Photography

Tue Oct 21, 2008, 8:05 AM
Hi everyone! In addition to jewelry, I've been including photos in my gallery. It's funny how one thing leads to another. I used to be into photography awhile ago until my camera took a good hit, on the side of a mountain, & stopped working. Many of the jewelry photos in the gallery were taken with a point & shoot film camera. My friend suggested that I get professional photos of my work. She pays $200 (American) for each piece - way out of my price range. Also, Michael of CosmicFolklore suggested that I use a macro lens for jewelry photos, because it was hard to see the details of my pieces. Well that was it! I got my old camera fixed & bought a used macro lens for a reasonable price. In addition to being happier with the jewelry photos, I rediscovered how much fun photography is. I use an OM1N manual 35mm camera with a Tokina 28-85mm 1:4 zoom lens & Olympus 50mm 1:3.5 macro lens. I wouldn't mind having a digital camera, but that will be for sometime in the future. What I have is paid for & works well enough.

Romans 8:28 (New King James Version) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. I love Jesus Christ. He died for you and me. He loves you so that means I love you too.

Thanks for the add on Kain II. He's a good boy, most of the time. Now the pastures dried up, and they are fighting over hay. I have to do separations at this time of year, until they figure out, no body has to starve.

I really like the shimmering lake. Think I'll use it for descriptive narrative in my next book?
