So, I set up this blog probably two months ago, as I wanted to post my photographs to share with people and get feedback about them. Well....hehe....obviously since I set it up a while ago and this is the, um, first post, I have been busy! Since school is almost over, I graduate high school next weekend, I will have much more time to post! =] yay!
Right now I'm working to save up for a camera. A Sony A330 actually. Nifty thing. I like it. Mom and I share the Pentax we have, which gets problematic as we both want it at the same time. [there is a link to her blog in my blog list, ...and a hive of silvery bees, she gets some damn good stuff! i get a little jealous at times.] It will be very nice to have a camera for myself. And of course the boyfriend, RAS, [oh yeah, we have the same initials, just btw.] requested that he be the first thing I take a picture of with it. Dad, the resident "pro" of the house, barely uses the cameras.....but he claims to be the main owner of them....*sigh, and thinks to herself* 'you may have bought them, but you don't use them, dad, so no, mom and i own them.'
Right-right now, I'm taking a break from editing my Advanced Photography final project. I'll post some shots later as I get more finished. Right now I'm making myself a proof sheet so I can narrow down my selection to 14 edited photos from about 30 shots. I'm so excited about it!
What's my equipment is at the moment?
Pentax K200D and a Pentax 50 macro lens, Pentax 18-55II [kit lens that came with camera], and a Pentax 75-300 zoom lens. We have a Lumix which idk what it is and it's not in sight at the moment, so the eight ball says "Ask again later". My film camera I use for school, we do both digital and film at my high school, black and white film that is, is a Pentax ILX. Sense a theme? There is a big, long story about why my dad bought that equipment, you don't want to hear. It's boring. We have an older Canon DLSR, PowerShot Pro90 IS, that reminds me of a droid in Star Wars, really, it does. That or a bull terrier, face wise for both. But I don't use that one.
I shot the project with our macro lens, which is slightly unconventional as I shot portraits. I only call them portraits because they are in portrait form, but they aren't a living person as the subject. The subject is more of the form of a human, not a living person. I put a mask on it so it at least has a face. OK, that sounds morbid.... I'm not using a corpse. Promise. You'll just have to wait and see! :]
OK, enough procrastination and not focusing, back to work I go! =]
TTYL!
