Thunder Bay Beauty

Sometimes, I just really love Thunder Bay.

New SLR!!!

You guys... I finally got an SLR!
So there I was, Christmas morning opening up my gifts, when I open up a Nikon D7000!!! It was so unexpected that I shed a tear or two. After all, I really wasn't expecting to invest in one of these bad boys until the Spring. John really surprised me and I couldn't be more grateful. It really is a thoughtful gift more than anything especially since he spent so much time researching what would be best for me.

I got 2 lenses today too during the amazing Boxing Day deals! So right now, I have a 50mm 1.8d & a 70-300mm VR and I'm so pumped up about each of them.

John came with me today to take some photos and I am definitely still learning how to use my camera in general but we managed to get some beautiful photos. I particularly love the shot above and it's completely unedited.

I can't wait to continue using this amazing camera and seeing what types of creative projects I can come up with. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!

Industrial

I have a feeling this is going to be the start of a beautiful relationship with Industrial photos.
Ever since I discovered the National Geographic website, I have been beyond inspired to take different types of photos that I would never have thought to snap before.

However, I'm still editing photos because I find with my camera it's hard to take a perfect photo unedited. Ugh! One day, I will have a better camera, one day.

I've also decided it's my dream to just take photos of the world from anywhere and everywhere which is why I need to make it my mission to travel at LEAST once a year to somewhere new. I just need to take photos of beautiful things, it's seriously the most exhilarating, heart pounding, most amazing feeling for me. When I took these photos, I'm pretty sure I was driving in a forbidden place and the rush of it was out of this world. And these photos aren't even that good! Haha. I just love it so much.
