Alright well I'll start with the storm we had the other day. We had a crazy lightning storm the other day, this summer has been very dry here, so any type of storm was welcomed. Eating at the table I opened up the blind, Melissa and I were entertained by the amount of lightning. I never once shot lightning photos, never even tried so hey why not shoot from inside outa the rain. Not aiming for anything stunning, just some practice shots for the blog maybe and see what works. threw the fisheye on, put the camera in a tomato filled tupperware for no camera shake and ate our dinner as I fired off long exposures, I think we got lucky and captured two good ones I like.
Now on to the 2nd half...Melissa is taking a photo class in college and its sweet for me too, she needs to go out and take photos so it helps me get off my butt and get out there too. We went to the abandoned boiler works in town, where theres a lot of good stuff for her to shoot for her project. I tagged along and just shot whatever with my 30d and 50mm 1.8. The place is huge, and run down but a lot of fun. At one end there was a bunch of light coming through the roof, melissa was framed nice and I got some shots of her that I really like. I really really need to work on shooting with people and shooting lifeys and portraits, as you may know my website is lacking pretty hard in that department. I love it but I never get any shots that are really what I'm looking for. but these shots, I feel, are at least a step in the right direction. Always always always room for improvement but I'm learning. thanks for being a good sport and modeling for me Melissa!
then this happened, my 50mm slinged over my shoulder got caught on a chain I was crouched to get under and it ripped the front glass off. did some cursing, surgery and shes back together...so far so good..
enjoy! thanks for checkin it out
