Cheese!

I took photos for some friends at their daughters' birthday party yesterday. And tonight I'm taking photos during all the dance classes at church. I'm really getting into taking photos. I'm sure I have tons to learn about the proper way to compose a great photo; but our Nikon D40x makes taking good pictures so easy. (Do I sound like a commercial, or what?)

Here are just a couple of the 200+ pictures I took last night at the party...

How sweet is that last photo? It's so fun to be able to catch sweet moments with the camera.

And funny moments.

And action-packed moments.

I also like to try to take artsy photos sometimes. I actually took these with the point-and-shoot camera I always carry in my purse, then I futzed with the colors in Photoshop.

I took those at my grandparents' farm house not long before it was sold. I also made a black and white version of the chicken coop photo. I like black and white photos.

Maybe I should be a photographer. Or maybe I should just stick to taking pictures for fun and leave photography to the professionals.
