BoBunny...Layout Challenge...

Well another one of my all time favourite lines is BoBunny... and when I got my hands on the new Mama-Razzi Line.. I was so excited to create with it... and then the BoBunny Layout Challenge was posted.. and I thought what a perfect opportunity to create with the Mama-Razzi Line and try out the sketch.. I decided to just do one page from the sketch.. here is the sketch

and here is my take on the sketch...

Also... stay tuned... as June 1st... along with the other Scrap~tures creative team members are putting on a blog hop.... hope you can join us...

Photography Seminar...with Pictures...

Photography Nature Seminar - Duncan and Wright - Instructor Paul Sparrow...

Well all I can say is what a day we had at Mountsberg Conservation Area ... we could not had asked for a better day.. the sun was shining...and the temperature was perfect at 18degrees .... and by default my photos where critiqued by Paul Sparrow himself... We started off our morning with an in class session on what we were going to be doing for the day.. and received tips on how to get the perfect shot... so with that under out belts we then we went out into the field, me in tow with a loner Sigma Lens....150-500mm and my brand new tripod... and off we went to first shoot Flora and Fauna...and that is where I took shots like this...

yupp that is a snake in the water...

This one I was told had great abstract and it was beautiful and it had nice things going on...with a little cropping it would be worth enlarging to print..

This is my favourite out of the Flora and Fauna session

We hiked to another spot to take more flora and fauna pictures... here are some shot from that spot...

Then off wen hiked to the Swallowville... wow let me tell you the 150-500 sigma lens that I was using was perfect for this.. I got up close to these birds without invading their space.... and here are some on my favourite photos...

I will be posting pictures of the birds of prey... which was our afternoon session... soon..

Getting ready for....

To attend the Nature Photography Seminar... this Sunday.. put on by Duncan and Wright. The instructor is Paul Sparrow and we will be taking pictures at the Mountsberg Conservation Area.... I can't wait to learn and take pictures...
