I was sorting through some photos and came to a folder I had labeled ‘probably garbage’.  I decided to play with cropping to see what I could get.  I’m kind of glad that I save everything.

Ok.  So this isn’t PERFECT, but considering I was attempting to shoot macro hand-held on a windy day…

I love the colors!  Wish that leaf in the foreground had been sharper, but hey, it was a fun day of shooting at Sachuest Point with Sue.

Hi everyone!  I haven’t been posting as often as I would like, but I’ve been busy getting some prints ready for sale.  I opened a shop on Etsy about a week ago, and I’ll be posting more items soon!  Stop buy and check out my shop when you have time!  www.elpatenaude.etsy.com

As always, thanks for looking!

Rainy day in Newport

I managed to capture a few images between showers this morning…

“a garden is never so good as it will be next year”–Thomas Cooper

I look forward to seeing what these spring rains will bring.  Every year is better than the last.  How lucky I am to have such an inspiring view just outside my door.

 

My first post!

Hi Folks!  Spring is here and I asked myself “Could there be a better time to pull out my abandoned camera gear and start shooting again?”
