Black & white...

It's hard to get floral shots, that look good in black & white. Once in a while I get a shot that I like. I really need to get new flowers in my flower beds. Haha...




Here is another 'in color' shot.



Hopefully I will discover new things to photograph. The owner of the field next to us, come thru and cut down all his weeds, up next to the road, cleaning off the property line. That is where I got all of my berry, thorn, and odd bug shots. All of that is gone now. And we seem to have a 6 foot pet that likes to slither around and he's chased me a time or two and quite frankly, I don't care anything for him. We normally just see it in April/May time frame, once and that is it. But we see him a couple of times a week now. And I just don't like it. So needless to say, I don't walk around laying on the ground and taking photos anymore. I kind of stick close to the house. So.. for now, it's yellow floral shots. Haha..

Stephanie & Banyan, wedding bliss....

A week ago from today, I went to one of my best friends wedding. Stephanie and Banyan, have been dating for a long time. They finally got married, June 6th, 2009. It was a very simple wedding, but turned out great. She had alot of family there and I volunteered my photography skills, as a gift to her. I think for my first wedding, considering, I do mostly nature shots, I did a great job. I am impressed with my own work. She looked beautiful too.... here are a few photos.

The next two below, are probably my favorite.





I have many more photos on my photography myspace page. www.myspace.com/kristys_photography Check them out!!!!!

Congratulations Stephanie & Banyan!!!!

Cypress stumps...

Here in Virginia, you will find alot of cypress tree stumps. Beautiful actually, sticking out of the ground, some have just amazing shapes and holes and such. We went fishing this last Sunday, on the Nottoway River, in Virginia. I got several shots, but have one that sticks out to me most.

Summer time photography...

I don't get out much in the winter, quite frankly, I hate to be cold. That means, with summer time, I will be and about more often. Tho.. when we go fishing or biking, I won't be carrying my large camera around. You will probably see most of my work done in my Kodak EasyShare. If I drop it in the water, or it gets ran over by a car, it's not as much money lost.

We went fishing at Lake Airfield, Virginia, I think it was called. There is an old house there, I think it use to be a gas station and grocery store. It's empty now. It's falling apart. I got a couple of shots I like the other day and wanted to share.

Love

Here is a few shots of the white daisy I got the other day that I hadn't shared yet. I have never gotten a shot like this, using the petals spelling a word. I was holding the flower, trying to come up with another creative shot and was like, hmm, and I thought of the whole "he loves, he loves me not" thing.
