Hiking on the Eno

I got lucky again. These were taken the other day on a hike out to Bobbits Hole on the Eno. I was attempting to get a shot of the water, with the really flowy cool water effect where it looks whispy. I got there too late and the sun was already too bright. I then spent a few hours studying and sleeping in my hammock before heading home. On the way in I had my camera out and just fell upon a couple amazing opporunities. Most of the leaves haven't changed yet, but this first one is of the most favorite pictures I have ever taken. Enjoy

Just a little camping at the Beach

I am having more and more fun using my Canon T1i. All of these were taken on a 18-55mm kit lens. Pretty basic.

Here are some pics that I took at Carolina Beach over Fall Break. I really didn't spent much time taking pictures and really feel like I get lucky half the time. I am definitely an amateur,

but am fairly proud of these... More to come! 

 

Duke Arts Festival Submissions

So, I have decided to enter two pieces of photography to the Duke Arts Fesitval. After a lot of thought, in the midst of two mid-terms, I have decided to enter these two pieces. The first, I obviously used photoshop to create an effect, which I don't generally like, but have come to terms with because I think that it really does justice to the picture enlivens the scene. 

The second, I haven't completely decided but will most likely be the one below the lake picture. I have been pressured to submit it, so we will see how things go. They will both be on display in the Bryan Center from Oct. 22 - Nov. 7. I hope you get to check out all of the work that has been done. I don't expect to win anything, but figured it was worth a shot and it will be a chance to get my photography framed.

Also, the first picture was taken at Navajo Lake in Utah, near Bryce Canyon National Park right after sunset. The person by the lake is my friend Christine who I spent the summer working with. The picture was taken with a measly Canon SD 870 IS.

The 2nd picture was taken about 1.5 months ago with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i with a 50mm lens, 3.2 aperture, 1/60 exposure at my friend Don and Amy's house. Picture is Don trying to be funny, but in effect created an awesome background. 

Hope you enjoy and wish me luck
