Macro Lens

For a while I have been wanting a Macro Lens for my camera. Utilizing depth of field is my favorite way to create interesting photos. So for Christmas I was finally able to get one and below are two test shots of my first run.

Shooting a puppy who likes to run and move was more difficult than I thought. Through some persuading with treats, I was able to get him to sit still long enough to get two shots.

The first image is the one I like best. Focusing on only the eyes, I believe it creates a sense of emotion in the puppy.

For the second image, I wanted to focus on his nose and the dappling of color on his snout. I think I was able to capture what I was looking for but still feel the first photo is more successful.


















Each were shot with a 50mm lens at an aperture of f1.8 and a shutter speed of 1/60.

City Names

I have been playing around with word names and photographs representing those words. I started with cities, Cincinnati and London. I went two different directions with these, Cincinnati has one image and London has several images.

I am still messing around with these to make sure that I get what I want.

Blog Update

So I have made a decision to split this blog into two. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to make it more a daily, in the life blog or strictly an artist blog. I am keeping this blog as my artist blog only. It will only reflect the art projects that I am currently working on. I have decided to move my daily activities and crafting whims to another blog. The address for this is http://theeccentricjournals.blogspot.com/ (fancraftic was taken - serious bummer). I have also made it one of my new years resolutions to post to that blog everyday. I will be updating this as I complete projects.

Final note! I changed the layout of this blog along with my others. I needed to freshen it up. Hope you like it! :)
