I had actually thought that I had lost these pictures. Lost and found, I have discovered them once again. Anyways, these were obviously taken in our nations fine capital of Washington, D.C. My gift to you today is a little thing called patriotism.

My Mistake

I've realized that when you click on a picture it will appear in a very large form; this is all due to my neglegence. My camera deals with very large file sizes and I tend to be very lazy when posting them on the internet and therefore do not make them smaller. So, starting with the picture below you can now click on the picture and you will not see a giant eyeball or something of the sort. My apologies.

Hot off the presses...or memory card.

I'm tired of being cooped up inside. So, with little else to do other than homework, I decided to take a photo adventure out of doors this afternoon. This is the only picture I really like out of them all. It's a little weird, but yet creative. It hits me in some way, though I'm not exactly sure how to explain it. Without the depth of field being the way it is, the picture would have been nothing. I thought about doing some photoshop editing, but after playing around with it for a while, I decided against it. Sometimes a photo is better left untouched. Enjoy my friends. So are you wondering what the picture actually is? Well, I'm not willing to say just yet. It might be fun to make a guessing game out of it. Though, I suppose if you ask me nicely, I may feel obliged to give an answer.

Sports Photography

Sports photography has proven to be a challenge for me. When you have fast moving objects or people it's very easy to produce a blurred shot. I have really gained a better understanding of shutter speed and aperature through my exploration in sports photography. Shooting a basketball game in a poorly lit gym is a difficult thing, but through a bit of experimentatation and practice, I have been able to conquer it for the most part. Below are some of my latest.

Ahhh well....

This is probably one of the first ever half-way decent photos I ever took. This was origianlly on film (Like the old-timers..ha ha ha) and I had it scanned. Theres not much to it. I just happened to notice how the composure of the shot worked out. My friend here was just messing around and stuck her upper body through that tree and I loved it. Then I made her pose with a smile. She would kill me if she knew this picture was up here, but I like it. It's a very nice picture of her.

Night Shots

Sorry for the non-existant photos lately. Things have been a bit hectic. But here are a few photos I shot in downtown Canton earlier this fall. Night photography is a whole new ball game. This is when a tri-pod becomes a photographers best friend.
