And the winner is...

The Nikon d3100! It felt the best in my hands, is easy to operate, has some controls on the left hand side (great for a lefty like myself) and was the right price. I got the camera at our local Wolf/Ritz Camera Store, it was the same price as Amazon and I get 9 free classes! I am super excited to start learning how to take better photos. I have been having fun playing with a few of the different settings on the camera on my own. Dylan has been pretty good about letting me take his pictures and the cats have been pretty good subjects too.
Here are a few of the pictures I have taken so far.






I think the flower photos turned out the best. These are straight out of the camera and a million times better than our point and shoot. (Yes, I know they should be).  I am excited for us to have some nice weather so I can get outside and take more pictures with some better light.

Two-fer Tuesday

Pepper
Kobe

Peek-a-boo


This has been the cat edition of Two-fer Tuesday, I had to put all three of their photos up so none of them would get offended. You know how cats are...

Ham Towne


Well it's here, the blog you've all been wating for, Ham Towne. Dave thought that Ham Towne would be the perfect name for my blog and since I couldn't think of anything else more exciting Ham Towne it will be.
It's pretty tough writing the first post for your blog, especially if it's something you want people to read and come back to, which I do. So maybe I'll just start with posting a photo of Dylan (of which this site will have a lot of because he could be the cutest kid on the face of the Earth and since I am his mom I am not bias at all...) and a story from this weekend.
We had beautiful weather this weekend in Knoxville, sunny, blue skies and no rain. Dylan loves to play outside and Sunday afternoon we were outside playing, he was having a great time going down his slide when out of the corner of my eye I see Kobe walking down by the fence line. Then I see something in her mouth. I ran inside as quickly as I could so I could close the sliding glass door because I didn't want her to bring whatever she had in her mouth into the house. She come strolling up on the deck with nothing in her mouth so I figured she ate or dropped whatever she had cought. I decided to go down to the fence line to see if I could see any remenants of what she had in her mouth, and thats when I saw a silver, severed tail and a severed midsection of a...snake!! If you know me you know I am deathly afraid of snakes, even parts of snakes, the tail was still twitching...gross!

So that's what you are going to get on Ham Towne, stories about cats, Dylan, Dave & I and food. Hopefully my food photography will get better and I'll be able to post some photos.
