The Perfect Packable Jacket!

January 1, 2023 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Testing Out The 5.11 Tactical Thermees Insulator Jacket I mentioned with my review of Sitka Gear that I'm so picky when it comes to my clothes. Finding the perfect jacket sometimes takes me forever! Recently I had the opportunity to test out the 5.11 Tactical Thermees Insulator Jacket and this jacket pleasantly surprised me! Light and Warm When I first received the jacket I was surprised at the thickness of the jacket. It was thinner than I thought it would be but still kept me warm! The quilt design looks great on the jacket, and really allows for the jacket to be warm, but you don't overheat.

Sitka Gear For The Nature Photographer

December 12, 2022 by OurWrensNest 1 Comment

Putting Sitka Gear To The Test in Nature! I love to be outside whether I'm taking pictures in nature, hiking, or even hunting with the husband. Time to connect with nature is the absolute best! I try to get out as much as possible. Living in Northeast Ohio, I've have to be very mindful of our cold winters, and having the proper gear is of utmost importance. It has been a journey of mine trying to find that perfect mix of keeping me warm enough, but not too hot and having a great fit. New Gear! Recently I had the amazing opportunity to test out some women's winter gear from Sitka Gear. While I was waiting for my gear to arrive, I was a little apprehensive about trying this gear. ...

Give Your Film Photography a Homemade Touch! It's no secret I love photography. There is something so special and unique about capturing a moment in time. Photography is such a huge part of life, and I totally stumbled upon it by accident. As a part of my photography adventure, I have spent a lot of time learning more about film photography and developing my own film at home. There are many great services still available to develop your film for you, but as a DIY-er, I just had to learn to develop my own film at home. Developing film at home isn't hard at all. With some simple supplies and a good place to work, you can develop many rolls of film on your own. The biggest downside of ...

DIY Photography Backdrops

July 25, 2021 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Propel your picture taking ability to the next level with some simple to make photography backdrops! It’s no secret I love photography! Everyone who takes pictures whether you do it for fun or for profit has their favorite subjects. Personally, I have a few different “niches” I really enjoy, but one favorite is food photography. I found quickly that with food photography you need a great backdrop to really make your photos special. There are many different types of tabletop “backdrops” you can purchase out there but they can be a bit pricey. If you are like me though you want some different options for your photography without spending a ton of money. As the daughter of a floor ...
