Better late than never

It is almost a month later... So much for writing consistently.  But I have been working on my photography skills.  I've played with some of the functions on my camera.  It is over 2 years old so it isn't exactly current.

Here are some pics I took while visiting my brother in Washington.  

I was specifically working on the close-up feature.  I think they turned out pretty good!

I got a new clamp light from Home Depot so I could start working on the lighting for taking pics of my cards. Clamp Light

Here are a few new cards I've taken pics of so far.  I still need to work on the lighting. 

I love how these two turned out.  Something about the combo with red and turquoise.  For the purple one, I dyed the ribbon so that one side was purple and the other was blue.   But the lighting is still bad.  I had a lamp on each side and it still looks dull.  

Also, on the agenda is adding a watermark to my photos.  Anyway, this post is long enough for today.  It is frustrating I have so many cards in the last month that I made, and the photos are terrible!
