Clouds

Clouds are by far the most difficult thing I have ever taken a picture of. To our eyes they look amazing but when you put them onto film they look, well, boring. It's hard finding a photogenic cloud. And for now, I have only one picture out of almost 100 that I'm a bit happy with. It's a challenge or at least it is for me.

Water Drop

Water Drop photography is very time consuming yet very easy. Just get a bowl and fill it halfway with water or really any liquid. Now you need a zip lock bag and fill it with water and hang it about your bowl. Then poke a hole in the end and let the water drip. To focus you use a pen or pencil. Stick it in where the drop of water is hitting the bowl, then focus and put it on manual.

Night Time Photography

        Night time photography has remained largely untouched by many photographers. There are many reasons for that though. It can be, weather, patience, scared of the dark even. Though my biggest problem was focusing on something I couldn't see. Now night time photography is pretty basic. Have a long 30'' shutter speed and actually, you want a really narrow aperture. This will make is more forgiving in the focusing area. Now what you see in this pic is a photograph of power lines taken at night at around 9:00 p.m. You will want to use same composition rules as in the day time but just with longer exposure times.

Icons

      Themes was first introduced to me through an iPhone app by Nikon. I wanted to do something that captures the essence of what being a 15-16 year old kid was. First thing I thought of is, I walked. I walked everywhere. I would walk miles and miles just to buy the same coke I had in my fridge. So I decided on shoes. Next was what type of shoes? Well I could of for the cliche Converse. But in today's society, Vans lace ups or vastly more popular now. And plus I wear them so I would be easy for me to shoot them. Now days usually girls write on the white parts of your shoes or something of that nature so I wanted to make that my focus point. Now to include some elegance and mix old with new I went for Black and White, called monochrome in my Nikon d3000. This also made it very dramatic and immediately appealing for its simplicity yet the complex design of the shoe yet we never see that.

Plants

I love shooting plants as they are all unique. We never stop to look at close as we can to them. If we did, we would see how much detail there really is. These are some shots I took in my backyard during "golden hour".
