Alpha Mom

Alpha Mom - No, I don't mean the "Head Honcho", the"Boss", the "Man-or Wo-man". What I mean is, I am joining the ranks of the proud mom's who own a Digital SLR. I just purchased a Sony Alpha A200k DSLR!!!! So, I am a proud mamma of an Alpha - get it? Alpha Mom... Ok, I thought it was funny. Well, I have become a photo-hobbiest, a photo enthusiast, an amatuer photographer wanna-be! I love taking pics of my kids, and have really enjoyed taking pictures the last couple of years. In fact, I find myself driving down the road wishing that I had a great camera with a telephoto lens so that I can get that great shot of the red tailed hawk on the power lines, or the group of cows with the new home construction in the back ground. So, I bought a book, Creative Exposure, (I would recommend it to anyone), subscribed to some great photography forums and websights, like shootthebaby.com, pioneerwoman.com... So, I will be making a good effort to post new pics each week with a small blog. This picture was actually taken with my friends Rebel XTI - it's what really got me started with wanting one like it. I would have never been able to take a pic like this with my point and shoot....So, be watching and reading.
