Is this blog dead or something? Or is it just me?

Halloween school dance.

This dance was on Friday, over the weekend I printed 90 4x6s of my favorite photos and will sell them for $1 each to the kids at my school. It work last year with the Winter Formal, so I figure I'd try to make a little extra cash ;)

This is an HDR I did of the football stadium the other night.

18mm | f4.5 | ISO 400

I bracketed 5 exposures at 1 stop intervals, then I combined it into an HDR in photoshop.

Adjusted the color levels and saturations in Aperture.

Can you feel the love tonight?

I was recently in downtown Tallahassee in the eve shooting something for the paper, and couldn't help but notice how beautiful the sky was in the 10 minutes between sunset and moonrise.  It brought tears to my eyes.  Figuratively speaking, of course.

Cops and Robbers!

These two photos are not related in any way, other than they just both happened to be shot on the same outing.  The former, a photo of a bank of america which was robbed just before (unfortunately, the robbers left before I could take pictures of them) and the latter a picture of the bar that won best bar in tallahassee.  Or something like that.

Mighty Kong has woken from his slumber!

Taken in the middle of December on a pitch black road in a forest in Palm Coast.  That's an exaggeration, but not by much.  Photograph was aided by my father, acting as my assistant.

I will follow you into the dark

Hullo, I'm Brian.

I'm 18, and I live in the Chattanooga area.
I discovered my passion for photography about a year ago, and have been pursuing it ever since. So far I like to shoot objects and wide angles.
(No people for me - too much to clean up afterwards.)
I really would like to get into studio photography and am currently saving for some lights.

Other than photography I like to pursue other things like:

Leather tooling.
GIMPing. (too poor for PS -- you know the whole starving artist thing and all)
Researching.
Chess.
Bonsai'.
Reading. (mostly classics)
Annoying one of my four (soon to be five) siblings.
Water coloring. (new thing don't ask)
Drawing.
Sleeping.
Eating.
Breathing.
Living.


Well, I think that's it. We've had a great first week; can't wait for the next week.

Ps. For all participating in project pentad, I'm really sorry I've not answered any emails or fixed up the site at all. By now I'm assuming you all know about my current predicament. Well, I should be better in a couple of weeks -- at I least I hope so. :)

Hello all,

I hope you will all bear with me as blogs are not my forte, and hence I'm mostly winging it here and hoping it looks correct when I hit publish.

I'm in my second year and Florida State, and incidentally am Brian's cousin, which would explain how I came to know him.  Or rather how he came to know me.  Nonetheless, I am studying photography and graphic design.  I shoot freelance for the University's newspaper, and do other stuff when I feel like it.  Sometimes I go dancing, and sometimes I eat tacos.  But that's neither here nor there.

I also got a Rubik's cube for christmas.  I've been playing with it a lot lately.  I beat it twice with the aid of the instructions.  I'm not sure if that counts.

The picture I included is from a football game this past fall, FSU's homecoming game against Boston College.  The Coast Guard did a flyover while the Marching Chiefs and the alumni band danced and tooted their merry horns on the field.

I also have a website if anyone is interested in perusing that, I would love to hear what you think of it.  http://www.reidcompton.com

So, it is a pleasure to informally e-meet all of you, and I look forward to seeing lots of pictures.

Cordially,

Reid
