Week 5 is based on light. I tried to modify my position to get a lot of different lighting conditions. I found " DPS: 9 Lighting Types to Harness & Improve Your Photography " really useful for ideas. I am hoping to do some more shooting in the future and add more to this. The lighting conditions I had to work with were fairly direct, I was very happy with the lens flares I got and especially the lantern shots! Don't forget to see my other stuff on social media!

How-To Festival and Block Party This was the 3rd annual How-To Festival . I've never been to a "How-To" festival before, It was very interesting! From writing prompts to 3D printing, a large variety of arts were present. My personal favorite were tech related of course. I learned that the Maine State Library UP room is a thing! While I haven't had the opportunity to work on projects, I hope to in the very near future! I entirely understand that this video is not a production miracle. My goals are just to create. I've spent months watching videos on how to make videos... Yet I haven't been making them... So, I have to start somewhere. I am hoping to do a weekly Adventure log to be posted on Mondays. I just found my school has an open computer lab on Mondays! I am really excited to start working on a decent computer! I will be making more content as time goes on! My current interest are photography, Youtube videos, and Podcasting. I am working to bui...

Week 4... Which was 2 weeks ago... Week 4 was based on Depth of Field. I got woefully behind due to some poor life choices (Yes, I do want to work a 60 hour work week! Great idea!) but I'm back on track and moving forward! I have got Adobe Lightroom working, which is what is running the lovely slide show you see above! I did most of my work this week in Aperture mode, The Canon 80D has a touch screen... which made focusing a little bit of a cheat, but I also did some manual focusing. If some pictures appear out of focus... that's why. Thanks, Nicholas.

closest thing I got to panning...  It's kind of weird to be start blogging 3 weeks  into a semester, but I felt I wanted to share my college experiences and what I'm learning. So this post focuses on photography. This weeks assignments was to capture motion. I should go back and document what all the different shutter speeds were.... but that's a lot of work. Instead, just enjoy the motion captured! I tried capturing some panning, but It proved difficult, especially with a spastic kid as my subject... I finally did capture the first picture of his face mostly in focus. I then tried to capture him in motion while keeping the rest of the scene clear. Some of the technical aspects of this photo aren't great. The sky is rather blown out, I'm still learning to work with color corrections...  To capture a good motion blur I meant to go to an overpass and get a great shot, but that opportunity didn't come. The motion blur of this picture is the beast I cou...

Wow. Just Wow! This was my first ever Con so I had no idea what to expect. In many aspects it was great and terrible. Having lived in Maine my whole life I've never really ran into the problem of literally thousands of people trying to fit into a much smaller space. Trying to get into the first showing of Attack on Titan  was comparable to going to a Best buy on black Friday. The line almost circled the hynes convention center... The line went from outside exsibit hall D down the small hallway, all the way down and back Boylston hallway and half way to pre function hall C! That's when I got in a half hour before. we didn't make it into the showing on Saturday. Luckily they added one one Sunday. It was amazing and worth the wait. From what I've learned a large part of the issue was the fact that Anime  Boston is trying to slim down and focus on just anime. Panels were cut and sadly panels had to turn many people away because thy couldn't fill slots like in year...

On Instagram this weekend I posted this picture with the caption "Sometimes I wonder why I stay in Maine. Then I go for a walk in the woods." I spend countless hours in "Hobbit Land" as it's been called for generations now. It's actual name is Vaughn's woods, but it far more fun to look for the chairs and homes of Hobbits then to look for Vaughn... Growing up my Mum always took my sister and I (and whatever friends we had with us) through what I thought until this weekend to be the only trail through Hobbit land. As my fiancee and I walked into the woods; instead of walking straight forward like I always had I looked behind us and saw another trail that I had never seen before... Of course curiosity got the best of me and I had to try this new mysterious trail... Here is a map thanks to " my tracks " View 4/28/2012 6:39 PM in a larger map As you can see I didn't think to start my track until after we started walking this ne...
