Definitely worth looking at large.

Sorry for skipping these past few weeks. I don't remember why I missed three weeks ago, but last weeks my grandparents where here, and this week my dad was on vacation.

So yeah I did make up for those tardy weeks though here and here.

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!

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.

A Beach. With Clouds.

Wow guys, sorry for the absence.  Tim and I were both at the beach for the weekend.  We've got pictures, which I'm sure some of you have seen on Facebook.  We'll have photos up on our respective blogs.  So don't worry, we are alive.

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

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. :)
