Getting out and taking pictures

After seeing the pictures that I am submitting for the gallery, I have been inspired to get out and take more pictures. I have been noticing the flowers again this year (I was not last year) and I am happy with the shots that I have been taken. I think I am getting ready for when the wee ones start school and I will have more time to really apply myself to my photography.

Here is one of the shots that I have got recently:

Happy Star Wars day

May the fourth be with us all.

My prints arrived today and I have decided that as I was given six frames that I will be putting in six pictures.

It looks so funky seeing my pictures framed. I am really happy with how they look and I will be getting a picture of them before I hand them in. It is the first time that I have seen one of my photographs in a frame.

Exhibition

I have decided to submit five pictures to the exhibition. I am cutting it fine though. I am so lucky that I will be given five picture frames and I have ordered the prints for them. Hopefully they will arrive in time.

Supermoon

I was worried that I would not be able to get any shots of the full supermoon tonight, but thankfully the sky cleared and I was able to get some good shots of it.

Here is what I managed to get:

It does look really funky, so I feel very lucky to get the shots that I have done.

Photography competition

I did not do so well in this photography competition.

He said that two of my photographs did not fit the set subject. I can see how he decided it, however I know that it did fit into it.

Though he did say some good things about the picture that I submitted that did fit the subject. He said that he liked the angle that I worked at and liked how I had tried to be different and that it did work. He also complimented the composition of one of the pictures that did not make it in and I can understand when he pointed out something in the background. I will edit that to see how that changes it.

Entered another competition

Yestreday I should have gone out to take some new pictures for the next photography club competition, but I forgot all about it.

Thankfully I had not left it too late and I was able to get some shots taken today. I edited and E-Mailed them off tonight. I am not sure how they will do, but i enjoyed taking them and I am happy with them.

I think I will try to get some printed ones submitted as well before the end of the season.

These were the shots that I took (the competition was urban decay)

Very pleased

That I got the shots that I did of the flooding as today it was back to normal.

I think tonight I will have a read through one of my photography books. I might have a look at the cs4 book. Hopefully not that much has changed.
