Last week I met with my friend Mikhail to go over the basics of photography including focus/apertures/shutterspeed/ISO. You would think after having a nice camera for 4+ years that I would know the basics but I have honestly been pointing and praying the picture would work. After the mentoring session, I ordered a new lens for my nikon (just arrived over the weekend!) - he emphasized I need the right tools for successful pictures and this included a new lens, so I made the commitment and ordered the pricey item. For those of you curious, I ordered a AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens. ALL of these pictures are PRE-new fancy lens.
As Roswelle just turned one, I am making my love of fun photography and blogging more of a priority. Paul has his hobbies/passions: a crossfit membership + a garage gym full of kettle bells, rings, and a squat rack. And I have mine: a new camera lens, flower arrangements, and half-marathons. ;) It makes us healthier individuals, partners, & parents to feed our passions and I'm thankful we make it a priority.
I met Mikhail last week at a cool coffee/wine/beer bar right near his house in Medford. Tamper Cafe (#tampercafe or tampercafe.com) has it all including a delicious menu, a full drink menu and an inspiring atmosphere. I highly recommend for anytime of day!
I can't wait to share pictures with you with my new lens!! It makes me REALLY happy.
