As part of a photo class I am taking, I decided to take the "365" challenge and take one photo a day for an entire year. I am going to post the results here. I am starting Oct. 1, 2010, to finish Oct. 1, 2011.
It is so damn windy and it won't stop! I set my camera up outside on a tripod facing the tree in my front yard. I set the shutter speed to be pretty slow, so it would capture the movement of the branches in the gusts. Since the tree in front of my apartment is violently shaking in the wind, this photo really shows the blurry movement of the branches swaying in the wind.
I had to go down to Fort Collins to re-set the gallery for the month. I got there a little early and had some time before everyone started hanging up their work for the month. I was feeling sleepy on the drive down, so I walked over to a cafe to grab some coffee. As I walked by Old Town, I took some pictures of this statue of a girl swinging. I took a bunch of the overall statue, but there was something I liked more about just her face.
Knives in our kitchen! I like the depth. I was working on the whole "subject isolation" thing...where you draw something into focus and leave other parts blurry. There is something else I like about the look of the brushed silver.
As part of being a member of the Art on Mountain Gallery, I have to work there for two shifts a month. I worked my double shift on Saturday. It was pretty boring and slow, but I brought my laptop and got a lot done. Thank goodness for Hulu.
Matt and I went over to Laramie for the afternoon and evening! It was nice to spend some time in Laramie. We had a great Thai dinner with his family. The drive home was a little scary and snowy, but the drive over was lovely. We took Happy Jack, which is a little longer but much more scenic. We saw this little herd of deer in a valley.
