Bzzzzzzz - Flowers on Saturday

Linking up today at Flowers on Saturday. I caught this busy guy yesterday afternoon. There was a cherry tree full of them. I pollen flying above him reminds me of welding sparks. Okay, maybe that's weird, but it was fun to watch him hard at work. I don't think he had a clue I was there. 

Thanks so much for stopping in. Have a beautiful weekend!

My Girls

While I was out scouting shoot locations and just enjoying a beautiful Spring day, 

I managed to capture these two cuties...sitting still, and actually smiling...together.  ;)

Have a beautiful weekend!

Dogwood Blooms - Shoot. Edit. Submit.

Here's my pick for this week's favorite photo. I have been loving the dogwood blooms! We have four dogwoods in our yard and they are such gorgeous trees, especially in early Spring. Unfortunately, over the past couple of days the pine pollen has dropped and we're now covered in "green snow" belch. Hoping for some rain to wash it all clean so I can get back to snapping ;)

Below, my image for Shoot. Edit. Submit.:

On Wheels - Panning in Photography

After reading Sarah and Ashley's post on Tuesday I decided to try my hand at some more panning shots. 

My kids are always busy and capturing them in focus is a challenge. They move so quickly, in and out of light and through cluttered backgrounds. Composing a pleasing shot can be quite a challenge. While I wish the shots below had a more interesting background, I still love how they turned out. They hint at the "full speed ahead" personalities of these crazy kiddos of mine. 

I have really had fun playing with this technique!! Be sure to read this week's Tutorial Tuesday for some how-to tips. And you can check out my first attempts here.

Wordless Wednesday - Rose

The other day I treated myself to roses. Just because. 

You should too ;)

Tutorial Tuesday - Panning

Sarah and Ashley have some great tips up today about taking panning shots. I shot these the other day in the back yard and had planned on sharing them this week, so this works out perfectly. I wasn't 100% pleased with them, so I think I'll review their tips and give it another shot. Have you tried panning? It makes for some fun and creative exposures.
