Oh, hey almost forgot, I'm suppose to have my first official shoot this week.

When or where I've no idea. She says she'll call me at some point this week.
I'm not going to get paid, but I figure I'll gain experience, contacts, and maybe some decent shots.

These are from my Mt. St. Helens trip last May 08. I found them sitting on my hard drive and edited them last night :)

I went to a park with my friend last week and took some photos. We were hoping to catch a sunset but we kinda missed it, haha. We struggled with some bad lighting but I at least got some good shots, i dont know if she did or not though. x3

Me unedited

Alright-y then I was tagged by PG a while ago to do an unedited self-portrait. The rules were:

As soon as you learn you have been tagged to play, you take a photo right away, no cleaning up, no primping, no preening. Just grab the camera and shoot. No cleaning up the photo in post either.

Now in my defense I didn't do it right away because I had just had surgery that day, and was totally knocked up on oxycodone.

Then I just forgot. :)

So here it is at long last, an unedited photo! This is me Monday about half way through my 3 hour hike. Scary I know!

So now I'm suppose to tag some people, and I decided to tag all you guys. :)

I also thought, to make this a little bit more interesting, that you should also include a few of favorite photographer under the following:

At least 1 favorite photographer in the field of photography in which you plan to pursue.

For me that's product/studio and real estate photography. And my favorite photographer in the product/studio is Jim Talkington you can see him here and here. And for real estate it's got to be Scott Hargis his website and his flickr.

At least 1 favorite photographer who mainly used film.

My favorite film photographers are, Walker Evans, Larry Towell, Julius Shulman and of course Ansel Adams.

(*edit I swapped the pictures out. For reasons I shall keep to myself)

I should be studying for my last final instead of doing this.

I've been driving on the interstate a lot lately for some reason.  I suppose this is my way of entertaining myself in between spurts of dancing to Richard Simmons music.

Spring Growth

We went for a walk last week in photography class...

Hey guess what...

The Columbia River Gorge that's what!!!



These were taken from the Washington side. The first photo I was nearly hanging of the edge of a 1100ft cliff to get it! It was crazy! For reals too, just look at the little tiny house in the bottom right corner.

It was fun times!

#1 ISO 100, 1/125th at f/11

#2 Bridge won't tell me the file info at the moment, it's after 11:00pm and I'm really tired. So no info on that one right now. Sorry :/

Chary Blossoms!!!

I love when these trees by my house explode with chary blossoms! Their only around for about two weeks, so I've got to get the photos while I can. You can see the ones I took last year on my other blog

All right-y then, I sort o' feel like talking.

Lately I've been reading this. So that's why you got the above and this. Before reading the landscape book, I'd never though to shoot landscapes with a super wide aperture. I've also been working on shooting more. When we go out and I do some shooting I'd usually get in around 50 shots. Now I'm pushing 150 -200 per shoot. So yeah I'm happy with that. But what I'm not happy about is the amount of space on my left on my hard drive.

So with that in mind, here's David duChemin's backup solution. I really like his setup, but I've got no where near the amount of cash to set that up. So for now I'll stick with burning my cd's.

Oh, Canon released a new Rebel series camera this week. The new "EOS REBEL T1i." It's Canon's version of Nikon's D90.(You know with video and all.) Which means since I got my XT 1 year and 3months ago, three I repeat 3 rebels series have been released. Plus this puts the Xti and XS on the outs. People are only going to buy the XSi with the live view and now the T1i. Amazon's already got it for pre-order. There's a bunch of other stuff I want to talk about with the T1i but I save it for my blog. :)

Other things of interest:

Tamron's releasing a new wide angle lens. It's gona' be sweet.

McDonald’s sponsoring a new group on Flickr. But you better read that fine print.

Will Tasha Ford finally get her video camera back? Um..yeah, there's three different links. So you can read the whole story.

What, Yahoo's CEO doesn't even use his most popular site?

Zach Arias' a critiquing. Warning you may feel really crudy towards your own photography. I know I did.

If your not reading Dave your missing out on some awesome photo's of NYC.

And if your not following Chase Jarvis on twitter or facebook. Do it.

And this...this is just unexplainable.

Pshaw

Dive Bomb

So, epic fail on my part.  I was in Utah last week for spring break, and it hit me on Saturday that my day had come and gone.  I figured I would do it on Sunday when I got back, and then I got stuck in Atlanta airport for 6 hours and forgot about it again until Tuesday, at which point I figured I had pretty much missed the bus.  Excuses aside, here are several photos from the aforementioned trip last week.

Photo #1 was a panorama I put together from 4 different shots of the view from the top of a mountain I climbed.

All 4 had the same exposure
