Moments With Mama Nature

Last month when we did our taxes, we got a lot more back than we thought we would and decided to buy mama a pretty new camera! My old dslr (a Nikon d70s) lasted me many years and through 3 states and back but it was on it’s last leg. After lots of research, I decided to get the Nikon d600, it’s a full frame (but great price) and it’s so lovely. I’m going to try not to nerd out here but I’ll tell ya, it was love at first sight and I was dolling over it the moment I picked it and I love it.

So when Elisabeth at The Mama Earth Project announced a photo a day project for March, I jumped on board so I could practice with my new camera. I know it’s been a while since I’ve shared a post like this, and I’ll talk about why that is and why I’m sharing now soon but for now, here are the first week of photos for The Moments with Mama Nature.

“Hands”

“Bare”

“Green”

“Skyline: Outside the bedroom window I grew up in. This was my view for the first 18 years of my life ans now I’m back again and my first son shares this house, my old room and this view as his for the first 10 months of his life (so far)”

“Sprout”

“Water”

“Birdseye View”I’ve been sharing these images on instagram and I won’t go over step by step what I’m doing but it’s complicated. Photos are taken with my d600 (RAW format) and then edited with photoshop and then shared on instagram via instasize.
