April 30th

          Hey everybody, I've decided to post every Friday. Sorry about the no spaces in between anything on my last post. I tried to edit it but it still doesn't want to change. Whatever, at least you can still read it. Anyway, did I tell you that I'm saving up for a telephoto lens for my camera? Probably not. Well here's the picture of the IS 70-300mm USM lens.(Ultrasonic Motor, Image Stabilization.)
It's pretty expensive, but I'll earn the money when I work with my dad this summer. He's a painter just to let you know. He works in a company called Remdal Painting and Restoration. Right now I do have two lenses. One is the IS 18-55mm lens which came with my camera, and the second is the 50mm lens.
           Last post I said I'm taking free photography classes from my Uncle. Because of this, I larned more of the advanced settings on my camera which helps me to take waaaaaaaay better pictures.
            Here are some of the awesome flower pictures I took at a park called Hawthorne Park I recently went to.                                                                              
                                                           
Love them! They are like my best flower pics ever!
What surprised  me was that when I used my flash, it lit up the rose's edges, and added the awesome effects.


             I told you I would post on Friday, but today's Monday. That doesn't matter though, because I just really wanted write it all out before I forgot what I wanted to say. I guess that happens when you love to write. :) Anyway, I don't have much more to say, so have a good week, and God bless.

Bye!

I'm Back Everyone!

Hey everybody! Wow, its been forever since I last posted. I just totally got uninterested in blogging, but now I'm back. As I can see, I've got new followers since I've been on last! Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Thanks for the support. One of the reason I stopped was because I thought no one really liked it all that much. Well, let's get back to the present now, not worrying about the past. Last post I said I would put pics on from my survival weekend, but I guess I didn't really take much at the time. But I can still tell yall bout it. Let me see...Oh yes. We found this old road, only a 4-wheeler could get up. At the top there was a turn in where a perfect little place to camp lay, just waiting for a "mountaineer" to come along and use it to his advantage. I guess we were the "mountaineers." We parked and pulled out the saws to cut down some small trees to build a shelter. As the day grew to a close, we finished off the shelter with a sheet of plastic we brought along, and placed on top, just in case it rained. Finally we finished, then we built a fire, just with a flint and some petroleum jelly to get it started. It was nice out that night. Just sitting by the fire, hearing the wood crackle as we talked about certain things. At last we finally got tired and went under the shelter, snuggling up in our sleeping bags. We lay down on some more plastic because of the wet soil underneath. Slide...We found ourselves on a slight hill, slipping down the slippery plastic. Boy that was sure annoying. When combined with the cold weather, and a slippery underneath, you get real uncomfortable. After a few hours of sleeping, we decided to go to the truck, because it was sooooo cold. By the morning, we were all rested and ready for the day ahead of us. Well, that is pretty much it for the survival weekend. Now onto other subjects. By the way, I'm 14 now! Almost 2 months ago now. Getting older also means new exciting things, like photography classes! That's right. My uncle, a professional photographer is giving me free private lessons! I'm also part of this photography club taught by another professional, except she's a lady. I've learned so much, but there's still alot more to learn. Anyway, it's getting pretty late now, so I should probably go. Oh, one more thing. I've got a Youtube acount now. It's called "SaltyDogStudio." Look it up! Later everyone.
