It is absolutely freezing outside.  No going outside today. Hopefully it will warm up enough tomorrow for that adventure that I have been craving.

a photo a day keeps the tears away

I took this back in July.  It just feels kind of cold to me though. I thought it was suitable due to how cold it has become here all of a sudden.

I have decided to try and pick up my camera and take a photograph everyday.  Hopefully I can post a photograph on here everyday too.  However, I don’t think it will be from each individual day.  I won’t be able to post any new photographs until I get my new Mac cord.

The photo storage site that I use, Fotki, is having all kinds of specials. They are absolutely amazing, and there is not a site with cheaper prices for such great prints. Click here if you want to sign up now. They actually have a trial membership if your not ready to pay.

You all should check out artician.com and add me on there.  Just click here to see my portfolio. It is a pretty cool site.  I have been working on putting together a more professional online portfolio.

Also, I have been learning a lot about my camera.  I have been reading The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby. It is well worth the ten bucks I bought it for on Amazon.  It is a great book to learn the tricks that professionals use to get great shots.

I really want to start getting into some photojournalism practice.  I need to get my license and a car just so I can drive around to different places and take pictures.  Ugh, I hate driving.

80

Posted in cold, color, home, my life, nature, photography by lojodani on May.15.2009

I spent yesterday uploading 80 pictures that I have taken since I have been home from college.  I took 80 pictures within a 4-day time period. I forgot how much I love just shooting photographs.  I was messing around with my Zeikos filters.  I realized that the polarizer isn’t good to use for portraits.  It makes the person look a bit zombie-like.  It does make great nature shots though.  The above photo was taken with a polarizer.  The cheap quality of the filters gives good reason as to why they can’t be used in every situation.  However they are really fun considering the 3 of them together only cost me $10.

This one is from my backyard.

My cousin’s son is coming to spend the night tonight.  I need to prepare for chaos.
