Ok

From this point on most pictures should be taken from my rebel xs.

Old Newspaper Assignment

Too lazy to explain any further, but basically we had to take 5 pictures that fit the description on the assignment. I was pretty disappointed with mine in the end, wish I had more time.

Painting with light

The Tribal Tribune editor got invited the photographers to come to waterfront bringing their cameras, tripods, and alternative sources of light. Basically, glow sticks + low shutter speed = good times. Its cool getting to use the shutter speed to such an extreme and the results turned out pretty cool.

Christmas

Christmas was pretty awesome this year. I got a few games and movies, a whistle, a few other small things and most importantly, a camera!

Its a new rebel xs, and I still cant believe I have it. Today has been pretty crazy so havent really got to play with it much. The next two posts will be with Jacks old camera but after that goodbye Olympus, you wont be missed.

For some reason Wally gave Walker a bb gun, and I did get a shot of that.

Wando vs Stratford and SCBDA Band

In early November I went to the Wando home game and Irmo the next day to take these. Great experience and in the end took a lot of good ones at Irmo.

Langfords Basic Photography

I checked out this book from the library the other day and it looks like it could teach me a lot about photography. It also has some assignments at the end of each section, and im going to post them on here as well, since this is basically a blog for myself with no one reading it.

Starting to learn the Exposure Triangle

Outside of Seacoast after a failed attempt to take a picture for an assignment due to a lack of a tripod or decent lighting, I noticed this plant by my car. It was a pretty ugly plant, and in hindsight I should have took a picture of the whole thing. That being said there were these pink flowers on the dying plant. Turning down the ISO and the aperture I got a pretty decent picture.

I think its interesting to note that from the right angle something that appears ugly can turn out to be beautiful.

August and September

Heres a few of my first pictures with my dslr im borrowing from Lizzy. Made things a little darker in some of them just for the heck of it.
