Charlie at the park around 9:30 - 10:30 today (June 29th, 2011)

whole bunch of cute pictures of my nephew Charlie! He's such a good little subject to take pictures of <3

Then and now.

Alright so this first image is before I started the photography class. I think I already had a good grasp on how things worked. However, I learned a lot about enhancing photos via Lightroom and what all the functions of my camera actually do.

This next picture was taken a couple weeks a go. Still not done with the class . Nearly there though. I can't really wait to start Photo II. The one thing I do regret is taking this class in summer. A whole semesters worth of information crammed into half a semester was pretty killer. But I pushed through.  =D

More lighting projects...

But then again, I guess every photo is an example of light. Anyway, this one is me trying to create a dappled lighting effect. Light coming through my blinds onto this old horse statue thing.

Today's project

Okay so these 2 are the ones from today, the first one is a street shot directly into the sun for a back light, silo shot. Used f22 so I could grab some lens flare in the picture. The second is an old Pepsi bottle that is photo shop'd to make the background a lot darker, as well as to tone down the highlights to give a bit more depth to the bottle. I shot it with a lamp pretty much inches from the top of the bottle.

Ok so its been a little while. Things have been crazy though.

So anyway, class has been awesome.. I'm learning a lot, I just took this picture.. Had a really cool little storm roll threw. Nothing beats a sunny rainstorm in my opinion. There was also a double rainbow (OMG) that I will post in a little bit as well as a few of my last projects to kinda catch up. 

P.S. I could have died taking this picture. Lots of thunder and lightning... But it was worth it!
