New Blog

I have moved to a new blog. Come visit me at http://www.jenaphotography.com/blog.
I'm working out a few small kinks but it is up and running.

Curved Triangle {Shapes}

We went to a fish fry earlier today. It started to rain so we came home. We did eat and get a chance to walk around a bit. We saw the horses for the horse/tractor pull. That is the only thing we missed. On our walk I came across a church and saw this lovely curved triangle window.

Smoke Art

My friend Chris showed me how to do this and this was my first attempt at creating smoke art with incense. I'm pleased with these ones but there is still room for improvement. I'll post some more after I've practiced a bit. You should check out Chris's @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cellis/. His smoke images are on the 2nd and 3rd pages right now, they'll bump down when he posts more, but you'll still be able to find them but they are definitely worth looking at. Thanks again for the tips Chris!

Dozer Tracks {Shapes}

You are all probably thinking what shape is this? These are tracks on a dozer that is sitting in our driveway. It is a shape of sorts but what shape I am not sure. I guess you could say lines as lines is a shape. If anyone knows let me know.

Names {Shapes}

One of my favorite snacks is Cheez Its. I saw these in the store and just had to get them for the girls. I'm using them to get them to find letters, spell words and etc. So, today I thought I'd spell their names in a photo. I know I know we are not supposed to play with our food. Just couldn't resist.

Circles & Hearts {Shapes}

As you can see the first photo is a bunch of canning jars which are circular. I know not very exciting but didn't plan too much for today's photo. It was taken in the store while out running a couple errands. Second photo is an aerial that I took yesterday. It looks to me to be the top portion of a heart. This one was taken 1 mile up off the ground above the clouds. Finally the third photo is of the Booe Family Sawmill which is 2.5 miles down the road from us.

Maryssa's Wisconsin Shoot

Here are a few pix from our random photoshoot in Wisconsin. We found that dress for $4 and decided to take it out for a spin. We found some cool murals and some people to let us use their boat. It was awesome!

Glee!

While I was in Chicago last week, Maryssa and I met the cast of 'Glee.' They were all so nice. Here are some pix I got of them at the Q & A at Orland Park Mall.

Swirl Crop Art {Shapes}

This week's theme is shapes. I do believe this photo fits the theme nicely. This farm field is not far from the house. Hope to get some more crop art photos soon. I could not decide if I liked it better in color or in b&w. What are your thoughts which do you like better color or b&w?

Aerial Photos

It's been awhile since I've been able to post some photos. I started a new venture with my photography. Flying with Matt in his Citabria airplane and taking Aerial photos. I used my 100mm macro 2.8 lens on this first 2 and on the 3rd I used my 85mm 1.8 lens. Tomorrow I'll be getting back into posting daily. Hope you come back to see some new photos.

Barn - This one will go in my barn series that I'm working on.




And finally the Citabria that we fly in.

I'm Back!

After an exciting picture-filled vacation, I'm finally back in good ole Indiana. I've got a pretty busy day today, but should resume my blog tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well. :)

Blog Update!

Just in case you thought I was slacking off..I'm in Canada and am just now getting internet service. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get on the next couple of weeks but I'll be back in the states before you know it with lots of new pictures and posts. Oh, and I also can't answer my phone because of outrageous roaming charges. I can still text though if you need me or you can e-mail me at photochyckphotography@hotmail.com and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!

Joseph & Jaimie's Wedding

Congratulations Joseph & Jaimie! Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day! :)
