Renovation of my blog

So I haven't used this blog since advanced techniques, but I'm starting it up again for picture story. Please leave comments and critiques and I'm going to try to update as much as possible. I'll start it off with a picture I recently took of my puppy Harley.

Painting with Light

What a fun last assignment!! I think I can do a lot more things with this technique though and will definitely keep practicing. Anyhoo, there were some difficulties we encountered, such as being surrounded by a gang of raccoons but overall it was a great couple of nights. These pictures were taken with an ISO 100, F4, and the shutter speed on bulb. For both of these pictures I used flash and a flashlight. Oh and by the way can anyone tell me how to make my photos bigger on this page? It's already on the large setting. Thanks!

Audio Slideshow Research - Portrait of a Cobbler

Here is the link to a story that I found on the New York Times website called "Portrait of a Cobbler." Just click on my title.

Multiple Flash

For this assignment, Amanda and I went to Twilight Dance Studio and photographed an adult ballet class and some private lessons. Everyone there was extremely nice and looked like they were having a great time! I think we did a pretty good job considering the insane amounts of glass, windows, and metal that we encountered.

Blending Assignment

This was a fun assignment!! I don't know if it was because I was at the bowling alley or because the point was to get a blurry picture, but it was a good time. I couldn't decide which picture was my favorite, so here are there from my shoot. I like the second one, but the flash seems to be very noticeable and maybe even "ugh". I like the action that I caught in that picture though and he just so happened to get a strike on that shot as well!



AMF bowling center in Columbia Missouri, was packed this Wednesday night April 9th. Perhaps it was the dollar games or students needing a break in the middle of their school week.



Brian Coley bowls a strike Wednesday night at AMF bowling center in Columbia, Missouri. He was there bowling with guachos co-worker and girlfriend Kerri Klocke.



Although Steffi Dickmann is only 5 foot, she can bowl. She had the top score of the four friends she went bowling with on Wednesday April 9th.

Color Correction: Fluorescent light

Luke Lachmann, a senior at the University of Missouri, enjoys his job at Jimmy Johns. He greets customers with a friendly “hey what’s up” as if he has known them for years.
