A collection of my photos that I think (hope!) are good, and hopefully continue to get better as time goes by!

Woodland Cemetery

When I got my last camera I happened to be in the neighborhood of Woodland Cemetery and stopped there to take pics. I came away with a nice shot of the city. For those of you not from the Dayton area, Woodland is where the Wright Brothers, Erma Bombeck, and some local celebrities are buried. It is also absolutely beautiful. So I had to go up there last weekend to take some pics. I think I got some good shots.

This is my recreation of my earlier shot.

I just liked the light in this shot.

I like the contrast in this one - the cold stone against the bright leaves and the sky.

I thought this memorial was just beautiful.

An awesome piece of trim on a memorial.

New Camera and Cake

I got a new camera! It is a Canon Rebel XS. I am learning how to use it . . . quite slowly actually. Anyhow - during the learning process I have been taking lots of pictures of cake. I know that is weird, but it gives me some practice with exposure, and ISO, etc. I have been making cake because my friend Stacey at work has been taking a cake class and she has inspired me. The funny thing is that I don't really like cake all that much (at least not enough to eat a WHOLE cake) so I make it and then give it to other people. :) The first one went to Mom and Dad and the second one went to work. Aahh well, at least they served their purpose, right?

This one was with my old Kodak digital.

With the new Canon - this was what was left after my get-together the other night.
I took it to work - it was really a big cake!

Besides being a big cake, it was also pretty good. I used Mom's recipe
for Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake. When I took it to work today the
reviews were good!

Pumpkin Patch

Shelly, Tracey, Jackie, Carmella, Meredyth and I went to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. It was a great place to take pictures, if a bit chilly. Too bad I didn't have my new camera yet! Here are a few of my favorite. These aren't perfect quality because they were more action shots, but I liked them anyway.

Posing!

The contrast of Mel's coat with the pumpkins was nice.
