Day 22


wild flower

There are some wild flowers growing outside the mall I work at, and for the longest time I just saw them as weeds. Today, for some reason, I liked the way they looked and tried to get a close-up of one of them... but, apparently, my phone can't do extreme close-ups and the result was this. The flower I was trying to get a picture of is blurry, and the flowers behind it aren't. So much for the "infinite focus" setting, but at least it still looks kind of cool.

Day 21


pond

This was taken at a pond close to my girlfriends apartment. I love it out there, despite being in the middle of suburbia it feels peaceful. It was getting too dark to shoot in regular mode, but was just light enough for photos to turn out in night mode... albeit looking very blue.

It's still Tuesday somewhere, so I still have time to make this update right? Tuesday nights mean a trip to Fox for me and my friends, and it's always fun to see how the lighting there will effect photos. That, and people are always on the move. Take Fogle here, who moved while I snapped another panoramic shot, creating a slightly see-through look to his head. I thought it looked cool, so here it is in the blog.

Day 19


vending machine

I see this vending machine everyday at work and had been wondering how it would look as a nightshot. The answer: not too bad. The glow of the text is particularly eye catching. Overall, the photo may not be anything to write home about; but it was still great practice for lighting and blog-worthy.

Day 18

This is a pic of my two youngest nephews doing what they do best... goofing around. I love taking pictures of them as they always display the purist of their personalities. A good portrait shows you a person, but a great portrait shows you THE person. Anyone can sit and smile, and that's why I prefer people who let their personality show up in photographs.

Day 17: Missed

Sorry, guys, I missed day 17 due to my phone dying on me by the time I got to where I was planning on taking pictures... Taste Addison. So, instead you'll just have to try and imagine a Foreigner concert shot here.

Day 16


green night

I love how this one turned out, the green tint and contrast of light and shadow gives it kind of an eerie/forboding feel. As if any second something's going to pop out at you. Keep watching it incase something does...
