Not A Big Fan

I love photography its my thing don't get me wrong but im not a really BIG fan of posting my very good photograhs on the interent! so that some one could steel them!!! I would feel more better if they would come up with something like a flash gallery that there wouldn't be any way to get the photos that was in it.

Photographing In The Frigid Snow Weather

This past weekend i got the opportunity of a life time!!! Snow isn't something you see a whole lot down here in Texas ! The last time it snowed was in DEC 24Th 04!!! So i took this opportunity to sharpen my skills within photography. I was outside for an hour & 30 mins & i finished photographing the snow outside my figures felt as if they were going to fall off any second now!!! lol . I got the chance to see how my Digital SLR worked / survived in the harsh weather!!! It was like in the low 30s but knowing me i'm kinda use to that type of weather for i used to live up north in pittsbrugh pa but of course i started to get a little bit of home sick!!! I learn the every next nite how to photograph an event in that type of weather but there wasn't any snow falling from the sky & it wasn't as cold ever. On the nite that i did photograph an event outside it was in the lower 40s but it was still cold but get experience too!! So if i do have to do something like this again i know what to do!!!!

End of summer & the begin of fall

Well today was actually still summer intill 4:18pm Central Time. The last remaining hours - minutes & seconds of summer was nothing but raining!!! OMG!!!
This( fall Season) gives me the opportunity to try new techniques since i was use to the summer soo much!! But the one thing im going to hate is when we fall back in time & it gets dark @ 6pm but then again it gives me another opportunity to practice my twilight / night photography!!
ISn't it more overcast days in fall & winter or is it just in winter?
I wish i still lived up north in Pittsburgh PA ( my home town) cause the leaves turn beautiful colors up there vs. down here in texas your lucky if u get any leaves to have change into color!

Remembering That Day

Photography is what I love to do. It’s a passion of mine. There is not right or wrong way for it to be done.
For you are the artist behind the camera that simply takes the pictures in which direction you put it in.
I remember the day when God told me this is another gift of yours & I replied back Lord I can’t draw or paint let alone do photography but whatever your plan is for my gift let it be done until you o lord! For u know my abilities in the future which I can’t see BUT trust in you o Lord with whatever you give me!

Nite Photography

I wish it wasn’t that bad at nite cause I would really like to practice my nite photography at different parks in my local city. Im starting to get that creative eye in the nite photography area. I just like how the trees look like at nite for some reason. But I do have to admit something. Im not very patient on waiting intill I see the photograph that I took on the camera screen. That’s just something I have to work on lol!!!

Photography Name

I'm doing good with pretty much everything for right now. But the only thing that I'm actually struggling with is coming up with a photography name! OMG! i though it was going to be easy! but its not!!! Its like i want a catchy and a unique name but at the same time i want it to sound very professional cause i don't know if God is going to take me into the profession of a professional photographer? People , friends , family memebers have given me ideas of names.
Even one that God has given to that person told me the name but i don't really like it. i have read up on how to figure out a photography name. There are rules like :

1. keep it small not a long name.
2. make it so that people could remember it not a lot of numbers & letters together.
3. have it searchable - so that search engines like Bing / google / ask / could pick it up when someone is searching the Internet.

Its like I'm doing all this work all at once:
1. rough drafting the whole photography website out on paper
2. trying to come up with a name
3. can't make a e-mail in till i figure out what the name is that also goes for the web site's name or URL.
then trying to research on different things that I'm worried & trying to get a solid answer to the questions that are worrying me to death! lol
Also well as researching on how different professional photographers websites looks & deciding on the design that i will be using or coming up with one that looks professional but at the same time it would reflect my style! Hopefully after a decide on all of this i would make the website! yea!

circular polarizer filter

The one current thing I'm tackling with is the circular polarizer filter. I'm kinda getting the hang of it but it doesn't work with the auto focus! I wish it did cause I'm not too good with manual focus at all!! Yesterday i decided to try it out so I took my Digital SLR outside with that filter on it & i did OK but not what i though i could do with it. I guess the more practice i have the better I'll get at it plus i catch on quick & learn fast!
