Pond Day
















Blog #4


I went to a pond the other day and took a few photos. I changed one of the features on the camera to sports and took a few photos of my dog running towards me. Then I walked down to the pond and took a few photos of the pond, but my nature photography skills could use a little work. I’m having a little trouble on the time lapse.  The time-lapse isn’t looking to good because it’s hard to take a picture in the exact same spot every day.  And it is very hard to take a photo everyday because I don’t always get home when the suns out and I’m not there. I may just get a tripod and record the sunset go down for about thirty minutes. And then reduce the minutes to seconds and make a thirty second time-lapse that way. Although that just really seems unoriginal because it has been done so many times. I may go to Alex City this weekend and I can take the camera with me and maybe find a few streams or maybe even go to Lake Martin.

 
Until next time,

Blog #3


Ok so I haven’t taken a lot of photos this week because I’ve been quite sick. I plan on uploading some photo leftovers from when it snowed that I have. It’s been so cold out lately that I haven’t been able to take any photos because I have bronchitis and sinusitis. I plan on taking twice as many photos this week but I might go somewhere to take some because I’m running out of places to take them at my house. I’m going to get my drivers permit Monday so I might end up staying out the whole day that day and if I do I can go take some somewhere. Plus it’s been so cold that I haven’t seen many birds or squirrels outside of my house. I’ve been learning about the different features of my camera so I might be able to take some cooler and higher resolution photos. Maybe get one of like a bird in flight or something.

Blog #2

I took a few photos yesterday, and I switched out lenses on the camera which helped out a lot! I can take many more photos now. When I used to take them it would be a pain because the lens was so zoomed. I wish I could've learned this sooner but hey, you learn as you go. I plan on editing a few of the photos. I got one of an old warehouse type thing behind my house which I think will look quite nice with a black and white effect on it. I got one of my cat. His name is Paul (I thought it was funny to name him this) he is solid black with olive green eyes and he is very stuck up. I tried to get him and my dog to take a picture beside each other but my poor dog doesn't understand the concept of sitting still to take a picture. He's a Yorkie by the way.
