Week 45 - Semi-Semi-Professional?

I hereby declare myself a semi-semi-professional photographer.  I figure, a professional photographer makes a living as a photographer, a semi-professional makes some money but not enough to give up the day job and a semi-semi-professional saves money by not paying a professional or semi-professional.  Therefore, I am a semi-semi-professional photographer since I just didn't spend a small fortune to decorate our bedroom.  Are you following my logic?  I could have gone to the store and purchased some art to fill this wall but instead I bought empty frames and put my pictures in them thereby saving, well, depending on the value of the photographs in question, hundreds of dollars.  Well, dozens of dollars anyway...

Week 44 - Seminar in a Book - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 is about working with natural light, an obvious choice for nature photography.

The assignment involved taking a series of pictures over the course of a day on a single subject but in the variety of light from dawn to dusk.  It took me a couple of days but thankfully the weather was sunny the whole time so the series of photographs still demonstrates the lesson nicely.

Sadly, I picked a view that doesn't look great in any light and only after taking the last picture did I look to my right and see something worth photographing.  That picture is posted to my Project 365 and is the picture from September 5th.

Week 43 - Best of Project 365 - August

As usual, I had a tough time picking a favourite from August Project 365.  In the end, I went for the simple geomtry of the brickwork of the PEP building in Nelson, BC.  In post-processing, I took out most of the colour and increased the contrast giving it an antiqued look.
