Spring in Phoenix

February may have been cold in Ogden, but the California poppies in Phoenix had already starting blooming. Check out this awesome sunset by the Gila River in Goodyear, AZ

Sunday Morning Snow

If you’ve only lived in Utah, you’re totally spoiled. Why? We have the greatest snow on earth and the bluest skies! There are a few more things too, but I’ll save that for later.

How is Photoshop Elements working out for you?

Photo Hunt of the Week - Light

Bring on the light...one of my favorite parts of Christmas is the clear lights everywhere! I love colored lights also but clear are my FAVE!

Feedback on Photoshop Elements 5.0 or 6.0

I want to buy Photoshop Elements, but now I see there is a 5.0 or 6.0. I’m not into making videos just working with pictures. Any suggestion from you guys? At Costco they are the same price. Thanks for any input!

What's your opinion?

So I am looking for a point and shoot to fit in my purse so I can take photos where every I may be. But I have had bad experiences with my previous point and shoots. So what is your guys' opinions? I am looking mainly at the nikon coolpix and the canon's powershots. I am open to other brands, but I liked the fact that I still had the manual mode on these particular ones and that rapid consecutive shots..since I am usually taking shots of moving kids. Let me know your take! Thanks guys.

Photo Hunt Links

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of loving this Photo Hunt. Here are some links to people's hunt photos:

Don't forget our meeting on Monday the 3rd!

Happy Shooting!

Cloth

My friend treated me to a pedicure and I fell in love with the pillows at the spa. So that became my inspiration for CLOTH.

Photo Hunt and the Next Meeting

We had a great meeting on Monday (the 12th) and missed everyone who wasn't there. Our next meeting is, as planned on the first Monday of December (the 3rd), at 7:00 p.m. In January, February, and March we'll be meeting on the first Tuesday of the Month due to class schedules.

As I mentioned in my previous post, we are starting a weekly photo hunt. The themes are listed on the right side of the screen, the first one being CLOTH. Here's mine:

Everyone is invited to join, member or not. If you are a member of our camera club bring your "hunt" photos to the meeting and/or post them to this blog. If you aren't a member then post your "hunt" photos to your own blog then send me an email and I'll post a link to your site. The more people who join the photo hunt the better. I personally think it is a great way to learn from each other as well as meet new people (blog friends are a lot of fun...trust me!).

I'm dying to see how you all interpret Cloth.

Happy Shooting!

Let's start this thing!

Welcome everyone to the "Through the Lens Camera Club!"

Just to get the ball rolling, here's a photo that I haven't posted anywhere else...which is difficult for me seeing as I post photos everywhere. ;-)

"Spinning"

I am having an idea. What do you think of having a weekly or monthly photo hunt?

Let me know! Happy Shooting!
