While I was browsing around on Photo.net, I came across some beautiful landscape photos by Gallego Caldas Jordi.


I like his work. I would recommend checking out his gallery. There are many more dreamy and surreal shots like the one above.

Happy Halloween

I wish a Happy Halloween to everyone! Today will be interesting. I work from 12-4 p.m. and everyone gets to wear costumes during their shift today. I will be the greaser running the register at the Winder Pizza Hut. After my shift I plan to go shoot and find a Halloween feature out there while all the kids are trick-or-treating. I know I can find something. I wish all of you good shooting and a great Halloween.

Child Portrait Re-Shoot

The shoot was a success! It was a significant improvement from the last shoot. Special thanks goes to Jeremy and his nephew Abram.

Space Photo: Japan's Land Observing Satellite

National Geographic has a section on "Space Photos This Week" and the photos are definitely worth looking at. This photo of a basin in south-central Algeria was taken by Japan's Advanced Land Observing Satellite. If I didn't know any better, I would assume this was just a picture of some sort of a rock slab.

Re-Shoot: Child Portrait

Tomorrow's late lab will consist of me re-shooting the child portrait assignment. Jeremy offered to bring his nephew for me to photograph so I have a new subject now. I am excited for this shoot because I know it will be an improvement from the last one.

On a random subject change, I had a frightening experience today. For a few minutes, my flash drive was totally inoperable. Every file on it was showing up corrupt or no longer existing. I shut everything down, rebooted my system and thankfully the drive shows up healthy without any damaged files. Close call and a slap of reality to my face. I hope that never happens to me again or to anyone else.

Underwater Photography

I love to swim. There are many aspects of activities in my life I enjoy photographing, but water and my camera could never get along. I have always wanted to try underwater photography just to see what it is like. However, there will always be that one part of me that screams "Get the camera away from the water now!". I found this video on YouTube starring underwater photographer Wayne Levin discussing his experiences when taking photography to a whole new world. Perhaps one day I will gain the confidence and ability to try this out.

Proud

I am proud to see my animal assignment hanging in the classroom.

Many months ago I thought I would absolutely despise portraiture. I do not think it is the highlight of my future career, but I do enjoy it so much more than I expected. It feels good to be on the classroom wall again.

Small Cameras With Big Sensors

PDN caught my eye with a new article mentioning a new trend for portable cameras. The full article can be found here.

One particular camera that interested me was Lecia's M9. A full frame sensor crammed into a rangefinder camera body. Right now the camera runs for $7,000. More information on the M9 can be found here.
