Celebrating Graduation!

This past weekend I took a bunch of pictures for a friend who is graduating!  We had a blast even though it started out with a down pour and thunder and lightening!  I really fell in love with the big lens 300mm (whatever that means...lots to learn, I know)!  It is the best!

Picasa is a great, free editing software.  I'm amazed at how user friendly it is.  Here's are my two favorite pics without giving too much away!

For this one, I played with the colors and brightened it a little after the fact.  I love the feel of celebration with the balloons in school colors and the "bridge" to the next step in life!

This one was just plain silly and fun!  Can't wait to find some more time to play with my camera!
