Nova Scotia Part II

It's a rainy weekend which is perfect for editing pictures!  I'm a little over half done with all of the Nova Scotia pictures.  I haven't taken many pictures lately, I'm trying not to because I have so many in my editing queue!  It will be so great to get caught up and get out shooting again.  After all Summer is coming up and we will be outside a lot!

I've received a few new toys for my camera since the last post.  One being a cool polarized filter for my 58mm lens.  Pictures to follow at a later date.  I got a new camera bag too!  My camera and equipment has outgrown my smaller bag.  I got a Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW and I love it!  So much room for my camera, lenses and toys.  My next purchase will be the flash I've been talking about and I can't wait for that!  Then I will be good for a while...hehe.  It's an expensive little hobby.

A couple weeks ago I did a few group pictures for a class that was wrapping up at work and they loved my work so much that I am now the Official Photographer of were I work.  I get to go to a big government program report launch to shoot at the beginning of April which I am really excited about.  I'm also super nervous!  No pressure.  LOL. 

Here is part deux of the Nova Scotia trip.  There will be a part three for sure and maybe even a part 4 and then I should be done.  Enjoy!

Nova Scotia Part I

The trip to Nova Scotia was amazing!  The weather wasn't awesome though so I didn't get as many pictures as I thought I would but I got quite a few despite the rain and snow.  Next time I go back it will be in the Summer or Fall!  :)

My latest enemy has been editing!  I love taking pictures but am not a fan of editing.  It has its perks and I like the end results after I edit but it's so time consuming.  I have so many pictures from the trip that I would like to sit down and edit.  Then I just keep taking more and more pictures, adding to my editing queue.  Even as I sit writing this, I'm thinking, I should be editing some more damn pictures!  Oh well, I will get into an editing mood one of these days and hammer through them all for you!  For now here are a few from the first couple days of the trip.  Hope you enjoy.
