May 18 Photography Update
About two months ago, I found myself hitting a brick wall with my creativity. Not just photography in general, but with website design, programming, and life in general. I found myself not producing anything that I considered “up to par”. Thus, my camera found a home, case gathering dust, in my closet, wasting its life away.
Level 3 Studios Photo Shoot
After two weeks of dying to actually pick through these photos, I finally found the time this past weekend. My schedule has been ridiculously busy, and as such my blog updates have suffered; that precious buffer I had going: gone! Anyway, this batch of photos is from my first photo shoot, which I did at…
February 1 Photography Update
Well, more photos! I have had people breathing down my neck for me to put these up, and I’ve finally given in. Because this week’s update spans almost two weeks, I’ve got almost 50 photos here (48, to be exact), ranging from the hoar frost we had a while back, to the Black & White…
January 18 Photography Update
The latest batch of photos is in. This time, all are from this past week’s Legion, where we got a great turnout. I was able to try out using my flash in slave mode, where it gets controller by a 580EX II which is mounted on my camera. Overall, I think I got some great…
January 16 2010 Photography Update
Over the past week, UMSwing has had a recruitment table up in an attempt to get new members interested in the club. During that time, we do a lot of dancing (a couple hours a day), hoping that some people will be impressed by it. We think it’s working, but we’ll have to wait until…
An Exploration Into Using An Off-Camera Flash
Recently, I bought a set of Cactus V2 remote flash triggers off of a friend for my camera. These allow me to use a flash off-camera, which can give me a number of different lighting effects based upon position and intensity. I’ve been trying them out a lot so I can get a grasp on…
Dec. 29 2009 Photography Update
Although I posted them last night on Facebook (they won’t stay up there forever), I’m also posting some photos that I took in the past month here, most of them being from last night. I just picked up a new Sigma 70-300mm 4.0-5.6/f telephoto lens for my Canon XTi body, and decided to try it…
Oct. 24 Photography Update
Now that I’ve been taking more photos recently, I’m getting into the habit of posting them up a little more frequently. Rest assured, I’ll keep you all updated when I put up new photos. If you want to take a look at some of my other photos, just head to the gallery. As always, I…
The New Camera Lens: Some Sample Photos
I recently picked up a new lens for my Canon Rebel XTi DSLR camera: the EF 50mm f/1.8 II, to be precise. It’s the first lens I’ve bought for my camera so far, mainly because almost every other lens is god-awful expensive. At only $130, this was a steal of a deal, and if you…
