First day of photography in a while

I finally got a chance to get outside today, and photographed some flowers using my 55-250 mm lens with my fathers set of extension tubes.  I was really interested to see the results.  It started to rain really quickly though so only took a few shots.  Hopefully tomorrow it wont rain as much and I may be able to get a few good shots.  Plus I would like to try and photograph some insects.  I'm working on getting an adapter to reverse mount my lenses but I have not bought it yet.  But I did try out my fathers extension tubes for the first time.  They seem to work very well.  I really want to try the extension tubes with a reverse prime lens.  I'm hoping to get some really nice macro insect photographs this summer.  Plus while I was outside today a hummingbird buzzed over me, and I'm hoping to get some shots of him too.  I will try and get some nice shots and get them uploaded.

Home!

I'm finally home.  But wont be around this weekend.  I'm hoping to finally get a chance to get out and finally take some nice photographs.  Woke up this morning to the sound of a pileated woodpecker.  It was pecking at a tree in my back yard.  So I'm hoping that he starts to frequent the area and I may be able to get a chance at some shots.  I cant wait to take my first trip out to the bashakill and hopefully get some shots at some small birds and warblers.  I have seen a few orioles and I would really love a shot of them.  I will hopefully have some shots by the end of next week.

HTML for Photography Blogs

I had some free time today after my final, so I decided to add some html to my blog.  It will no longer allow viewers to right click on anything.  So you can no longer right click and copy an image.  This will not stop everyone from copying your images, but it will definately hinder them.  I believe this is a good thing for most photographers who are trying to protect their work.  If anyone wants to know how to do this for their blog, just send me a message or comment.  I will get back to you as soon as possible. 

Finals Week!

Finals week has arrived!  Next tuesday is the last day of school, then hopefully once I'm home I will finally be able to get out and relax.  Cannot wait to get out and take some photographs.   I really hope I can take some amazing  photographs this summer.

Sorry

Sorry I have not had a chance to upload in a while.  Its the last week of college and finals are next week.  So I've been very bust keeping up with my school work.  Hopefully after finals I will be able to upload on a regular basis again.  I really can't wait to go home and walk the Bashakill Wetlands.  It should be awsome this time of year.  Hopefully it wont be to buggy.  But even then it will be better than the white walls of my dorm room that I see every day.
