A new lens......

Ok, so it's been awhile since I have logged on and updated my blog and I'm sure you've been wondering what has been goin on. Well, for starters I am excited about the fact that I have a new lens. A 50 mm 1.4!! What does this mean? Well, for starters it means I can capture some pretty great shots of some very beautiful horses with the background displaying what we in the shutterbug business refer to as "BOKEH". Now, I was confused about how to pronounce this word so after asking many friends and with the help of wikipedia I have learned that the proper pronunciation is "boquet". That's right, just like a boquet of flowers. Which anything associated flowers makes me happy. This word does too. I don't know what it is about this strange word that I have recently learned. But I just love the way it makes a picture look. So I am dedicating this blog to just that: Bokeh!! And I am going to post a few pics that display this wonderful new word....................B O K E H!!!!!!
This is a necklace that I made. Yes, that's right!! I made it, and it's actually pretty snazzy. But that's a whole nother blog all together. Now, see the background here. There's some bokeh but not alot. I still like the picture though. Maybe I am just a little biased. hee hee





Ok, so I know this is a strange picture but it's a perfect example of my beloved new word. And it was by sheer accident that I even took it!! I accidentally hit the shutter button while parking at my son's school when I went to pick him up on day. But, needless to say, it's a great example of Bokeh.









Oh, aren't these beautiful? I have so many pics of flowers with some very wonderful Bokeh in the back ground but alas, I could not post them all. Any way my friends this is just a little sample of what I have been up to lately. This along with, making jewelry and taking wedding pics.....but, those are blogs that will have to wait... Much love to all my family members!!
