So this is my last known day until LATE July that I can get on the internet, so don’t expect any posts for a while.
“Tanamakoon living ever by its name, hail all ye fellow men well met…”
So on Thursday i will leaving the city to head to camp where I will be in the middle of no where for about 9 weeks, give to take a few days off to reach the computer. But I do this every summer because I have loved the camp and will be enjoying my 9th summer there, second summer on staff. Its in Algonquin Park, Ontario Canada. Plus the nature and “authenticness” (the camp is about 80 years old) helps make compositions for great pictures.
Taking Pictures of Churches
Whenever I take pictures (a ton might I add) of religious monuments I get a little nervous that I am offending that church by taking so many pictures of it, and often not of the whole thing. But I get on the zone, play around with my camera and end up enjoying taking pictures. The following picture is of a church in Taos New Mexico, St. Francis of Assisi.
Color Saturation!!!!
Sorry about the MIA…my computer was still broken…where almost all my pictures were. So I’m back with a practically brand new computer. (I didn’t even have to send it to dell).
This post is dedicated to something you can do in photoshop…color saturation (I got the idea from my friend Eliza.)
The original picture:
The next is saturated with red light. A quick physics lesson. “Colored” light is made up of red, green, and blue. Mixed together they make different colors. When no color is reflecting its white, when all the colors are reflecting it makes black (I think this is how I remember it…think about it makes sense). Red and and blue make magenta, red and green make tealish, and blue and green make yellow. The picture:
The nextr is satured with blue
The last is when green has been taken away.
Another Hot Air Balloon.
Our pilot was telling us that when hot air balloons go out they try not to go out alone. That was the same in for our ride. This is a picture of the other ballooning lowering into the Rio Grande Gorge while we raise above it.
Back Lit Subjects
I love taking pictures of back lit subjects. It is easiest at sunset or sunrise when the run will be directly behind the subject creating a black silhouette. This was taken very early in the morning of my hot air balloon ride. The subjects are setting up the basket.
Out West….Again
So two post in one day….making up for my once again MIA for the past what feels like two weeks. But first my screen to my computer is not working and I am in New Mexico celebrating my father’s birthday. Fist we spent a few days in the FABULOUS Santa Fe (kinda touristy, but still a cool place). And now we are in Taos, where we went on a hot air balloon ride today (get excited for those pictures).
The following picture is from the Bandelier National Monument. First a little history about the Bandelier park. In ancient times (I think) the cliff dwelling houses were inhabited by people that are linked to the Pueblos.
This is a picture of looking down onto the first ladder climbing up (out of four) and last climbing down to the Alcove House. I’m no quite sure about more information at this time but if you have any more questions, post them and I will look through my guide books to answer them.
Flag…the deer
So the name is more a camp reference then the actual name of the deer. Taken at the Maine Wild Life Perserve, the deer was still in the fence but you can’t see the fence. I love how the deer stopped moving to give me time to take the picture, ie focus and get the lighting exact.
Broken Down
Sorry if it seems that I have been MIA lately but I really just have been VERY VERY VERY busy. Its the end of the school year so I have had a lot of packing, a lot of moving, and a lot of finishing projects up thus running around school.
Since it had been so long and I am sitting here uploading slides (once again) I lot I would make a post.
The title of the post does not refer to me, but more the objects in the picture. The boat’s stern had completely fallen off and the lobster traps look like they are no longer needed. I love the objects in the picture because it gives out a very rustic feel to the picture. Enjoy!
