Through Tam's Eyes

Last spring, my hubby and I got to spend a little time with each other before our youngest arrived.  He loves to hunt and target practice, so we went out into the desert and shot at targets.  While we were out there, I decided to take some pictures of him shooting, to capture the shell being ejected from his gun.  I also took some pictures of the saguaros in the area.

This picture’s shutter speed was 1/2000, f-stop at 3.5. My focal length was 50mm.

The next three pictures are of a saguaro that I found on our way back to our house.  This picture’s shutter speed was 1/80, f-stop at 5.6. My focal length was 200mm.

For this picture, I am not sure which I like better – the top one without the super saturation of colors or the bottom one with the super saturation. What do you think? This picture’s shutter speed was 1/80, f-stop at 5.6. My focal length was 105mm.

I know, I haven’t been keeping up with this blog.  To be fair, my kiddos have kept me extremely busy.  But, here is one picture of our newest addition to our family.

Lily was born June 2nd and has completed our family.  And yes, that is red hair.  Apparently, it runs in both sides of the family even though it hasn’t been seen in a couple of generations.

The pictures’ settings were 1/40, f-stop at 2.5. My focal length was 50mm.
