photography

i studied photography once and i have been pretending to make an effort to take more pictures.  but I always find excuses. Today I made a pinhole for a digital camera i borrowed from work, and went out and shot a little. Well I shot a lot, but only one or two came out any good at all.

So I took off the pinhole, put back on the lens and blew hot air on the lens instead, i like how they turned out.

Then I went to the velodrome and shot the bikers, regular-like – no fogged lens, no pinhole, just f-stops and shutter speeds.  The light is always really nice and the bikers make good shadows.

The people at the beach picture reminded me of this thing I saw on “today and tomorrow”

soph said it was an animated gif, that it was easy and she knew how to do it, so I put together a little bike race experience for you all…

That was my day… I guess it was productive.  I did post my first real blog entry!  Yay!

i have so much to do now, have to set up this for kids and their homework.  i have to find artisits for the gallery and i have to start setting up a calender for next year for the gallery. summer school starts on monday and i havent finished the syllabus, but mostly.  i think the wording is just wrong.  i have photographs that i have to look through and a bedroom wall that i need to set up, and paint green.  and i have to find crabs for sophias bday crab feed in the backyard.
