Spiders and Damsel Flies!!!

Today I was determined to take pictures, but I didn't know of what. So I went with my husband and a friend to play Frisbee Golf we came to a creek. I began looking at different ways a bridge was constructed to photograph and when I was tromping around in the creek I came across a bunch of creeping animals. Here are a few that I took of damsel flies and spiders. EEEK!

Spencer the Weimaraner Dog

So, the weekends are the time when I can actually go out with my camera and shoot. This weekend, I really didn’t have a subject in mind. My husband and I went with some friends on a hike and they brought a dog. So, I had found my subject. This is a Weimaraner dog…well puppy he is 16 months old. His name is Spencer. He was very rambunctious the entire walk so, not too easy to shoot. What can you expect from a puppy? However, there were a few shots I liked.

I also had some fun playing with Photoshop. This is my first time ever doing anything with Photoshop, so it was a fun learning experience! I really liked the picture of Spencer with the road…but all of the shots had his leash in them. So, I took out the leash. I also changed the saturation of his eyes just a little. When comparing the two photos, you can see where the chain would have been is a little fuzzy with the pattern…but practice makes perfect!!!

 

Train Trestle at Tioga Falls

Yesterday, my husband and I went to Tioga Falls to enjoy a hike. When we got there we learned it was a muddy mess. On our small walk we came to an old rusty train trestle. I was excited because I was able to get some pretty neat shots of the rust up close. I am beginning to think that these up close shots are pretty cool with all the textures and designs you can find. It was also a good trip for finding symmetry. Overall the trip was muddy, but I had fun with the rust.
