Ok… so I’ve been so excited about a few things this week that my Project 52 had just fell through the cracks… Good news is, they are ALL photography related ( so I can forgive myself) Bad news is.. I’m not sure I will have a new picture to post this week.
First off.. I got a new lens this week. I sold my Sigma 30mm 1.4 and my Canon 85mm 1.8 to help fund a Canon 35mm 1.4 L!!! I am so excited. I haven’t gotten to use it much yet… but beware… its coming!
Second… I am meeting with a group of photographers to go on a fun photog excursion tomorrow. We are headed to Dismal Canyon in Northwest Alabama to chase waterfalls. I am driving part way in a few hours and then we are carpooling the rest of the way. So I don’t think I am going to have time to post later, so I thought I better do SOMETHING!
So here is one of my favorite shots ever. I love sunflowers and we are blessed to have a patch planted by us every year. I was just informed a few hours ago that they are open and waiting for some pictures! So thats first on the to-do list for when I get back!!! This image was taken last year. Its not technically perfect, but I love the light and the expression on my son’s face. I hope you all accept it as my submission for this week and don’t kick me out! I promise to fill my posts with dramatic scenes for next week of guess what!!!???! WATERfalls! Perfect timing, huh???
Now don’t forget to make the rounds. Hop on over and see what Cara of Victoria, Australia has in store for us!!
