30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 4: Hair Flip Photo

May I present.. The Hair Flip Photo.  Ha, I honestly don't know why they made you do this one, it's probably the most inconvenient way to capture movement. ...ahhh... wait I get it. Photography Challenge.  But still, I didn't like it. Timing it was quite difficult, and after multiple times of trying to keep my hand steady as I whip back my head, I resorted to the tripod with timer...  but then I could never time it right (which called for some hilarious faces).. So I ended up flipping my head the whole 10 seconds... and literally almost threw up (ha, I would last about .3 seconds in a mosh pit).  As I said, NOT my favorite. 
But I do have to share the runner up and the just plain-out-embarrasing ones.  I got a kick out of them and I would do more if the nauseous feeling would go away.                                 

Runner Up: I call it 'The Eye'

bald and The Hulk neck?

Yes... this all happened in my ducky pajamas.

30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 3: Nature/Outdoors Photo

So I went outside on a hunt for 'nature' photo.  I'm really not a landscape photographer, so this was a little tough.  All I saw was wet snow and the same old trees.  I was taking a few shots of a tree when I noticed this little drop... and then I got the tree in the drop.  I honestly had no idea this was what I was going to get with wet old snow.  Well, life is full of little surprises I guess :)

Happy Friday everyone!

30 Day Photography Challenge ~ Day 2: Black and White Photo

 

Ha so you would think with a black and white photo that this would be simple, right?  With me nothing is simple.  Instead I have to hang on to a piano for dear life to get an "artistic" shot.  It's things like this that I crack myself up over.. what was I thinking?  But hey, maybe Ankle-Breaking may also be Award-Winning! Or at least that what I tell myself when I do this stuff.


Oh, and *no piano was hurt in the making of this photo. Most of my weight was being held up as I held on for dear life.

30 Day Photo Challenge ~ Day 1: SOOC Photo

So "SOOC" is a really high-tech sounding acronym for straight-out-of-camera.  This just means there was no editing done to the photo, it was just uploaded as is. Not so crazy anymore, eh? But.. I have to admit.. I like to edit my photos. Just little touches here and there, yano? It's like saying not to wear make-up if you normally do, or not to wear a tie if that's your thing. 
BUT this can make a photographer great. It's about getting it right the first time.  I do see impurities in this photo.. but I'm gonna strive to do better :)  Sheesh... I think all this "new years resolution" talk is starting to get to me!

As you may have noticed, I am taking on a photo challenge... which is unlike me cause I know how I follow through on stuff like this :P But, with a little determination (and maybe a little cheering, ey?) I will do this - one click at a time!

Please join me as I go through the 30 Day Photography Challenge <- there's the link if you'd like to give it a whirl!
