Shooting the moon!

I am just giddy. I knew my new lens had some nice features, but I never guessed I could get detail in the moon. It is not a full moon, but the first clear night with a bright moon in eons around here. I cannot wait for a full moon on a clear night. I will definitely try this again.

New Canon 55-250mm lens!

these are the first few images I have taken with my new Canon 55-250mm lens. I have a learning curve to deal with as I have been using my 50 mm prime lens almost exclusively. I am really liking what I am seeing with this new lens. I have to get used to the zooming and the slower lens, but I like the sharpness. These images were cropped and tweaked in Camera RAW and then converted to jpeg. No major post processing. I can't wait to keep learning how to use this lens. Worth the money IMO.

My favorite very recent photos of my daughter. I am just starting to learn how to edit. I would LOVE for someone to take these and run an edit with a canvas or soft type of effect so that I can see what can be done with them. If yo are willing to try it, please let me know. I welcome the help with these. It will encourage me to learn my PSE and one day DIY.
