Summer time is here…

It has already heated up down here in Houston. Back to lawn work and floating in the pool! We have had a lot of butterflies and moths out this year and I have been determined to get a good pic of the gorgeous butterflies. They seem to pass through our yard though and not stick around. This moth did seek out some shade on the porch though and when it opened it wings I was shocked to see the purples/oranges when it looked like a plain ole brown moth with its wings closed. I managed to snag this picture before it took flight again.

Now to capture one of the huge yellow or orange butterflies that have been eluding me.

New Fisheye

I have been playing around taking pictures with my new Fisheye lens I got as Christmas gift. It takes some really fun pictures and I realized quickly I had to be careful of my feet, hat and shadow in pictures. Here are a few of my favorites so far. I can tell I will be using this a lot for my picture a day in Project Life.

My camera is a Cannon EOS Rebel XSi and the lens is a Sigma circular fisheye 4.5mm 2.8.
