In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: October 2014

Who the Heck am I

Welcome to my blog, I ran out of storage space on my last blog so instead of purchasing more space I decided to start another.

Photographing is one of my biggest passions in life. I've been a photographer for 20+ years. Although I have sold some of my work I consider myself an advance amateur. Which means I'm pretty good at pretending to know what I am doing. I arrived from Massachusetts to Northern Kentucky September 16, 2001. I hated it, for months I complained about living here, besides all the redneck jokes I would get there was nothing about Northern Kentucky I enjoyed, when I got over myself I dusted off my camera and headed for the hills, literally, I never fully understood what a beautiful place this is until I was given my first digital camera as a Christmas gift. In all honesty you couldn't get me to move out of this state.

Living so near to Cincinnati (I live right across the river) no other city can offer me more. Art museums, Cincinnati Zoo, symphony, theatre, aquarium, amusement park, Dozens of parks, one of the largest and most amazing firework display in the country and so much more. If you are from the area you know what I am talking about, if you're not, believe me when I say In and Around Northern Kentucky is worth the visit.

I know you will want to check out my other blog, I have shot photographs at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati Zoo, Creation Museum, Eden Park, Findlay Market, Fountain, Square, Krohn Conservatory, Rabbit Hash, KY, Railway Museum, Smale Park, Spring Grove Cemetery and much more.

Halloweenie and a Haunted Cemetery

As I was walking through my dining room I noticed the reflection on my wall from my window decals.

Okay so here is the deal, tonight I am headed to a haunted cemetery so stay tuned I might get some photos of ghosts....I hope.

Looking Into the Future

So today I told my husband that I was buying a new lens and that I was going to let him choose which one I got....

The Canon 1200mm lens for $120,000.00...or

The Sigma 200-500mm lens for $25,000.00...or

The Canon 800mm lens for $13,000.00 or........

70-200mm lens for $2400.00

Now remember he has to choose one....lol. I really wanted all of them but the reality is I wanted the 70-200mm, needless to say he thought the $2,400.00 price really didn't seem all that bad. Wish I could have it tomorrow but maybe by the Spring.

I wonder if this same method would work with the Escalade I want? Probably not, with my luck I would end up with a Smart car.

8/365

Thank God for manual focus. I didn't use any of my up close filters and no matter how hard I tried automatic focus wouldn't work at all. Not bad for using just the lens.
