Fat Tuesday then ... Lent


Well first of all may I wish everyone a belated Fat Tuesday, sorry I'm posting this just a few minutes before midnight. I hope everyone also has a good Lent season, and don't worry I will not be giving up photography for Lent. Here's a nice crop picture of the Space Needle and downtown Seattle. I'll apologize in advance for not posting in the next few days as life is about to get alot busier. I'm sure you all understand. That's it for today. Enjoy and keep coming back!

Overprocessing Fun


Decided to do a little, what I consider, overprocessing on one of my images. This one was taken looking directly into the Sun during a sunset, through a few trees. I was actually helping someone with understanding exposure compensation when i took it. It ended up looking relatively nice and with a bit of adjustments on the colors it is what it is. Hope you all enjoy. That's all for right now. Maybe another post later today, to celebrate finishing one of two papers...

Stairway to...the Ocean?


Fear not I haven't forgotten about my blog. I've been so consumed with writing papers I've had a make a few sacrafices. And though my devotion to the Daily Show and the Colbert Report haven't been shaken, my blog has unfortunately taken a back seat. Fear not though, Spring Break is around the corner and though I have some plans they won't take up the entire break. Trying to think of some new exciting things to do to enhance myself as a photographer so if you have any suggestions please by all means send them my way... Oh I also got some prints finally made of a few of my photos. Though I am unhappy with the printing service I used I am very happy with the way the prints turned out. So if you see me ask me to see them and more then likely they will be on me, and lord knows I'd love to show them off. Well that's it for now. Enjoy the update and look forward to more over the weekend...

My Flighted Comrade


Olympus E-500
Focal Length: 150mm
Aperture Value: f/6.3
Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec
ISO - 100

Admittedly this isn't the best photo but it's the best I got with my minimal telephoto lens. I now have the need and desire for a true telephoto, maybe a 300mm. But I did get a shot of the Bald Eagle so I'm happy. I was even happier to hear that they live right on Alki Beach. Which will make subsequent visits to try and photograph them incredibly easy. We'll see...

Exhausted


Another week down. Finished with my last midterm and I am anxiously awaiting the end of the quarter. I'm dying for a break, a break that I will spend in Montana relaxing as much as possible. I will try and bring back some pictures though. Sorry the updates have been chaotic and incomplete lately but I've been so very busy. I'll try and clean up the entries this weekend, and add some more photos...

Long Weekend


Olympus E-500
Focal Length: 60mm
Aperture Value: f/5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec
ISO - 100

I spent the better part of this weekend; Friday afternoon and Saturday; driving around the Olympic Peninsula. I visited Cape Flattery, the most Northwestern Point in the contiguous United States, on Friday and then most the rest of the Northern Coast of Washington on Saturday. Got a great set of pictures. Should have a few good pictures to develop for my upcomming portfolio. That's it for now; looking to relax today before what looks to be a long week.

Been a While


Olympus E-500
Focal Length: 150 mm
Aperture Value: f/5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/320 sec
ISO - 100

Yeah I know it's been a long time since I've posted. I've been so busy between work and school. Worked all weekend so I was unfortunately unable to update, but I'm back and hopefully my updates will be more consistant. If not I'll apologize in advance. As for the outlook, the weather around the area is looking to be nice for most the week so I might take the opprutunity to take some pictures. I know that I am looking at going out to the ocean this weekend but we'll see if the weather cooperates. Other then that I'll leave you with this picture of Mt. Ranier from the University of Washington Seattle Campus.

Whew it's been a crazy few days. I've been incredibly busy with writing papers and getting ready for work this weekend so it's been quite a while since I've updated. I apologize and well I'm kindof back, at least for today and might be able to tap out an update tomorrow before work. Planning a trip here in the next week or so out to the ocean to take a few pictures, still trying to build up a decent portfolio. I'm thinking about getting some prints made up here soon to showcase what I can do, we'll see. Anyways that's about it for now, tomorrow is going to be a LONG day...
