Though I'm sure you will agree with me- I am ready for summer! Standing in snow up to my hips on the side of the road while taking pictures of a swan offers stability, but you can't really get out of it too well...
Besides my obsession for taking pictures of random objects...
I have a NEW obsession! Painting with light...
GAH! Why haven't I tried this before? Sure, I lost sleep sitting in my room with the lights off and a small flashlight in hand painting the light onto my sensor, but hey! I only got one decent shot but seeing as it was my first time I was pretty pleased :)
Which brings me to my other new obsession (yes, I have a lot of them), well it is more of a hobby. That film camera up there? Yeah, I finally got my hands on one that works! Just fiddling around with it gives me more of a sense of all that goes on when you take a picture. Once I get some film I'm going to start shooting for inspiration. It slows you down before you release the shutter making you really think about the lighting, aperture, sensor/film sensitivity, shutter speed...ect. Oh, you thought I just raised the camera to my face, clicked and BAM! A good shot? heh, if only. Then again the challenge of each picture/situation is what keeps things interesting!
Anyway excuse my excited rambling! That's what has been going on in my photography life. I'm also preping for a wedding in May that I am super psyched about! I'd post about my last wedding that I shot but cannot for the the bride and groom's privacy.
Hope you are all enjoying the snow! And if you're not, at least enjoy the pictures of the snow ;)
