A New Toy and More Success!

More Success! This photo of the barn just was awarded an "Editor's Pick"! Yeah, that means it moves onward in the March contest! I'm still gunning for that camera bag! I did find out that of the hundreds that get an "Editor's Pick", only 10 actually win a prize - so the odds aren't exactly in my favor. Ah well - it's good to dream and hope!


This is one I shot for my neighbor. I submitted it to the March contest as well and it's getting quite a number of accolades from other photographers. Hope it moves on as well!


This is from my new toy. I got a new lens for my camera that's a 70-300mm. I think I'm really going to like this new toy!


Ok - now this is the same photo, but with my Christmas present - computer photo software! This has now got a "watercolor" effect, so it looks like a painting. This is getting really fun!!!


These are some "pick me up" tulips I bought a week or so ago as I was having a serious case of the winter blues. Still do - but at least the photography is keeping me busy!


These are the same tulips - just with a different effect put on them. Now it looks kind of like a print you'd buy at the store - ok, I wouldn't - but somebody might! LOL!

As you can see I am now pretty busy playing with my toys! Glad I moved my computer to the playroom in the basement. So now I can play and spend time with my family! Maybe one of these days I'll actually make some money from photography.............but I'm not holding my breath!
