DEPTH O' FIELD

I found a really neat junk pile.

Rock Show Motion

This is a band from Austria, they call themselves Pocket Rocket. They're here on their "pants down for the party" tour.

i just found a cool building while I was on a date the other day. I'm definitely going back there to get some more photos.

s'mo motion

this is bert; he's my airsoft gun. 405 feet per second, 800 rounds per minute, reflex sight, and a fully functional silencer. oh yeah

Shutter speed: 1/20. ISO 800. F-stop 10. Indoor shots are hard

MOTION

this is my airsoft buddy named fritz. I used a 1/20 shutterspeed, F-stop 10, on ISO 100 to get the shot.

I like my eggs in black and white.

hahaha i found an old picture of me

OLD PHOTOS

Camera+rain+macro lense=Sweet photo

LOOK AT MY OLD POSTS!!!!! GAH!

I WISH I HAD MY CAMERA

In the school where I live, They let us out for a week and a half to help in the potato harvest. during that time I checked out a camera from my photo teacher. The cloudy skies casted GORGEOUS lighting for panoramas...and I never got around to shooting any photos except for the picture of the boy in the rain coat. I could've done so much more, oh well.

15 things I’ve learned the hard Way
By Jake Banta
1. ALWAYS check your ISO! An ISO higher than 200 will result in a grainy looking image and a loss of clarity. The ISO is the sensor’s sensitivity to light. A high ISO is used for fast moving objects or nighttime snapshots. A Low ISO is used for daytime shots and/or objects that aren’t moving.
2. Cloudy days are best to shoot in. The clouds diffuse the harsh sunlight, transforming it into soft light that doesn’t ruin the colors of the object you’re shooting.
3. 240ppi is the magic number for printing photos. Any less pixels and your image will appear pixilated, any more and it just makes your files take up more space on the hard drive.
4. There’s more than one way to do anything in Photoshop; so far I’ve learned five different ways to make a black and white image.
5. Saving files as JPEG’s compresses your images and makes the picture look worse and worse each time you save it.
6. Film may be obsolete, but it’s still the best for night photography. Film produces a less grainy image than a sensor in low light environments.
7. Thoroughly inspect your image BEFORE you print it…..damn trees….
8. A digital SLR camera will need to have its sensor cleaned from time to time to reduce dust spots on your image.
9. Tripods are your friends when taking panoramas.
10. The clone stamp tool is very handy for removing zits in an image.
11. A small F-stop number means the aperture is opened wider than a larger F-stop number.
12. A small F-stop (2.8 or so) has a very narrow depth of field, making it less than desirable for portraits.
13. A 100mm. lens is perfect for portraits because it doesn’t distort facial features.
14. Always use adjustment layers when working on an image. It just makes life easier that way.
15. Camera RAW format is wonderful because it gives you all the tools you need to fix your image without having to reshoot it.

Here's something to think about.

If we truly are what we eat, then cannibals are the only real people on the planet...

i tried that same pile of reeds from a different angle. I think I like it better in black and white.

I like the lines here, and how the colors kinda match.

I love the vivid colors in this one. I have a soft spot for macro shots.

I was working the drive through one night and a couple came through with a home made super grover on their antenna. I was fanatical about it and I told them i would give them free food if they made me one. they came back within an hour or two so i gave them cinnimon twists for it. the ceramic pieces in the background are things i made.

An old friend of mine was helping me make night photos. You can have a lot of fun with a 30 second exposure and a light-up skipit toy.

I was wandering around the hallways in my school when I noticed a south-facing window that was casting some beautiful diffused light onto a section of the hallway. It was in the morning and the sky was cloudy so the light was gorgeous, the girl is too ;)

I was out taking night photos one day in the gardens up at BYU-I. I arrived there a bit early so the lighting was a bit odd, but i think it works in this case. Its kind of surreal.

I just happened to catch some beautiful lighting while I was camping with my family and relatives. In retrospect, I could have done without the rain that day. The weather really cut my shooting time down. oh well, at least I got one trophy.

........i don't know what to say about this one really.

i really had fun in photoshop when i made this image.

haha my sister has pretty hair and eyes to match her insane personality.

I just happened to catch my momma as she was making a "i bet Dad would like this pose" joke. he did, hes' got a huge print of this picture in his office now:)

I had a thought the other day. When a girl/guy rips your heart out does she eventually give it back or do you grow a new one? I think it's probably better to grow a new one, i say this because with a newly grown heart you don't have to worry about cutting all the attachments you had to the person that hurt you.
