Diggin’ in the Crates {Volume II}

Back in February during the 2010 Winter Storms in Dallas, I was able to capture these photos of the berries that grow on the tree in my back patio area. These were shot with my 50mm 1.8 shortly after I bought it.

I ♥ the bokeh!

 

Dog Days

Personally, I’m not a really dog person. But lucky for me I just so happen to know a bunch of people who are. And their dog’s just so happen to be great subjects to photograph.

Meet my cousin’s dog, Tyson:

And here’s TJ, he’s my friend’s puppy:

Diggin’ in the Crates {Volume I}

I have a ton of pictures saved in my picture library. No, really, like a LOT. And most are of photos that I’ve taken since I got my camera in 2009 that I’ve never posted or shared before for no other reason than the fact that I was scared to put myself out there.

Well, now I’m ready!

Diggin’ in the Crates will be an ongoing feature on my blog where I’ll share pictures from the past from various occasions, photo sessions, and events that include my friends, family & life’s moment that I feel are worth sharing.

During the Photography 101 course that I took last year, one of my assignments was to take a Window Light Portrait and here’s the photo that I submitted.

Here’s a photo that was taken in March 2009 at a friend’s 30th birthday celebration. It was the first time that I had taken my camera out with me to shoot in public.

Camping Adventures

Every year, the first weekend in June my cousins take an Annual Camping/Tubing trip to the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, TX. With this year being the 3rd annual, and I was so excited that I was finally able to attend. 

My favorite part of the entire trip was floating the river but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get any photos while on the river. I did, however, get some great photos of our campground and some of the details as I saw them.  

Enjoy! 

Life jackets were on hand for those who needed them & they had plenty of tubes to go around. 

  Shortly after setting up camp, people watching was next on the agenda. 

  And as the evening rolled around, there were less and less people floating and more people fishing. 

 Here’s a shot of the campsite & river the morning after when all the other campers packed up leaving just a few campsites occupied.    And here’s part of our gang packing up and getting the food back in the picnic basket ready to make to the trip back up to Dallas.  

During the 2 day trip I took a ton of pictures, here’s a slideshow of the rest!
