or photo's for most of my life.My first camera was a box type brownie my parents brought me as a young boy.
This was my start to Photography and going on to complete a four year course at one of Philadelphia's
top rated Photography School's.And today I enjoy the outdoor world where my lens takes me to produce beautiful imagies that surround me.Landscape,seashore,
pets and family portraits are my enjoyment, thank you.Abby - Rose Freelance Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04250425185850113703noreply@blogger.comBlogger70125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105891314442051926.post-45849751435399190292013-12-25T19:49:00.000-08:002013-12-25T19:49:11.543-08:00Sunset on Christmas Day 2013:<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-okoIqtBEnuc/UruKedHvprI/AAAAAAAAMc4/U9ZQUov9hmM/s1600/IMG_0051.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-okoIqtBEnuc/UruKedHvprI/AAAAAAAAMc4/U9ZQUov9hmM/s400/IMG_0051.JPG" style="clear: both; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a> Christmas Day is always special for <br />
me and Joan as we remember our special angel is watching over us trying to keep us happy on a day we both miss him. Never seems to get better with time. We wouldn't have it any other way. Every thing we do on this day or holiday we ask ourselves what would Dougie do and can we do it even better. Sometimes we think the holiday is more about shopping and what we all want for Christmas. But the real reason of Christmas can be found deep in our hearts and looking towards the sky.<br />

No jacket in hand but my camera on my shoulder. This sky I have seen come and go so fast so many times.So no time to stay warm. Catching a photo moment come's once in a lifetime and this was the day. The sun was out all day and very cold but never did we think the sky would light up.<br />

These are true color's that you see and maybe one was darkened for a better affect. As<br />
you know the sky and landscape around us are my favorites. So if this was a message from heaven on the day after Christ was born, than thank you and God Bless all that may read this in time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And long and behold it seems every place we live seems to have ducks, seagull's or some kind of flying bird that draws our attention to the sky. On this day was no different as the farm up the street has a monster pond with a horse training track<br />
around it the the mallards (ducks) seem to stay for the winter and keep everyone in tune with the sound of nature. So as I did a photo shoot of the sky the ducks wanted to share the moment of their Christmas noise and I loved it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You can see in some spots the bright<br />
sunny sky trying to push through the clouds of color and sunset and the naked tree line standing tall as it wanted the color of leaves to return on this day. But as the sun is stronger and brighter ,over the years it tends to make the sky as one beautiful portrait in color<br />
to see from all over the world.<br />
This is the only photo I may have darkened to bring out a sky of darkness and a tree of redness. The limbs are more defined and show energy as they reach for a sky that may be a blanket to rest on.<br />
I hope you enjoyed this Christmas album and always look up as you may see sunshine, rain , clouds, snow , a bad storm coming or just the sound of nature or a shinning in the sky you will never forget. The sky as the ocean holds so much to see and our surroundings are there every day for us to enjoy. Happy Holidays to all and may our men and women in uniform have a great one also. Never forget your past and always look to the future.<br />
God Bless,<br />

purchase a new Canon EOS 60D camera.<br />
Not that my older Canon EOS rebel<br />
was out of service, but it was time to<br />
look beyond the box and advance to the big boy of camera's.<br />
<a href="http://localhost:49178/a803d864a615677053a68646f5a0e28b/image/cf1e9916f3735f4b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://localhost:49178/a803d864a615677053a68646f5a0e28b/image/cf1e9916f3735f4b.jpg?size=400" style="clear: both; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a><br />
I have been looking at the EOS 60D<br />
for some time now and with all the<br />
sales going on and saving $300. on<br />
this camera it was a no brainer. I see<br />
that over the years camera's, TV's ,<br />
phones and computers have changed every other 3 to 4 months it seems. Now<br />
I need a degree to learn to use it.<br />
<a href="http://localhost:49178/a803d864a615677053a68646f5a0e28b/image/969a589459a599e5.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://localhost:49178/a803d864a615677053a68646f5a0e28b/image/969a589459a599e5.jpg?size=400" style="clear: both; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a><br />

To my right you will see a few pictures I am sharing with you as I research the manual and learn page for page. The birds I shot from across the room and through a brown shade to capture a beautiful still life photo.<br />
The fake flowers were also across the room but the color's are outstanding to pass up a moment like this.<br />
I know one question on your mind is, why pots and pans. Had to look up and use the view finder which can change on any angle for high or low shots. And than below I used my computer to enhance a picture with so many idea's you can fullfill your dreams with Photography. And lets not forget my kitchen at night shot with a few digs to change the image and turn a color print into a dark night.<br />
<a href="http://localhost:49178/a803d864a615677053a68646f5a0e28b/image/37bb95190db7063d.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://localhost:49178/a803d864a615677053a68646f5a0e28b/image/37bb95190db7063d.jpg?size=400" style="clear: both; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a><br />
As with so many changes in the photography world we are using new methods to a camera and turning our pictures into Photo Art that may someday hang in a gallery.<br />
My wife Joan had a pumpkin with a blacks bird on it, so before it came down for xmas items I enjoyed the last of fall color's with pushing the computer to show how a picture can run your mind and take chances you may have past on before.<br />
So far the new camera has showed me new ways and with a learning from a manual I may not like but must trust the booklet. I was more of a learn myself guy than going by the book. But in the new world of many buttons, I have changed a little. Thanks for following my blog and hope to give you idea's of the photo world, thanks<br />

As a Freelance<br />
Photographer my field of dreams can be a vacation or just a walk in the woods. A camera is like a wallet, you should never leave home without it. I have and missed so many dream photo's. Call me lazy or just forgetful.<br />
But I still manage to fill my eye's with family, pets, wildlife, indoor studio and and other place my lens take me.<br />
My grandaughter may be my best model, but her sister and brother do well on their own. Everyone loves a camera. Some smile and others just enjoy the moment. And I find a natural pose can do the trick.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ylz6J9OjMuo/Ufxx96tDXhI/AAAAAAAAMQQ/MmFs89dWtGI/s1600/Abby%2527s%2BPhoto%2BShoot.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ylz6J9OjMuo/Ufxx96tDXhI/AAAAAAAAMQQ/MmFs89dWtGI/s400/Abby%2527s%2BPhoto%2BShoot.jpg" style="clear: both; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a> Abby showed me moves like a pro.<br />
Them cartoons must be good help. And my flowers photo's jump at you when all together on paper. I have so many nice collage's that I find myself<br />
changing my desk photo every week.<br />
Also changing the background color will help shine your work and even bring the color's on the subject to life.<br />
When we do a collage we try to fill the frame with at least 6 bto 8 prints.<br />
And some make large with others in<br />
a side view or up and down look. <br />

Some of your top artist make a era and never change the look. Do your thing and may it be from the camera or on the computer, bring it to full view. As you see below I did or changed the garden prints to a new high by throwing in a little computer skills and giving what I feel can be called Art Photography 101.<br />
Maybe the two years of Art 101 and 102 helped me with Photography school in the end.And my cousin can be called a real New York Street Artist in the Villege.I love his work and he makes a good living from it.<br />
He is the true Artist. And I am the give it all photographer that enjoys a<br />
good photo shoot. I could never make a living from this, as I enjoy giving my work away to those who enjoy it.<br />
The feeling of someone enjoying what you do make you want to do more.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Than we have the family collage that I did for mom and her 5 girls. Than I<br />
made all a copy and made their day.<br />
A picture will last forever in the hearts that enjoy it. I could never get all 5 together at one time. So the collage<br />
idea came to mind. Even put in a few children and spouse's. So enjoy the field of the collage and show all the talent you have in your heart.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And lets not forget my indoor shoot of house item's that a doll, fruit and plant<br />
will give you a welcome to any home.<br />
The window plant and yellow wall was my best. And the apple made a good half time snack after the shoot.<br />
Your subject matter can be anything you wish and putting it all together is fun. So look around and step outside or walk the beach or back woods and make you own collage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Last are my four legged babies. A pet<br />
can be your best friend and they love the camera. Shannon the girl in the middle is my top model on four legs. She at 10 years young has had more photo's taken of her than Brad Pitt.<br />
And Mike, Rocky, Shamrock and the rest of the gang are all number one to me. As a rescue dog Shannon helped me through being retired at a young age but never lets me down on any day. She picks me and Joan up when we are down. And never leaves our side. Love is real and having a good friend can be from animal rescue.<br />

Some say geek<br />
and others say cool. I was taught to take care of the landscape and make the outside look refreshing. My family<br />
always had a yard. Some small and others big. My brother and I shared the outside duties. And this is where my garden days began. Every house I had after growing up had some flowers and vegetables of some sort. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And a lily seemed to be a favorite for any yard that was planted. The many color's and styles seemed to catch my eye in the garden center. And as a photographer you<br />
seem to run your lens up and through the garden looking for that special print to shoot and maybe mat<br />
on a mat board to sell or hang on your own photo wall.<br />

My red hot lily was brought to life by using special<br />
on-line tips I picked up while playing with different<br />
ways to bring a photo to the table.<br />
Anyone can take a picture, but learning new ways to explode the print into another world that a new generation will understand best.<br />
Times change but the photo is still the photo. Black and white of yester-years<br />
are still hung in many galleries around the world. And color photo's are the new thinking of todays young or<br />
fast shooting photographers. The field<br />
is stronger than ever and changes in the photo world happen every day. I<br />
myself take pride in black and white and other tones along with color.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As this chocolate lily brings the in between of color and darkness. Never settle for just a picture. Download to your computer and use the tricks and<br />
treats the computer world offer's you. Use your mind when making the final<br />
print to show your friends and family.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And than there is my pink lily that I seemed to treasure most while making this print. Years ago I used a dark room to bring a photo to life. We used chemicals, lights and hours getting a few good prints . Today the fast shooting camera and computer make the prints. With the help of the person pushing the buttons. So enjoy your camera and don't be afraid to take a chance at something you feel will work. Enjoy<div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Abby - Rose Freelance Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04250425185850113703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105891314442051926.post-48295554397233431172013-06-16T18:05:00.000-07:002013-06-16T18:05:10.258-07:00Greatest Rock and Roll Band Ever -- Rolling Stones --<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

but I had to share what 50 years of the Rolling Stones have done and still going strong.<br />
No other band in history has stayed together and are still doing tours world wide. I was 18 when<br />
they first hit the states on tour after the beetles landed. Two English groups that changed the<br />
music of a young generation . Today they are on stage doing shows with a much younger crowd<br />
and going up agains't new groups and holding their own.</div>

of Rock seem to come alive and travel the world and still look not as young but full of good times and music that brings the stars and fans out to another concert of Rolling Stones.</div>

I myself would love to see them in concert<br />
and be close enough to see Mick Jagger perform up and down stage. I was at a concert in the 80's with <br />
Joan and Robin and was the best. These are not my photo's, but would have loved to be close enough to take them. Enjoy,</div>

Group and we have a service every<br />
year for the men and women that <br />
served our country in time of peace<br />
or war. We are a small group but as<br />
the town grows and future veterans<br />
will take part. Our WW11 vets are<br />
becoming less as they make their<br />
final journey to the promise land. And with two wars coming to a close the next generation of Vet's will come forward and carry on what many have started years before.<br />

Many lives were lost through many<br />
wars and hard times that men and<br />
women step up and serve the country<br />
we love so much. So as you flip that burger or eat the hot corn at a party or event, remember that the lives of others made this possible for you to<br />
enjoy, thanks and God Bless America<br />

on the computer and using some idea's<br />
with other color's and changing the format of a photo. I see a different way of seeing how a artist shows his<br />
or her feelings on canvas as I try to <br />
do when picking the perfect photo from a group of many.Now I see colors jumping at me in all directions<br />
and the results are amazing. The future of photography can only be in <br />
the person behind the lens to capture the moment with a super fast eye that only the true artist photographer can catch. Color's bring results and you may be able to sell more than you can shoot.<br />

<br />
With invert of color's on some photo's we can bring to life a negative type of photo that only before could be seen in a darkroom.<br />
And with a sketch print you bring the feeling of using a drawing board and not a camera. With a course in drafting in high school and a few art classes in college I learned you can share these idea's<br />
in photograpghy and still call it Photography.<br />

My blue tone in a garden photo brings only the idea that photography may not only be black and white or a scamble of many color's. You may not understand the theory of my mind , but I see a<br />
landscape or object in other ways that maybe you may not. I was always a fan of color's and trying<br />
to figure out how I could change backgrounds and<br />
bring to life another view from another angle.<br />

Not because I am low on work to post. My</strong><br />
<strong>computer is loaded with photo's waiting to be put or turned into large prints to use for the name of ----- Abby Rose Freelance Photography.----- Today the subject will be what I do after</strong><br />
<strong>I get the print back from the lab that handles my prints. I will mention their name as Nations</strong><br />
<strong>Photo Lab which I turned to after Kodak stopped printing after many years of high quality</strong><br />
<strong>prints from a company that ran the film processing business for many many years. As they say all good things come to an end. But Nations Lab showed me it wasn't the end of the world for</strong><br />
<strong>beautiful prints. Now to what happens after the print comes to me. I have a good friend in the frame business that mats and frames anything I bring his way. He is the best frammer around</strong><br />
<strong>and takes pride in his work. You name it and he can frame it. His matting line he uses top grade matting boards and any color you may wish. So Ken handles most of my matting and frame</strong><br />
<strong>work. I also work with another company that make all you need to mat your own prints with</strong><br />
<strong>mat boards, backings, self tape , and bags to finish off your matting project. This is where I</strong><br />
<strong>learned to do my own matting and layout work to ready my prints for framming. I have become quit the pro in turning a print from Nations Lab and than using material from Bux 1</strong><br />
<strong>store to help me become a photo matting pro if I can say that. But Ken still is my number one guy to handle most of my prints to mat and frame. Everyone needs a special trade to support a family and the good things in life. As a meat cutter most of my life I was able to have a living and raise a family with a nice home and I enjoyed my job. But when I retired from work I needed a pass time to keep me busy. So all the earily years of Art classes and four years of night school learning all that photography has to offer kicked in. So never say never is to old to start your dream. I may not be making a fortune from photography, but I am making alot of people happy by giving them a view of themselves or showing them the great outdoors on a fine matted photo print. And it keeps my little lady glade that I am doing what I enjoy in my work. So if you feel the need to enjoy my work or would like one of my treasures signed by me as I do all</strong><br />
<strong>my work. You can reach me at ----- <a href="mailto:djmcconney@verizon.net">djmcconney@verizon.net</a> ---- or <a href="mailto:djmcconney@gmail.com">djmcconney@gmail.com</a> --</strong><br />

I seem to make it , this is my #1 seller. Taken on a farm in the back woods of West Virginia that a friend of mine has. It was a sunny day and walking down a cliff going to a pond down below and a fall day with leaves falling into place and making it a picture waiting to be snapped. A light blue sun filter<br />
was a must because the sun was over taking me with much brightness. And the cool morning chill<br />
felt good just being myself and silent was all around me. So far I have sold two 20" x 30" to two<br />
young ladies that found it as you say, under their spell. Also have sold three 11"x14" at a craft fair in<br />
other places. I try not to sell doubles unless the demand is there for them. But only order reprints as<br />
needed.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DZhulSgJMZg/UMVl5YojhWI/AAAAAAAALYc/FRXJnWqDCD8/s1600/IMG_1215.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DZhulSgJMZg/UMVl5YojhWI/AAAAAAAALYc/FRXJnWqDCD8/s400/IMG_1215.JPG" /> </a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oZzWSFT8-5o/UMVl6JWyzSI/AAAAAAAALYo/RCeL3mHq0fU/s1600/Outer%2BBanks%2B2008%2B088.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oZzWSFT8-5o/UMVl6JWyzSI/AAAAAAAALYo/RCeL3mHq0fU/s400/Outer%2BBanks%2B2008%2B088.JPG" /></a> My crab man is a guy thing for someone looking to add to his man cave or den or just hang in a fishing room dreaming of the next catch he and his friends could hit the water for a good time. A recent craft show a woman picked up<br />
three different matted photo's I had of the Outer Bank for a new addition for her den. As you can tell by going through my blog that I preferr the outdoors as most of my subjects. I would be in seventh heaven if I could pack up a camper and go up and down the east coast shoreline and maybe a trip cross country to fill the many wonders I look forwad to shooting my camera. Good Bucket List?</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ti3BLtPJEI/UMVl68es8hI/AAAAAAAALY0/DdlrzJDCh7o/s1600/IMG_1482.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ti3BLtPJEI/UMVl68es8hI/AAAAAAAALY0/DdlrzJDCh7o/s400/IMG_1482.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jWeXIVTRdrM/UMVl7lN_ZSI/AAAAAAAALZA/CCVIdjdIiVo/s1600/IMG_1213.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jWeXIVTRdrM/UMVl7lN_ZSI/AAAAAAAALZA/CCVIdjdIiVo/s400/IMG_1213.JPG" /></a> The tree and barn photo is a referse negative done on the computer that made the print look like a negative. Great color and sharpness turned a so so print into a treasure that someone besides myself would enjoy. And than the photo below was changed with computer images that inhanced the beauty of a canyon that my sister-in-law shot on her travels cross country. She and her spouse both fly planes so this may be shot from the air. Another one for my BUCKET LIST would be a photo shoot from the sky. Not sky diving though.</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7gjfs9aTeY/UMVl8af9r8I/AAAAAAAALZM/98HeGgb5wtM/s1600/IMG_0343.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7gjfs9aTeY/UMVl8af9r8I/AAAAAAAALZM/98HeGgb5wtM/s400/IMG_0343.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YIHppiIzNxI/UMVl9XoE_aI/AAAAAAAALZY/BJhREnYZrCU/s1600/IMG_0770.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YIHppiIzNxI/UMVl9XoE_aI/AAAAAAAALZY/BJhREnYZrCU/s400/IMG_0770.JPG" /></a> Last would be my queen bee out for a sunny snack and using my micro lens to get up in her face. The colors and her shinning coat made the print even more as a selling point to outdoor lovers than my whole animal collection for sale. I try to please all subjects when I display my work at a craft show. Would love to frame all of my work but the price for framming would out do the cost of a matted print. So I leave calling cards on my table to the frammer that does great work for the one's I frame for others or my beautiful wfe to hang as she likes.<br />
So thank you again for taking time to look at my world and hope you pass my blog on to your contacts to enjoy as well. Ever photo you see is for sale so ask if anything catches you eye, thanks<br />

I can only feel sad or upset that<br />
Kodak left so many photographers in the dark when they pulled the plug on <br />
printing photo's from a lab that has watched other's go under and had a span of 100 plus years turning out beautiful prints the world could enjoy.<br />
Than to pass all their work or customers onto a second class lab that will never be Kodak Gallery.<br />
I myself<br />
was lucky to find a new company and<br />
lab to do as I see now, much better work and at a price maybe not quite half of what Kodak was doing for so much more. Maybe they thought they were big enough to charge prices that others could not match. And the latest prints I have done with my new company are outstanding with quality and clear finishes with texture never seen with Kodak. So I guess I am saying thank you to a company that I thought was number one, but was really just a name taking advantage of years of sucess. These five photo's are from <br />
top to bottom called --- Branches Gone<br />
Wild ---- Thin Layer ---- Orange Ice<br />
Pop ----- Old Than a Nation ----- Prom Queen<br />
Maybe my blog is never seen by the outside world.<br />
But I only hope anyone that my see this blog in full will enjoy the true feeling of Photography and Art.<br />
Maybe I see my subjects different than<br />
the Artist, but we both have the love or same feeling of how we plan to display it on canvas or paper.<br />
On November 17th 2012 I will do a craft<br />
show that I plan to have many of my master pieces that I only hope others will stop a clance at and enjoy what I have taken the time to express myself by showing my world to them.<br />
So if by chance you are free on that day <br />
you can catch me at the Four Season's<br />
Club House in Columbus, N.J , from 9am till 3 pm. Photography is a wonderful thing and enjoyed world wide by people like myself with minds that travel into light for a subject waiting to be found. Thank you,<br />
Doug<br />

The sky was dark and the weather was not in a mood to have a photo study done of the moon , venus or the sky. So I did a photo shoot of the moon as I saw it and turned a little white dot into a gallery of fine colorfull prints to add to my world of photography.<br />
I was never a artist in school but I did take 4 years of drafting and design and than a year of map drafting and design before deciding to study photography in a Community College background with art courses and photography as a second major. Than after two years I went on to study at Antonelli Institute Art and Photography for three more years with degree's in <br />
Commercial and Portrait Photography. But it was years later I learned with the touch of a finger you could bring to life on a computer the photo's you thought were so-so. But never put me in the same room as a real artist. They are the true masters of the canvas with tools they use to bring art to us as never before seen. They are the true , as I say " MASTERS OF THE ART WORLD "<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So study my prints or photo's and see what I see as I try to capture what my lens wants me to print and show you<br />
Art from a Photographer can be rewarding and maybe studied a portion of what a master of art brings to the table. Thank you and stay on my journey for future prints from Doug the Photo Bug.<br />

Seeing it happen last about 6 hours after sunset only if the skies let you enjoy the view. June 5, 2012 was the day that millions or billions watched the show from earth if they could see anything. My night was spent setting up my tripod and super lens with my Canon baby by my side. But clear skies were no where to be found. Only storm clouds and darkness.<br />
But as a Freelance Photographer I enjoyed the sky and hit the shutter button for anything I could catch. Seen here, photo's are the rising of the moon and low cloud cover. But New Jersey was left out as a rain date may be a lifetime away when it happens again. Maybe heaven has a cloud I can set up shop next time around. Thanks for viewing this blog and check out the next or new blog that I turned the little white dots into super photo's with the help of my computer and finger tips.<br />

Nothing fancy but changing a few ideas and maybe pushing the limit of darkness or more shadows to give it a deeper image. I look at this as more Art Photography<br />
with not being a true artist. I said this before in other areas that a photographer will never be a true artist. Artist spend hours or days trying to put a masterpiece of one on canvas. He or she may use paint, pencil, clay or<br />
any other form of material to form a treasure. I as a <br />
photographer take maybe one to hundreds ( yes ) of a subject or landscape and than decide what one or two sparks my fire. Sometimes many do and I spread the wealth by changing what you see in different forms. So this is Ultra Macro Photography in many shape and colors. So think beyond the lens and be yourself when<br />
making a presentation or show. Thank you for being part of my journey,<br />

The keyboard is not just for typing anymore with new buttons and colors to change and even do a sketch of that photo you thought was just so-so. I myself take many pictures of one subject or landscape or just a flower, and maybe use one photo I enjoy the most. So when I have a moment I than return to my web and explore new idea's that can change a photo 100% in the direction of a new enlargement for my gallery. The texture and change in the layout of these two photo's can be seen as a new beginning for the print and myself. So never think you are done learning the camera or turning what you see as a subject into a masterpiece. I look at my albums on a average of 4 to 5 times a week to see what or how I can improve to make you all turn you heads for another look at my work. Thank you for taking that second look.<br />

Maybe the challenge of going into the future and thinking beyond the next step in photography. Taking that risk of good or bad can determine how a real photo should look.<br />

The stream with a shade of tone and shadows can bring color to a black and white print. The running water seems to run past you as you dip a tin for a drink of mountain spring water.<br />

The Red Tin Roof is a fine example of taking a photo to another level. A farm house on a side of a hill can be a Photo<br />
hanging in a gallery by just making a few changes on the web before you send it off to be printed. Think ahead when you<br />
hit the shutter button and turn one photo into many exciting art works. Enjoy<br />

But a photographer will never be a artist of canvas. Only<br />
a artist can pull this off with many hours and a eye for painting what only he or she see's. My Spider and<br />
Preymantis were my models when we took a journey to the unknown of <br />
wild color's and differents backgrounds to bring out the artist in me. Enjoy<br />

My Neon Spider was one made into two by dark shadows on a wall. Not<br />
getting close enough made me more <br />
of a micro lens kind of a guy. Canon has some beautiful lenses to push a photo to the limit.<br />

My only regret is in July 2012 Kodak<br />
Gallery will no longer be printing photo's as they have done for 100 years plus. So I must look for a new printer to bring my photo's to life and hope they are as good or better than Kodak has been for me.<br />

My Preymantis was a favorite as I wanted to let it turn the head as I closed in for a shot. The web design was done on the computer and a few tricks I learned down the road. So until I get a new company to print my work I will keep you busy enjoying what my backup photo's you have not seen. And soon to be web site I am planning on getting up and running soon, thank you .<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QEtEL5gHoTQ/T3EwHJyHuBI/AAAAAAAAKhI/5W6x1AYf6Yo/s1600/IMG_1451.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QEtEL5gHoTQ/T3EwHJyHuBI/AAAAAAAAKhI/5W6x1AYf6Yo/s400/IMG_1451.JPG" /></a> The Amaryllis Bulb Joan brought in a garden book she recieved in the mail. It came with a pretty pot and said it would grow in time for the xmas holiday's. So since Joan has her sunroom garden and I my outside garden, she did the planting of a nice size bulb about 5 weeks before xmas. I myself thought maybe one flower would come out of it. But the bulb was bigger than I ever seen. About 2 vweeks before the holiday's a nice size stem was climbing up a stick we put in the pot. This was the beginning of a journey to a monster Amaryllis.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

Than we noticed another bulb forming and also two more on each end like a flower cross looking down from the top on a ladder. Than when we thought that was our four flower clover, a bud started forming at the top of the four way cross. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

We may have not had a tree this year because we were both a little down, but a Amaryllis can build you up as every morning seemed to be a new beginning for us and the plant.</div>

Even changed filters and gave you a look of different flavors so you could understand the true value of a single plant in a little pot.</div>

Since as you guess being a photographer our walls are a gallery of Abby-Rose Fine Art. </div>

But sometimes I take 4 to 6 shots of the same object just to get the perfect one.<br />
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought retirerment would have been so much fun. I know I tend to give my art away or donate it to a good cause for who ever needs money raised for a cause, but someday when I'm sitting on a cloud looking down I hope to see my work or art hanging on someone's wall or maybe a gallery or office building. Thank you for staying with me on a journey I never thought would come to life.</div>

Not really, one I still use black and white film which is hard to find someone to develope anymore. One day my film camera will be left on my desk. But it served me many good years of picture taking. I also bring a Kodak pocket size didgetal for fast pictures without using a tripod.Anyway you get the picture how ever you do it.<br />

The Weeping Willow and the pond with the Cleveland Pear Branch in black and white brings outstanding depth to why I took this in B&W. Black and white photography seems to<br />
show better in art shows or even art<br />
galleries. The days of film are not so<br />
popular anymore as non film camera's<br />
are taking over the industry. But as for<br />
old school like myself I still feel as if I<br />
can use roll film sometimes it make me a better photographer. So enjoy what you do and stay with your dreams what ever they are.<br />

And the Weeping Cherry below without color and using a filter brings the softness of the sky and the none color of the cherry in more white or gray.<br />

Pine Tree's were a favorite of mine since I have lived in New Jersey most or part of my life.Every house I owned had some sort of pine or spruce tree growing. Our last house where our children grew up we had at least 15 spruce and pine tree's along the back fence. And winter came with snow that only a pine or<br />
spruce tree would make you think of<br />
Christmas, God Bless<br />

White Birch Tree's grow strong and seem to live forever as I see so many in the area where I live now. Each one taller than the next. If a tree could talk about the history of a 300+ year town that was farm land and battles where fought with the French and British Wars I could stand by one of these giants and dream about the past that this tree may have witnessed.<br />

Last would be my oak tree, pond and farm in a distance. The geese seem to enjoy thew pond on a winter day as the buds on the oak start their process of blooming for a early spring. I am proud to say that New Jersey is a state trying to preserve every farm they can buy before a developer turns the area into a housing complex or parking lot. This is why a photo today might not be a photo tomorrow. So enjoy nature where ever you are and support preserving farms or land where you live for your grandchildren and mine. God Bless<br />

The Pink flowers and little cherrys are only around to enjoy for maybe two weeks. So a beautiful day sent me out on a journey to capture some of the smell and beauty.</div>

And since many of us have allergies, this is the tree with such beauty that makes my nose go crazy. But a picture or photo is more important to show my<br />
friends that nature is blooming. Enjoy</div>

But as a no-no, My battery went dead on my canon and my first thought was nwhat kind of photographer leaves the house with a dead battery. As it turns out I bring three camera's when I am in the field. Someone was on my side.</div>

This March everything seemed to bloom early because of season changes. So a day like I had was a day that may have to wait till next year if I miss the perfect shot.</div>

This is really the only time you can see the real shape of a tree as I call In the Nude.<br />

The sky is a true blue when the cold moves the clouds in every direction.<br />
The color's are fresh and it is like you<br />
can hear the sounds of nothing, as the<br />
birds are flying south and the only noise<br />
is your shutter on your camera clicking as<br />
you press the release button. I enjoy doing color and black and white and even brown tone to show that Photography is still alive and enjoyed by many. I hope to put together a book of maybe 50 special photo's with a outline of each picture someday. Anyway enjoy and thank you for following Abby - Rose Photography.<br />

Even though I went to Photography School and learned everything from basic to pro.<br />
I always had a fear of doing a real wedding on my own. I guess the thought of falling apart and doing what was the most important time of a couples life. Back than everything was film camera's and you had to use your skills to get the perfect photo and hoped the results were there at the end of the day. Today everything is digital and you can see the photo as you shoot it. So what I am saying in todays world it is alot easier. So when my nephew asked me to do his wedding along with another photographer I said why not.<a href="http://localhost:51811/33c55f970029be7946e0baa433241805/image/8dcd4394aebacd6f.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://localhost:51811/33c55f970029be7946e0baa433241805/image/8dcd4394aebacd6f.jpg?size=320" style="clear: both; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a> <br />
As you can see it turned out well for all of us. I had my first wedding and I made up a wedding album for the bride and groom to enjoy for life. So if you are a beginner or a pro,<br />
remember the chalange you are putting yourself in by saying yes. And take alot of pictures to go over and pick the best to show the newly weds. At my age though I may be doing one more wedding and than I will stay with freelancing photography as I do best. Thank you and enjoy,<br />

I needed a name for our bussiness and I had to check to see if anyone else had the same name and where. Turns out Abby Rose Photography is somewhere in the midwest under the same name but not as a Freelance Photographer. So we took the name and published the name with a law group so it was legal. Our plan is to have a web site under this name and sell The Art of Photography as a<br />
Freelancer. I take many photo's and try to turn them into something we feel the public may enjoy for their walls in their house or office.<br />
So far we may have 200 to 300 pictures or photo's out of thousands we feel could serve this purpose. And once the web site is under way we can break it down into groups such as , Animals, Landscapes, Travel, Portrait and a few other fields. And I would still enjoy doing a family wedding, group portrait, or just enjoy a photo shoot with a person of interest. All our finish products are put together from the lens to the computer for getting the perfect photo and than having Kodak Gallery do the finishing touches on the paper and cropping of my choice. Looking at landscapes and subjects for so many years only lets me pick what I feel is the best photo I feel my be sold to someone.<br />
This is where the ' My Photo's are your Treasures' comes from. This month I will be doing a Holiday Bazaar in Burlington Township at the<br />
Township Middle School which will be on November 19th from 9am to 3pm. So anyone that read this may want to stop by and see for yourself what I see in Abby Rose Photography. Again, thank you for you time and continue to enjoy my Blog.<br />
