Get it?
Scoping out the camera? Stethoscope!
Obviously, I’m at work … and I tell corny jokes!
Hey – you practice and play where you can, even if it’s just for a few minutes while eating lunch 🙂
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things
Whether it's one simple yet somehow perfect day or a dreamed about journey finally realized, I never want to forget the joy of the moment or how fortunate I am!
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things 
Yep 🙂 Practise is the only way to get better. And to me that looks like you are definitely getting the hang of that new-fangled camera thingy! Happy dance for LB 🙂
I wonder if I can take a week off just to learn the new fangled thing? No chance of that but it sure would be fun!!
I get it AND I like it Laurie 😀 – I see you are getting used to the new toy.
I can not wait to spend more time with it … once the computer is set up, I’ll be able to “focus” a bit more (the corny jokes sure are awful, eh?)
Yup … got it. Aren’t new toys the greatest?!
YES!!
Hey Laurie! Here is a link to an author who writes field guides to many many cameras. They are easy to follow/learn from since he writes in a way that is way way less cryptic than the user guides that come with cameras these days. I recommend his guides very highly.

David, thanks so much!! I will definitely check this out!
Uh, I think I missed something… BRB!
You got your new camera! How wonderful! I have the newer tech, but must admit that I miss the old Kodak moments of point and shoot. Well, there was my short lived affair with the Nikon K-1000 (manual) and B&W photography at CSUSB… but, my best pictures were taken with my Instamatic. Sad, but true.
You on the other hand are dedicated to this quest, and I know you will be proficient in no time, LB! I’m so excited for you! 😀
Thanks Lynda, I’m so excited! I do, though, agree with you! I had a pro photographer tell me the other day that she gets frustrated when her I-phone takes better photos than her expensive camera!
I can not wait to explore!
And I/we can’t wait to see what you discover! 😀
Ha ha ha. I get it. Very punny. I like these shots. Very nice.
Thanks! Too bad I got the new camera at a time when I also upgraded the computer (much needed), and every evening after work is booked … I have little time to play right now but I WILL find time soon 🙂
I hate when that happens. Hope you get to play soon.
Glad you’re eating lunch and learning that new camera!
Every moment counts, right? 🙂
another great pic, as usual, xo LMA
You are good to say so, LMA!! 🙂 Thanks!
I think that first shot is actually really good. The crisp desk reflects both a calendar and degrees/certificates, giving it a professional and educated look. I think it’s a great still-life.
Mike … you just made my day! I kinda liked that reflection of calendar and degrees, too. Happy, happy 🙂
I suspect that could easily be published in a medical magazine. It is very good indeed.
I love playing with close-ups. When the kids were young I would play a game with them using my camera. We’d take turns taking super close-ups around the house and then try and guess what they were. It could get pretty challenging and led us to photograph from unique angles to try and stump each other, good times… 🙂
Lisa, that is a great memory!
Nice stethoscope! 😀 Looks like you’re coming along just fine with that camera. You’re going to love what you can do with it.
Your dedication work AND play, make you a well balanced individual. Your passion for photography brings so much joy to you and us, we’re glad you take the time for both. Don’t you think by choosing B&W for the last photo, your stethoscope looks more hi-tech? Interesting.
Great shots! I love the black and white of the stethoscope: to me the blurriness of the background gives it a reflective, meditative (no pun intended) quality, while the sharpness and precision of the foreground demonstrates the practicality of the tool. The reflection too gives it an ethereal feel that contrasts really well with the actual use of the stethoscope: to diagnose and define. It’s a really great mix of the artistic and scientific qualities of medicine. Brava!
Well, the first thing you do right is take your camera to work. You are no amateur!
