Taking Shots

So, I've always loved photography. As a sophomore in high school, I took a photography class, and I've loved it ever since. Well, back in high school, I had a 35mm Canon camera that took rolls of film. I would have to go to the dark room (we called it the "bat cave") to try to develop the film, and I'd cross my fingers in hopes that the negatives would actually develop. Most of the time, only half of the negatives would develop, and the other half was just a black strip of plastic, so finding a good picture to print was slim pickins. Thank goodness for digital! Last month I invested in a good camera with a focusing lens and everything. All of the photography terminology came back to me as I read through the manual. . . Words like aperture, F-Stop, and shutter speed, reminded me of all the things I actually know about photography. I'm also starting to learn more about photoshop and how to enhance the images. I am hardly pro or expert, but I really have fun doing it.

So, I've been taking lots of pictures, mostly just around the house when I'm bored. Here are only some of the pictures that I've shot. I have plenty plenty plenty more. I haven't touched these with photoshop, so these are the images in their original form. Oh yeah, I also have a vase in which I'm always changing the flowers. The vase is probably my favorite model to shoot. You'll see some pics below.

Ardon so peacefully sleeping. The flash woke him up after this one.

The strings of the guitar hanging on my wall.

Salt and pepper.

The morning after a night out, I found my shoes in the window.
