Back to School.

For ME!!

I am having so much fun doing my assignments for my photo class.
As much as I love the people I work with, there is nothing better for me than
just going out on my own and photographing random things that speak to me.

Extremely therapeutic :)














...my favorite...

My Favorite Time of Year.

My very first post was similar to this one.

I Love Spring!


Looking back, I have come a long way...
but I still have a long way to go.

Logan, Utah.

This weekend I went on a little getaway with my cousin (and photo buddy) Ashlee.
We had a lot of fun freezing our butts off and taking pictures of really random things.
It was too cold and rainy to go to all of the locations she previously scouted out,
but hopefully there will be many more opportunities to return.

My goal while we were there was to really focus on working my camera in modes
other than Auto or Program. Most of these images needed very little photoshop,
if any at all. I experimented with things like higher ISO's, slower shutter speeds,
different White Balances to give more of a blue or orange effect, and special settings
to enhance color and contrast. WOW! What a difference it makes when you needn't
spend hours on end in the post-editing process.

This is me shooting the very typical
"In-the-flip-down-mirror-of-the-passenger-seat-of-the-car" image.

One of my best friends... :)





My favorite shot of the trip!



Thanks, Ash, for letting me copy this shot. I don't know why I couldn't see it myself,
but this is what I was originally going for before I gave up and you took over. :(
haha.

NEW CAMERA!!!

I am so in love again... I got my new camera (still waiting on my new lens) and I absolutely LOVE IT! There are so many neat features and I am so happy with the quality of the images.

Fun.

I have to laugh before I even say this, but the big joke around here is that because Rebekah Westover has totally taken over the "Portrait World", I am left taking pictures of the flowers in my backyard... (which I enjoy as well, so no hard feelings..)

Random.
