Day Twenty-Eight

I am so tired!
I can't even think of what to write for today's post, except for how much I want to sleep!
So I think this will be short and sweet. Today's picture was taken during my advanced lighting class. We were learning how to light glass, and I took a picture of this!

Nikon D3 with 24-70 wide-angle zoom lens. F/18, 1/200 shutter speed, and 100 ISO.
GOODNIGHT!

Day Twenty-Seven

Late again on my post!! Of course, the picture was taken yesterday, it just wasn't posted because I was editing them all night for my Editorial project that was due this morning. So, I've been running on no sleep this whole day, and have been going non-stop! I couldn't find time to post the picture until now because I had class until 6pm.
As you know, I've been working on the mime photo project for a while. After reshooting and painting Kevin's brothers face about a million times, which by the way I am still not done with the whole mime concept yet, it was time to show the class my progress.
After being critiqued, I was happy to know that I have improved with my photography but the one thing that I can't seem to get a grip on, is framing.
Normally when I take a photo, I zoom out a little more than what I want, so I can crop the picture in post. Well, when it's time to crop the picture, I don't know exactly how to crop it, so i just leave it. That's what was wrong with today's picture. So, I cropped it in more, and this is what I came up with.

Shot with Nikon D3 and 24-70 wide-angle zoom lens. F/2.8, 1/125 shutter speed, and LO-0.3 ISO.
Cropped at 8x10 inches, and edited in Photoshop.

I just wanted to say thanks to my followers! I don't think I would still be posting if I didn't think you were reading these. :]

Day Twenty-Six

Ah! I need to stop posting these blogs on the wrong day but I do have a really good excuse this time! Yesterday was a very busy day, re-shot the mime shoot in the city, took day 26's photo, showed up to a friends birthday party, Steve Verdone, Happy Belated Birthday Steve!
Anyways, I didn't even get to edit yesterdays picture until tonight because I was so busy doing shoots for my projects. I want to go into detail of the day but I only have so much time to work on my photos for Manol's project, so I have to end this early.
This is in Steve's, Kevin's brother, apartment hallway. I thought it looked very interesting, especially for yesterday's photo.
BY THE WAY, I did take this picture on day 26, again, I didn't have time to post it.
Enjoy!

Day Twenty-Five

Twenty-five days in and still going!
I don't really have much to say tonight. My brain is tired from school and I am physically exhausted from being up since 7 this morning and running around doing errands.
I really need to stop saving my photos for the end of the night but I find that it is the easiest. It makes me look at things differently.
Anyways, here is todays photo. Enjoy!

Taken with Nikon D3 and 24-70mm wide-angle zoom lens. F/1.2, 1/125 shutter speed, 100 ISO, and SB800 flash.

Day Twenty-Four

Another day, another photo.
There are days where it seems as though the need to breath has to somehow fit in my busy schedule, and there are days where all it seems there is to do, is breathe.
Today was none of those. I worked all day, from 11AM to 10PM, and it was very relaxing. Needless to say, I did work on projects but they weren't for school. One is for my mother's work, and the other is for my boyfriend. It is so cold outside, I refused to drive around Schaumburg to find today's photograph, so I had to be more creative today. When I came home from work, I went to the fridge for a snack.
As you should know, I didn't end up making/eating anything because something caught my eye.

Two eggs sittings beside one another. They are neither alone nor together. There were actually two photos that I took of the same two eggs, but both photos gave a different feeling. I literally sat in front of the computer for an hour trying to figure out which one I liked better. I couldn't decide which one was better, so Kevin helped me decide.

Shot with the Nikon D3 with a 60mm micro lens. F/3.2, 1/125 shutter speed, and 1250 ISO.

Day Twenty-Five, here I come!
:]

Day Twenty-Three

The day after the snowstorm was very lazy, after the 2 ½ hour labor of snow shoveling/blowing. One thing that I did not want to take a picture of was snow. After 18 inches, I don’t think anyone would want to see more pictures of snow.
So, I decided to go a different route. Take a photo of someone getting rid of the snow!

Taken with the Nikon D80 with 60mm, f/6.3, 1/320 shutter speed, and 100 ISO.

Day Twenty-Two

So as you know, the past few days have been blizzard warnings, and with my luck, the house that I was staying at, the internet went out. I still took my photos, but I couldn't post them until now.
It was very hard to take a picture in the blizzard, not only could I not see what I was taking a picture of because of the snow blowing in my face, but the camera was getting wet. So, the picture taking was very minimal, time wise.
This is what I could take a picture of..

Shot with a Nikon D80 and 60mm micro lens, f/3.3, 1/60 shutter speed, and 1600 ISO.
It is not one that I would like to post, but out of the 10 pictures that I took, it seemed to be the most interesting.
:]
