DuckArt?

2008.04.14
This is the same little duck from 3 and 4 yesterday. She was popular with the boys. ;)

I liked the background on this one.

This duck was bit of a ham and quite the poser!

Same duck, different angle. Something caught his eye and he stretched his neck up to get a better view. Handy trick!

I liked the shadow his head made in this one from the early morning light.

More blue glass.

Same duck, different angle.

These are some of my favorites from the duck pond. I'm always amazed at how the water changes as I move around the pond and change the angle of the shot. From the blue, blue, blue of the reflected sky to the painted watercolor greens of the reflected trees. Nature is cool, eh?

So...I think I'm finally done with my website. Or at least how it will look. I have to finish uploading photos. And I will be moving the Guestbook and Netsurfing items into the Photographer menu so I can add a recently added photos page and then MAYBE...someday...a prints for sale page. :)

This is it if you want to take a look: www.lmg-images.com

You may have seen me playing with my copyright and I think I finally got it: L-iMaGes which is a play on my initials and the word images using some fonts that I got from dafont.com

Anyway, I saw Lindy's post on dreams the other day and one of my dreams is to make something of my photography. I don't know if I've got what it takes but I have to try. I have been lucky that word of mouth has given me about 6-10 paid assignments a year. I am going to work on marketing myself a little more.

Which brings me to the next project - business cards. At an event I did last month, someone asked me for one because she was getting married and I had to tell her I didn't have any! Now that I have a website and a "look", I can start working on the business cards so that won't happen again.

Jannie Lisa, this is awesome! You SO have what it takes!! Good for you to go for it. I'll have to check out your site. Love the play on initials with your copyright. Very cool.

WOW!!! This is a stunning set!! Every shot is pristine. I think the first & last shots are my faves!! Great work. It's obvious that you love your ducks!

turndaround Best of luck, truly. This is an utterly fantastic post by the way. Brilliant.

etodd80 Amazing shots, #1 is especially great! The colors in the water on a lot of the shots are perfect.

Great site! I see you went with Smugmug, I am thinking about using them too. Good luck with the business, you definitely have the talent!
etodd80 · 2008-04-14: 23:26
aknor Yahoo...good luck to you! These photo's are just ducky! Sorry, I couldn't help myself...besides that they are just plain wonderful - the colors of the water amaze me, too!!

rolpa Superb collection. Love these. You sure have what it takes! I checked out your site. Very impressive. Love the way that horizontal shots can be viewed at a decent size, unlike this blog. I guess Spike will get his own dedicated web site.

MHJphotos Congrats Lisa! Finally putting yourself out there to market your talent. I admit that it is a desire of mine as well, but marketing, especially myself, is very difficult for me! Good luck my friend... you definitely have the talent!

These are fantastic images! I find #6 absolutely magical with the glass like reflection of that amazing blue sky.

Peche I'm so excited for you to be putting your work out there! :)
Congratulations Lisa, it's a big step but definitely one in the right direction because you're doing it for you, and clearly for the right reasons.
These shots are a clear example of your passion and love for photography and exactly why I'm sure you will succeed: they're all stunning, my favourites being the first and the sixth. The clarity and reflection in the sixth is stunning.
I'm off to check out your website!
:)

kangshung Wow Lisa - just checked out your web page and I must say it is sensational! I love the way it is structured and your photos are beautifully presented. There is no question as to whether you will succeed in this - I've said this before: you are the best photographer on Photoblog without a doubt! Well done!

As for these photos - they are exquisite, #1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 especially, but #5 is a screamer. The quality of these shots is truely exceptional.

Madoc Of course I will take the time to take a long look at your blog!
Your work impresses me always. You are so talented and I am sur that as soon as you will get seriously into it, things will happen and you'll be a successful professional photographer.
I am thinking for a while of creating a website for my photos, but there is so much things for me to learn on building one of these.
How did you come up with yours? Did you already have the notions before starting it?
These shots you present here today are wonderful and the title you gave to that set is absolutely perfect.
#1 is a fabulous catch! Wow!
So many colors and sharp details all around!
My favs are: #1, 3 & 6.
