I’m finally getting around to working on my sister’s bridals that we took the day before the wedding in Idaho last month. It was 100 degrees, there was no shade, the scenery wasn’t what I’d been expecting or hoping for, we were shooting in the worst part of the day, and we were running out of time. I was terribly disappointed by the results. Thus the delay in processing.

But, anyway, here she is:

I was looking through Christmas pictures, and this one cracked me up. Just wanted to share.

I finally got a fisheye lens!! I’ve been wanting one for as long as I’ve known they existed (about 10 years). It got here last Tuesday, so I tried it out over Thanksgiving break. Here are a few to start with.

Hiking the “riverside” trail….but where was the river?

We found the river!

After the hike:

More to come!
