Photo Manipulations
http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/39-amazing-photomanipulations
So I was using Stumble! to browse the internet the other night while looking for topics on this blog. This website came up and immediately drew my attention. Some of the photos are extremely well done. I wish I knew how to do some of them. I consider myself a pretty good user of photoshop but I realize I still have much to learn.
I like #2, #5, #11, #18, #33 and #37.
I like some of them because of the idea behind them and I like others because the quality of the work. I would have to say the one that stumps me the most is #33. Its the one of the man holding a paper with the hand protruding out off the paper. I may want to try doing some of these because I wouldn't need to travel to exotic places like I would if I were shooting landscape.

NASA Comet Pics
http://www.kypost.com/dpp/news/national/nasa-craft-snaps-pics-of-comet-in-valentine-fling
This was just an interesting article that I read about a deep space camera. This particular space craft was launched back in the 1990's and has visited the Temple 1 comet twice. I just think it is amazing that these photos were taken 210 million miles from earth and that we have the knowledge to get something within 100 miles of a rock hurdling at 24,000 mph. I have always been extremely interested in space so it was cool that this happened recently. Not only that but it happened on Valentines Day. I can't wait to see what the new generation of deep space cameras will bring. Hubble I believe will be around for at least another decade, but with the steep advancement in camera technology we may be in for some pretty spectacular photography from NASA.

Well, that took a long time to attach. Such a large image... Anyways I just had no idea what to write for this post. What I ended up doing was taking pictures! After all this is a photo blog. I wanted to experience my camera with some macro shots. Everything I have done before on this camera used a telephoto (except for Xmas pictures and stuff). I only took these pictures for about 30 minutes but had a lot of fun. I was experimenting with different zoom, aperture. shutter speeds. At first, I tried to use the flash and the picture was too glossy. Obviously being too dark I turned up my ISO. That didn't work too well because it was a little too grainy and I didn't like the added depth of field.
Finally got my settings right and had a blast with different perspectives. This particular shot was my favorite out of the 50 or so I took. I can get a little trigger happy sometimes. Its ISO 400, 1/2.5 s, and 4.2 aperture.
Plus I like to play guitar so. I had a pretty good lesson today, maybe starting to work on my own stuff. And I definitely need to catch up with Tom on the drums. But that is just an aside.
