Germany Week - Day One

Untitled


I've been featuring German culture pretty prominently on this blog so far, ergo it seems only right to do an official Germany Week, right? Right! We'll start off bland with nothing more then a tree. Ooo, pretty tree!

Another twofer day? a-wha?!

This is actually a present I received a number of years ago for Christmas from a friend up in Yk. without her kind gift these photos wouldn't have been possible. So thank you Moira!

Pewter Statues Week - Day Six

IMGPA9879


I actually did take a photo of this before but decided against posting it since I was unhappy with how it turned out. I've now taken another photo of it (this one) and I'm STILL unhappy with how it turned out. I'm less unhappy though. So maybe, Maybe, with some tweaking and cropping I'll be happier with it. But until then this is going up in its current form. I hope you enjoy it anyweather!

Pewter Statues Week - Day Five

IMGPA9861


I was really hoping to save this one this week for Photo Phriday but I ran into the unfortunate scenario of not having enough Pewter Statue photos this week to make it to Friday (so guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?). So, yeah, this is up a bit early *technically* but I still like how it came out.

There's also an important lesson I could teach you about of depth of field, the aperture on your camera, and framing when you compare this to photo to Day Three too.. but suffice to say the photos themselves, I think, illustrate the importance of choosing your composition and aperture well enough. Not to mention they demonstrate just how many different photos you can take of a single subject.. As if I didn't already illustrate that with the Saskatchewan Legislature..

Ah well, we'll see you again tomorrow!

Pewter Statues Week - Day Four

So this skeleton walks into a bar and orders a beer and a mop...

Yeah, I still don't have anything relevant to say here. Do you think you'll survive without my relevant OR witty commentary?

Pewter Statues Week - Day Two

IMGPA9841


I've actually been meaning to sit down and take these photos for a while. The problem was, despite being in my home, finding the time and energy to take 'em was just a bit much after juggling every other minutiae and detail of life. Still, I couldn't procrastinate forever, so here I am and here they are! I think Pewter statues are awesome! ... Yeah! 'Cause you haven't guessed that already!

Karneval Week - Photo Phriday!

IMGPA9336


If one were to ask my opinion (which, admittedly, if you're coming to my photo blog you probably aren't going to do) you would here me tell you that I like the photos which don't quite reveal all the details with people. Too much realism with people tends to annoy those in the photos, while too much lighting and too much photoshop tends to make them look fake. Whereas if you can capture that moment between too much detail and not enough in any one person you can will have created an amazing image.

Is this one of those? Well, it's not my place to judge due to my horrible bias but I liked it enough to save it for Photo Phriday. So there's that!

Karneval Week - Day Six

IMGPA9475


Here, we demonstrate through the magic of slow shutter speed, how to make legs magically disappear by moving very fast. Either that or there was a space-time vortex in the room and no one noticed. Which would be very creepy and disappointing at the same time...

Karneval Week - Day Three

No Karneval is complete without some Jazz Hands... At least, that's what I'm declaring!

"Who is your daddy and what does he do?" - Guy totally misrepresenting what's happening in this photo (aka me).

Flora Week (II) - Day Twelve

Untitled


Here's another Flora photo I like, coincidentally. This one I like more because though weird outcrops make me think of some sort of alien plant life. Kind of like those tufts on those monsters that were with Marvin the Martian, except these aliens are less sinister in nature. And less purple and more green. Yeah. Now if only I could figure out why my friends have stopped returning my calls....

Flora Week (II) - Day Eleven

IMGPA4802


Lo, the beginning of November! And what better way to mark this occasion then with another lovely reminder of spring, a period many months off from now. Geez, if this is the entry you first get introduced to my blog with, you'll probably never come back because of my horrible reminder eh? Well, we'll just hope the rest of you stay despite my evil-ness.
