Week 9

Well I made it. Week 9 marks the official end of this experiment, I will be doing my best to keep up with shooting, I hope, at least twice a month during school. More on this after this pics!

This weekend was another beautiful, albeit not as warm as I could have enjoyed. Being able to run outside without 15 layers on screaming about not being able to put my arms down is awesome. Especially since it is warm enough for the aforementioned but not too hot to be uncomfortable. In tribute of this wonderful weather I partook in one of my favorite past times, that is going for a drive with a goal of getting lost and/or finding something cool. Well I was successful on both fronts and I have a pretty cool panorama to show for it.



My second picture was driven by the fact I still had a Doppelganger picture on Facebook and wanted to change it. I decided to shoot a clone photo. This is the first time I have done one of these, and I wanted to try it close to the computer so I could trouble shoot it if need be. Because of this I shot it in my room and was limited on my frame and activities, but I am excited to try this in the future.



Well I guess this is the time where I go back and review my progress. I am not sure looking at the photos there is much to see in face value. That said I have become much more competent on site with the operations of my camera. I still want to improve my composition and layout and just having the eye for things worth shooting.

I am happy with this project and I hope to do this again over my summer work term when I have the time again. Thank you to all those who have viewed, I hope I keep this up and continue to improve.

Enjoy!

Week 8

Why hello, I figured trying out some macro shots would be fun. I just shot some stuff I had lying around...see if you get the theme.

Enjoy!

Week 7

This was a rather downer week for me. I had a big ski trip planned for the end of the week, I took Thursday and Friday off from work and I was ready to have a blast. Call it fate, call it bad luck, call it stupidity but I went out skiing after work last Monday to use my pass for the week, I usually go Saturdays. Well while on a trail I have skied countless times, I performed a trick I have done countless times, but this time it was different. I took a tumble, I am not entirely positive what happened as I don't remember anything between thinking, this is going to hurt, and standing in front of the lodge with a killer headache. But at this point what I am sure of is I caught myself and protected the rest of my body using my face to cushion the landing. Your guess is as good as mine what happened in the time that Sam forgot, as I have come to call it. I would like to think I skied like a champ, hitting rails and doing flips that would make Sean White jealous.

Back in reality, which has been a little cloudy as of late. I ended up taking a ride in the band aid bus to the ER got a CT scan and the rest of the tests for head trauma late into the night. The results...a concussion, a very lack luster black eye, and a ruined ski trip, with not even a story to tell since I still have no recollection of the event. All was not lost though I graciously retreated to the domicile of my youth to suck from the parental teet for the weekend and take every opportunity to blame any and everything on my bruised melon. What could be better...O yeah 12 inches of fresh pow pow and moguls the size of Aveos, but considering my situation the best option was the former.

Well these pictures are kinda lack luster, but hey give me a break, I have a...see it is very easy to pull the broken card. :) They were taken while traveling down I-90 back to Western NY.

Enjoy!
