Leigh’s Photos

Well, I took the plunge this week and purchased a MacBook Pro for myself.  This is partly my Christmas present from my wife and friend.

One of the reasons I moved to a MAC is that my wife has started to use my desktop at home more to do her stuff (Autocad, Scrap Booking & photos).  Another reason is that Windows will work on the new MacBooks with Boot Camp, Parallels or Fusion.

Here laptop is about fours years old now and she was having a tuff time getting her stuff done.  So, I kept bugging her to get a new computer and she decided to take mine and let me buy a new one.  This is my second personal laptop I have owned.

I am hoping that this new relationship will work well for me and that I will be able to excel as I have in the Microsoft world.

A few weeks ago, I took pictures at my 1st and last wedding shoot. Since this wedding was my wife’s best friend I was volunteered (better known as you have no choice). My wife was one of the Bride’s Maids and my oldest daughter was the flower girl. Taking pictures at a wedding is not easy at all. Luckily I had my VCCC meeting earlier in the week were I was able to ask questions. Also, one of the VCCC members (Norman) helped with the shoot.

Most of the shots came out quite nice and my wife will be working on them to make them better. Yes, my wife is quite better at Photoshop than I am.

As this is my 1st & last wedding, I give praise to those who do it all the time.

Trevor Carpenter has annouced the 2008 Challenge. The 2008 Challenge is a year long challenge is that each participant will need to spend the whole year of 2008 documenting their community. All you need to do is commit to shoot just one great image a week. Just one a week. That’s not bad! For more information, I invite you to see Trevor’s 2008 Challenge blog.

Welcome to Leigh’s Photos. I love to take pictures. I am planning to use this site to show off my photos I have taken over time. From time to time, I take a little trip to just take pictures. I will use my blog to explain my trip.

The camera of choice is the Canon Rebel XTi with two lenses I carry all the time: Canon EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Standard Zoom Camera Lens and Tokina AT-X 12-24mm AF PRO 4.0 Ultra-Wide Zoom Digital Camera Lens.
