Shoot Numero Dos
December 10, 2007
So this past Saturday I got to spend a few hours kickin around downtown, putting my new camera through its paces for the second time. Once again I went with friends Adam and Danny who were kind enough to loan me their expertise and much higher quality lenses. We almost went to the zoo–National Geographic, here I come–but decided to postpone for another day for lack of time.
Though the excursion was again a lot of fun, I was somewhat disappointed with a lot of what I took this time. I was probably too impatient in composing and lining up the exposure for a lot of my shots, but live and learn.
Sunday afternoon, Toni and I went to the lake near my apartment to let her play with it for the first time. I think I did okay as a teacher and will readily admit she was a patient student who pulled a couple pretty cool shots off! Most of all it was fun to share a new hobby and passion of mine with someone I love!
Below are a couple of the better shots I took throughout the weekend. Unfortunately I am pressed for time (finals, signing up for new classes, wedding planning, Christmas shopping, finishing off two web design contracts, and oh yeah, working) so hopefully I’ll be able to post more later.
$1.50 for 60 minutes in parking spot #8 on a Saturday … whatever keeps our politicians fed.
berries, when Toni and I were walking around the lake … in case you were wondering, I’m pretty sure that blue is the sky reflecting off of the water, not the water itself …
behind door number blue …
the “eet” building.
a Christmas ornament on Adam and Kacie’s tree.
closeup of a chain …
actually taken last week, but retouched for improved color …
because nothing says I love you like handing your fiancee a picture of a red flower …
or a yellow one …
retouched from last week’s shoot–this one with a more “artistic” presentation
I liked the colors in this picture–there’s also just a lot going on in this shot.
neat red/whitish/green contrast.

I myself buy from and would recommend the following camera retailers to any one! They offer good prices and top shelf service. In particular, both Adorama and B&H are great resources for learning and I've always found their staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I'd so appreciate it if you use the links below to begin shopping; it won't cost you an extra cent but I'll earn a small commission which will allow me to spend more time answering your questions and helping others!
