Last week a stray dog showed up on our back porch and decided to stay. So we now have a new dog and she likes me more than pork so that’s pretty exciting.  She has been helping me go out and take pictures for a few days now and she sure is a “big help.” We just wanna show people how neat nature is, that’s why Bella and I went for a neature walk.

The hardest part of this assignment wasn’t finding something to photograph, but it was more finding the right shutter speed to capture as much movement as I could without it fading and being too hard to see. It was also difficult to get the subject of the picture to do what you want when you want. I was trying to get my dog to look like it had a ghostly trail behind it but now its more like a ghost dog.

When this assignment was assigned I was still completely unable to walk, let alone go searching for a whole bunch of color schemes. So I decided I was going to have to make some right there on the couch. My mom is an avid sewer so we used her fabrics and patterns to get this done.

This weekend I went bird hunting and trap shooting with my brother, my dad and our family friend Brad. My leg was still pretty bum so I rode in a golf cart during the trap shoot but was mercilessly forced to walk in excess of a mile for 6 roosters and 8 chuckers. Not entirely sure that was worth it for the birds. I was hoping to get some pictures of the barrel flame but the lighting was too dark and cloudy to get a shutter speed fast enough. But here is what I did get

This assignment I was going to do a picture of a rock climber going up an enormous mushroom but it turns out I don’t have any rock climbing equipment so I made a massive dog looking at a little dog through a window. It was surprisingly difficult for me to get the masking right on the window sections

There was fog last night and it froze and now its frost so I decided to take pictures of it. I didn’t think that it was very likely that I was going to get any good pictures out of it until i saw that there was light reflecting off of some of the frost which was contrasting with the background fairly well. I then tried to find this as many times as I could and still make it look nice.

My neighbors have of chickens that they just let roam around and I think they are a really cool animal to watch so this week has chickens… and JaxonI like how intensely the chicken is string at the camera its almost as if he’s trying to start a fight.wI thought I would be able to easily photograph these chickens but it turns out chickens aren’t too intent on doing anything interesting so I probably took 100 photos of the exact same thing. So I took some photos in the studio. I don’t like taking photos in the studio at all I think it just takes away all artistic thinking of the photo but I need to learn how to use it well so why not.I don’t plan on doing a lot of studio shooting but when ideas aren’t really flying around there is always my fallback photos.

this was one of my favorite photos of the summer I wish the lady’s hand wasn’t there but this was more a sneakshot than anything so I didn’t really have any say in the matter. 

In this one I was trying to get a sense of movement because he was on a swing but he couldn’t keep his feet still so they are a bit blurry which I don’t like.  I feel there is something else I could do to make this shot look better but for the life of me I can’t figure out what to do

same bird but there is no more innocent youth just creep with a bird I don’t have a lot of complaints about this photo except for the people in the background which I don’t mind  

i said we should blend in so he then decides to sit next to some people drinking and talking and just sat resolutely still until they noticed hilarious
