There, now that I've shared that wonderful event with you, I thought you might like to see some of the pictures I've been taking with my new camera, which is an Olympus PEN E-PL1.
I've really been enjoying the "Art Modes", especially:
Grainy Black-&-White
Me... a self portrait. (That is my bookcase behind me and you can just see the corner of my jewelry worktable on the left.)
Pop Art:
Wild blueberries. (one of my earliest shots... the focus here is not perfect)
And...Soft Focus:

| Look at the background... see how soft and dreamy it looks? |
I also liked...
Gentle Sepia:
Daddy on the porch.
Pinhole: (darkened edges)
And the Macro is impressive! Look at this picture:
I call it "The Unfortunate Tomato". Lol!
More next time!

Love the pictures, Julia! Sounds like an awesome camera. :)

Awww... thanks for posting about my giveaway, Julia! I really appreciate it. :) And thank you SO much for your order! ;D That brought a real smile to my face, dear friend. I'll be shipping your bag out very soon! ;)
ReplyDeleteOooo, I LOVE the pictures, especially the one of you and the one of the tomato. How neat! :)
-- Love & Blessings,
Lindsay <3
i love all the pictures. you are very talented. :) the last one is my very favorite because of all the detail!
ReplyDeleteI love the wild blueberries picture. I also love the macro setting on my camera. (-: I really enjoy getting those close-up pictures. And I'm always impressed when I see any other picture with perfect focus that's close-up. I know, you said yours wasn't, but it was close!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh the pictures are awesome :D
ReplyDeletelove the picture of the bug! I love all the pictures! I really like your header... wish I knew how to do something like that!
ReplyDeleteI love the gentle sepia; gives it a nice antique look; does your camera have a color choice thats kind of a bluey color? Oh, and the soft focus is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteHello Julia!
ReplyDeleteI found the link for your blog on a friend's site, and just wanted to let you know I stopped by! :) It's very beautiful, and I've had fun reading some of your posts! It's amazing to 'meet' a Christian homeschooled girl who lives in America. I also visited "Warfare by Ductape" and I loved it, can't wait to show it to my 16yro and 14yro brothers! :)
Anyway, just wanted to say hi! God bless you,
Jasmine (Australia) <><
Aww! Poor Tomato! :)

P.S. I'm Skylar. I just turned 14 and I home-school. I'm a newbie at your blog. :)
Hey there girly! I was thinking about you and thought I'd come see what you were up to, and it seems you're up to a low because your blog is not. LOL :)
ReplyDeletehugs!
Julia,
ReplyDeleteYour blog makeover looks lovely! I scrapbook, and the decorations, especially the jeweled flowers, remind me of the embellishments I could use on my pages. You did a splendid job; I like the combination of purple and blue. =)
I thought I would 'drop you a line'; I discovered your website through "Joyfully at Home" and I wanted to laugh at all our similarities! I love to read, I love to write, I love to (swing) dance, I love beautiful things, so I am sure I would love making jewelry, and I am also a homeschooled Christian teenager. I have journaled since the age of seven, though only on paper; writing is one of my favorite things to do. And guess what my name is?
Julia!
God bless!
