have had very little rain this year.
I fought the dust and the dust won!!!
Orange “fire”…
The cool weather has given my outside ferns a new lease on life but tonight it is
supposed to be in the twenties so I brought them in.
I thought I would prolong their lives for a little while…
I won’t keep them for long since they tend to crowd me too much.
I always hate to see them die every winter.
Blooms on my Christmas Cactus…maybe it’s a Thanksgiving Cactus???
Christmas/Thanksgiving Cactus, summer ferns and Halloween Pumpkins…
Just call it multi season decorating…
I like my new lens!!!
What lens did you get, Becky? We have Canon Rebel's --and we both have 18-55mm lenses, 55-200mm lens(G's), 75-300mm lens (mine), and a macro lens (G).. We use them all and love them!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas Cactus bloomed early last year (October I think) --but shows no sign of blooming at all this year.... Shucks!!!!!
I tried to keep a fern alive one year during the winter... Didn't work!!!!
Great pictures.... Sorry about all of your dust.
Hugs,
Betsy
Wow! I like your new lens, too. My goodness, but those close ups are clear and love the blurred backgrounds. Great job....have so much fun! My FAVS are Macro and CloseUp shots and then to the computer for even more fine tuning. I guess you could tell that from some of the shots I do on CollectInTexas Gal!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new lens! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time with it. You've got some lovely shots here, even with the dust. Thanks for your visit! – g
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are stunning! Yay for the new lens.
ReplyDeleteI love your multi season decorating too. Sounds like the perfect way to describe it!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Your new camera lens works wonderfully, these pictures are all fantastic! I love that angel of yours.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about cameras, but the pictures look great to me.Don't worry about the dust,it will still be there when you get around to it!
ReplyDeleteI think it says alot that most bloggers seem to have Rebels. My first one was a 35 mm, then a EOS Rebel, and recently a 50 D Love them all, use them all! Great photos! Sandi
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet man to surprise you with a new lens. When I grow up I want a Canon Rebel and lenses.
ReplyDeletei have a question, dear one...
ReplyDeletedo you love your new lens?
lol
i am so happy for you!
and so happy for us,
for look at the delights you have shared! (hugs)
Congratulations on your new lens. I know you'll have fun learning to use it, and we'll enjoy seeing all the marvelous pictures you get.
ReplyDeleteMy philosophy is that when you get a new lens, dust (or anything else) doesn't matter.
What great pictures! And I love your title! It is amazing what you see when you look at your pictures that you didn't see with the naked eye! LOL! Enjoy that lens!
ReplyDeleteThe light and color is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, great photos! I love the subjects you were capturing, just stunning. I have some blooming orchids & my Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus has teeny little buds. Plants are really like children. They are a lot of work, but we are always so proud of them. Have fun with the new lense.
