Life Through The Lense

Since Winter break from work and school, I've had quite a bit of time on my hands to familiarize myself with some technicalities of photography and to shop.  Let's just say I've kept my father, my bandwidth and my bank card pretty busy!

One of the things I've enjoyed the most about my new found love is shopping for camera supplies on Ebay.  I received in the mail this week, an external digital speedlite flash by Yongnuo, a deluxe flash bracket by Bower, a Vivitar wide angle lens with macro, a Vivitar 2.2 professional telephoto lens, a set of four Vivitar close-up macro lenses, a hard tulip lens hood, and a 5 piece digital filter kit by Bower.  As you can see, I've been in heaven this week! I couldn't wait to try my newbies on and when I did the results were breathtaking.  I grabbed one of my favorite bracelets from my ridiculously excessive supply of jewelry and snapped a shot with my macro lens.  The details in the bracelet are breathtaking!  I've posted a link below to the bracelet for your viewing pleasure :-)

As for more photography adventures, I discovered the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum located at 3415 Olive, 63103, in downtown St. Louis.  This is the only museum in St. Louis dedicated exclusively to photography.  Every first Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., they hold special exhibitions focusing on the art and science of photography.  I didn't make it this Friday but the next one is scheduled for Friday, February 7 at the same times.  To make sure I don't miss the next 11, I've plugged my calendar because like my favorite song by the rock group Aerosmith, "I don't wanna miss a thing."  Until next time,

Your Moments. My Life.
