Went scootin’ and skedaddling through the Ellis Home and Garden Pumpkin Glow at here in Longview today! Sloan was tired more than anything, but enjoyed dinking around through the walk-through, and there was plenty to see and do even for babies! Though honestly I think she was down to throw hands at the petting zoo for some odd reason…
Got to watch The Child play her first game today! Link: Website, Facebook Second game started at 7PM, you could tell everyone was tired.
This snow reminds me so much of Virginia, so it’s nostalgic for me, but man oh man is Texas not prepared for this… not at all.
One of the worst things I’m at is actually directing people on how to pose, I feel like I’m a lot better at nature photography because I just “see” it and photograph it, I need to get better at directing people because I genuinely enjoy portraits. I’d like to move into photographing more people. My wife was nice enough to pose for a portrait assignment I have at Richland College.
One of the projects I’d never even attempted before was light painting, I’ve seen it and thought it was “Eh, gimmicky.” but it’s a lot of fun, and I honestly enjoyed it greatly, especially learning by trial and error.
As much as I hate making mistakes and missed opportunities, it makes me work a lot harder finding mistakes later and kicking myself for not measuring twice, at the end of class we actually got to go inside the studio at Richland College, it’s small but decked out with gear I don’t understand but immediately makes me want to take a Studio Lighting course! These were just quick “Hey we have 30 minutes of free time, this is what the Studio looks like!”, I had all the wrong settings, wrong iso, wrong lens, wrong shutter speed, but it really was a quick “Hey think fast!” moment and boy howdy did I not think fast at al! That being said again […]
