Landyn's Walkabout...

Just look at that smile :)

Nothing in the world like it!

Today Landyn and I went outside to enjoy the wonderful weather that we're having. Lots of sun! Unfortunately bright sunlight makes for some difficult photos... have to work some flash and post editing magic! :)

Pixelpipe

These pictures were uploaded using a service called Pixelpipe. The idea behind it is that you setup all your different websites through them and then upload once to them and they redistribute your info (pics, vids, blogs, etc.) to the appropriate sites. Very nifty, you have to tweak it a little otherwise you'll spam certain services like Twitter or Blogger (like I did below) other than that though, it's a great service!

What's happening outside Landyn?

This is a shot of Landyn standing at the front door looking outside. That's the moon to the right of his head :) I did a little bit of editing to make the sky and moon "pop" some. I also lightened up the bottom of the pic so that you could make out more of Landyn standing at the door. Lightroom 2 has a very neat feature that gives you the effect of a graduated filter. Basically you can make the picture progressively darker or lighter as you go from top to bottom or vice a versa. You could also make the effect go from side to side... lots of ways to customize it.

Where am I?!

Tonight, I was filling out some info for my wonderful lithotripsy procedure that I'm having tomorrow. I hear a "MEOW" and a bump... Landyn was playing on the couch with Puffball and I look over and don't see either one of them! I asked Tammy if she could see Landyn from her perch in the bathtub, she tells me no... So I think now where in the world did he go so fast... then I hear some rustling behind our couch! I peek over the only part of our corner sectional that you can get behind and see the picture above! I thought I was gonna roll! I guess Landyn really, really wanted to get his kitty kitty! :) The boy is a mess, not to mention part monkey! He's climbing all over everything now.

Look what I found!

Earlier this morning I was wanting to record a few video clips of Landyn playing on the table and with Puffball (our cat). So I grabbed our pocket camera (Fuji Finepix F20), and set it to record some video. Much to my surprise when I was review the clips that I had shot, I found this picture that was taken by my Mom on Christmas Eve. Oops! Sorry about that Mom :) I'd forgotten that you had taken this, I definitely remember after seeing it and also remembered you telling me that you had snapped it! :)
Anywho... I've got a few short clips to edit as well and post them up today too!

Enjoy!

Uh oh... I've been caught!

This is Landyn's new spot... he takes all of the picture frames off and sets them in the floor nice and neat. Then he proceeds to climb up on the table and play with the blinds... the boy is too funny. All those toys in his room and all he wants to do is flip the blinds back and forth :) He's a mess!

Landyn and the cat toy...

I'm really digging my new lens! Hands down it was a great purchase.

Learning how to operate the thing always leads me to take tons of pictures :) That's always a good side effect! The link below leads to pictures that I took on Saturday. These are of Landyn playing with the cat and the cat's toy :) The boy is a mess for sure (my usual response for Landyn!)

New Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens!

Today I received my new Sigma lens that I won on eBay! Got a pretty good deal on it, slightly used but about $150 off the retail price!

Of course the first thing I've gotta do is make sure it's in 100% working condition and shoot off a bunch of pictures :)
