Adventures with my camera Part 1
On our property
I really enjoy photography, and, while I'm not that good at it, I still enjoy photographing the beauty of nature. The greatest enjoyment I get, is photographing our property. Because we live out in the rural sticks, I'm always finding interesting photo opportunities. For example the photos down in our canyon are really breathtaking.
Other photo opportunities on our property are of the wildlife. We have a rabbit and hummingbird that comes around. Both only show up for the food. I'm okay with that, though, because I really enjoy seeing them.
I think I did a pretty decent photo job of the hummingbirds. Since they flutter around so much it's hard to capture them on film.
When I captured the rabbit with my camera, I tried out my zoom feature. Getting close to a wild animal was just not going to happen. First off, I'm pretty sure he'll hop away. And, unless he's rabid, I can't see him letting me get close enough to take a picture of him.
Other little wildlife animals that come around, are birds and the occasional squirrel. The squirrel loves to steal food from the bird feeders that I put outside. Yet, regretfully, I haven't caught him on camera doing it. While that would be an adorable picture, I'll have to wait until next time.
Other pretty photographs to take on our property are one of plants. We bought some at the store last year and planted them on our property, but, regretfully, only a few plants survived the cold harsh winter of New Mexico. Some did, just not the Bougainvillea and the Hibiscus. Which were my favorites. Luckily I took some pictures of them before winter.
The Hibiscus photos also turned out really gorgeous!
That's enough for now. Next time I'll put up more photos. So, bye, bye, for now.

My interpretation of Double exposure Photography
I've always thought that double exposure photography, done with either Coreldraw or Adobe Photoshop, was really neat. And so I really wanted to do it myself. Yet, I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to purchase either one of these two graphic design programs. That's where GIMP comes in. It's a free drawing/graphic design program. Just what someone, like me, needs who either has no or little amounts of money in the bank.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
