This is Lyle. He also came with me on the trek. I don't remember taking this picture actually; but I like it anyway. To me, his eyes seem to go with a mischievious grin, although this is mere speculation, as I don't remember this. I'll leave it up to you to use your imagination. Go nuts.
This is the same creek that I posted before, but taken from a different angle. You can see that the surrounding landscape is similar to the first photo. I don't know what it was about this place that attracted me, but there was something that intrigued me about this part of the trail. I stopped here for some time to get some photos of the creek.
With this one I really wanted to emphasize the droplet of water on the leaf. I gave this one a really shallow death-of-field, so that the parts that were in focus (the leaf and water droplet in this case), were the focal points of the photo. The red leaf is a good representation of the current season. It's simple, but I like it.
I liked the scenery here. The contrasting stones with the flowers and shrubery.
This is Josh. He's one of my friends who came with me on the trek. Here I was just messing around, taking random pics, and this one turned out to be pretty good (with a little tweaking here and there).
This is...well, I guess it's just a pile of stones. I dunno exactly why I took this picture. I guess I just liked the way they were stacked.
Hey all, me again. Just got back from long trek to the Khumbu region. I finally got a new lens too, so I have lots of new good pics (if I may say so myself). This particular one was taken from quite a distance away ('cause my lens is JUST that good!). This was taken during Dashain, where young kids fly kites pretty much all day long for about a week.
These small wooden sticks were strewn across the entire beach. I took a couple of macros of them, but this is the best one, what with the contrasting colors of the brown sticks against the green blades of grass.
This one was taken on a beacn (obviously) in South Carolina. I went for a morning walk, and saw these shells strewn across the entire beach. They all had somewhat of a trail behind them where the water washed over them, and then fell back into the ocean. The water soaked up some of the sand, and left these lines trailing behind the shells.
Here's another one from the Fourth. I took this one towards the end of our own little "show", and as the show progress, I slowed down the shutter speed more and more. So this one had a ridiculously slow shutter speed, and here's the result.
This is another one from the 4th. My young cousins insisted that we buy her some sparklers, so I got a couple shots of her hand waving the thing around. I slowed down the shutter speed majorly, so that it would make it look like she was moving the sparkler really fast. I think the outcome is pretty cool
Hey all; apologies for the huge gap between the last post and this one. My computer totally crashed about a month ago, so I have to use my mom's laptop for the time being.
This particular picture was taken on the fourth of July, in Oregon when I was visiting my Dad's family. The man in the photo is my Uncle David, setting off one of the many fireworks we bought. The fireworks weren't the most impressive, but I was able to get some interesting shots anyhow. I like this one particularly because of the omnious shadow on David's face, giving the photo sort of a creepy feeling.
Some palm trees just outside of Karnak. A little bright, but what to do.
Another one from Karnak. I wanted to get some shots of people, in their "natural" habitat
Hey all, me again. Apologies again for my absence. I've been pretty busy, but not that I have heaps of time of my hand (good ol' summer vacation!) I will be able to post up some new pics. In April I went to Egypt, and just about 2 weeks ago I was in Tanzania, so I've got alotta pics . I'll start with the Egypt ones
Here's one side of a small shrine in Pashupati. Apparantly this is where the Sadhu's go to sleep during the festival. I just liked how it looked, with the graffiti on the wall.
Took this one down at Pashupati also. Thought this would make a cool pic.
Here's a pic of a local Sadhu, taken down at Pashupati during Shivaratri. I wanted to take a bunch of facial shots of Sadhu's, almost like a small "project" about Sadhu's. They really have amazingly interesting faces, and I wanted to capture some of them. This is the first of many Sadhu pics I took. I'll post up some more later.
Here are some more flowers, taken in my back yard.
Hello Hello. I'm back. Apologies for the huge gap between this and the last post. I have been pretty busy. Here are some flowers that I had in my front yard. Nothing fancy, I just needed something to post up
Here's the last of the pigeons. This is a different flock of birds; I only took 3 pics here.
Some more pigeons. Black and white so as not to seem too repetetive
Here's an old photo; taken up at the top of Shivapuri awhile back. I really like the lighting in this one
These kids were piling brick after brick on to this bike, but it kept falling down; however that didn't stop them trying it again after each time it fell down!
