1 - 2 - 3 .... Smile! [Photo Blogs I Love Part 1]

I love taking photos with my handy dandy point-and-shoot (my family and friends are witnesses to this nice habit of mine). 
In line with this, just as a princess dreams of her prince,
I dream of having my own SLR someday.

I spent the past 2 days discovering new blog finds on photography.

Here are a few of the many that have inspired me
(in no particular order).

Rebecca Cooper of the blog "Simple as That".  She is a crafter, photographer, into scrapbooking and author of the e-book "40 Top Tips for Better Photos" (yeah, she is definitely the kind of lady that I envy).  You may want to check her tutorials which I'm sure you're gonna love.

Check out the blog of Andrea M Brandt Photography. Andrea is a baby and child photographer and is also a fashion photographer. Her blog offers so much information on photo styling, wardrobe and other resources for photographers. Today, she discussed something that addressed my camera issues: "Tips for Point and Shoot Photography."

Lolli of Better in Bulk is another blog that you shouldn't miss.  She has awesome tutorials and great photos as well.  You may want to join her linky parties and giveaways.

A Photographic Walk in the Park [Lake Elizabeth]

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

I love going to the park with my camera, strolling and gazing through nature.

It was my first time to go to Lake Elizabeth in Fremont Ca and it was a beautiful experience.

These flowers just took my breath away.

I used my Sony cybershot DSC-W350 that my husband gave me for Christmas.  It had a panoramic feature and this was the perfect time to try it out.

I love watching the sunset and how the colors change every minute.  From orange hues to blue... it's amazing!  I love how the water reflects everything.
