Hands On Photography!

Canadian Scrapbooker ‘s website has a great new feature called Hands On Photography!  Written by Sue Sykes, it provides practical info on how to make the most of your camera, and simplifies getting those shots you KNOW are possible with your camera, but you just haven’t figured it out just yet!

It also features photographs submitted by readers who try out the techniques featured!  Here is a link to a photo I submitted, which was featured on the blog on Friday September 25th:  Jump for Joy!

Speaking of photos – I finally found the missing card from our trip last summer!  It has the photos I took in ALert Bay, and on the ferry through the Inside Passage from Port Hardy, BC to Prince Rupert.   Here are a few samples:

 What can you do with YOUR camera today!!!??????

A cool photography site. . .

I made a really fun discovery the other day and want to share!  You may be familiar with Allison Orthner – a photographer and scrapper who writes for Canadian Scrapbooker and has been published in numerous scrapbook publications.  She also hosts Crop and Cruise events where you can crop while you cruise ( how great would that be?????)

I love her blog and website – check them out here and here – they are full of inspiration for your photography and scrapping!!!

The funny part?  Even though I have been a fan for a while I never realized until this weekend that she was my LOCKER PARTNER all through high school!  We finally caught up with each other on Facebook and put it all together!!!  Small world!  And its been fun to catch up after all these years!!!

So check out her blog and website – they are terrific – and maybe you will even want to join her in Cancun as an instructor or participant at her next event!!

And on another, completely different, tangent – here is one of the layouts for a class I am teaching at Scrapbook Parade this weekend – there is still a spot or two available – 10 pages using the terrific Garden Grove collection from Scenic Route!

 Happy Day everyone!
