Birds of the Pond

December 27, 2009 – 11:11 pm

The weather was gorgeous today. Sun shining high with not one cloud in the sky. I knew I wanted to take some photos today. So, I took my new camera backpack I got for Christmas and rode my bicycle to a nice park near me. I rode up to the pond and their were birds everywhere on the ice covered water. Glad I brought my macro lens with me to get some good photos of these great winged creatures.

Birds can be really hard to capture in a photograph at times. Especially, when they are flying at the speeds they do. I took around eighty photos of geese and seagulls but these are the only ones I felt were the best. It was a good challenge and will do it again soon.

Wetland Wednesday

Crane_Bronx_ZooIts been rainy here all day. Rain rain rain! Geez. Please rain go away for a few weeks and come back another time. I want the shining hot sun so I can feel like it is summer and I can be outside more. I had a sinus headache today but its going away. Woohoo!

Did you all hear the news? The sad sad news? Brooks & Dunn are going to go their seperate ways after a 2010 tour. They have been together since 1990 but they decided it was time to end their duo. Brooks & Dunn, I will keep you in my ears and never forget one of the best country duo’s out there.

Okay, my camera situation…I do not feel like talking about the whole story. Just that its stil going to be a little while before I get my camera back. I will survive. I will find other things to do. Maybe, I will write more. Maybe I should share some of my poetry with  you all.

I took this photo a long time ago. It was freshman year in highschool. My biology class went to the Bronx Zoo. I took a few photos there of the great animals. This was one of the cranes. I thought this photo came out pretty nicely. Especially, since I was using a canon point and shoot. That was my first digital camera until that broke and I got my nikon d40. So, what do you think of the shot?

Well, I am going to stay up a little. I need some late nights this summer before I have school and start passing out early. I will be up for awhile surfing the net, listening to some good music and talking to homies. So stay safe and happy. Peace.

Fly Seagull Fly

August 10, 2009 – 11:10 pm

Flying_Seagull_by_Anna_ZiskIt was sure hot here in New Jersey but with sun shining all around. It actually felt like summer time. It would of been a perfect day to swim with the fishes at the lake if I was there. I will definately go swimming this weekend when we are up there if it is nice weather.

So, my lovely mother of mine took my cracked screen laptop to the mac store today and I did not think I would get it back for a few days. When she got home I saw my white laptop her her arms. I was so suprised. Sadly, it is not fixed. It costs around seven hundred dollars to just fix the screen. So, instead my wonderful mother said we can go look at pc laptops and get one. She is the best single mom in the world. Oh, you want her? Too bad she is mine! Go get your own mommy. I love you mom! *kiss*

Some sad news. I still do not have my camera. I do not know when I will get my d40 back from them. These people seriously need to get it back and fix it so I can have it back in my small hands. How is this photographer gal suppose to practice and show off my photos to the world if I cant shoot them? Huh? Well, if I do not get it back in a week I might just have to go to the store and starting bitching. I will become their biggest hell. This little angel will become a big devil if I do not get my toy back soon.

Look. I see a bird! Its its a seagull. It is not a plane or superman. It is a seagull! Do you like the photo? I took it a long time ago when I went to the beach. It came out pretty clear. One of the best bird photos I have. Like my copyright stamp? I made it today for my photography. Anna is going pro.

I hope you all had a nice Monday. Hopefully, everyone stayed nice and cool. I will talk to you all soon. Peace.

Oliver Back PorchHello! I hope everyone had a nice start of the week. I did which always is good. It was nice weather out so I went outside and took some photography of flowers, plants and my dogs. Did my daily chores, walked the dogs, listened to music and just enjoyed the day. Sadly, the weather is suppose to get icky in the next few days which means my sinus headaches going to come back but I will survive them. I am enjoying summer. Lots of time being with my dogs and I am enjoying no school. I am happy though that I am finally a senior! Which means last year of school forever unless I decide to go to college. I have not decided yet. I will have to see where my life takes me or where I take my life.

I was sitting at my kitchen table earlier on my laptop and i looked outside the door window and saw an American Goldfinch flying around in the backyard. They are such beautiful birds. If you did not know the American Goldfinch is New Jersey’s state bird.

I decided I need to start taking photos everyday. There is so much to photograph and the only way I will get better is practice. So I am going to get myself out there everyday unless its raining.

Look! Its Oliver! I took this photograph today outside in my backyard in the lovely weather. Oliver was just laying on the porch watching me take photos because he is such a curious little boy. So I turned the camera to him and took a few shots of his cute face. He has such a great black spot that makes him so unique looking. When I was out there I took a whole set of photos of my dogs but really I only kept three or four of my favorites. The others weren’t good enough to me.  Hope everyone has a nice night and will talk to you all soon. Peace.
