Blurred Nature
So.. I haven’t posted on here in what feels like FOREVER, but what else is new? I get busy, and stop, and forget about it. But when I do remember, it’s usually because I feel that I have something worth posting. So I’m not going to promise that I will be posting ‘from now on’ but we’ll see where it goes.
Hope all is well

So I figured instead of posting 20 pictures in one post, I would put them into a video.. Enjoy! These photos were taken on March 24, 2010.
The Faith of Fairfield Hills
>> Tuesday, March 23, 2010
This is another photo from Fairfield Hills, and I caught this “stained glass” on the front door of one of the doctor’s buildings. There were actually a couple of these on the door, but this one was my favorite because of the red coming through above the woman’s head. I saturated the image to bring out the faded colors and give the peeling paint some more life. I really like how the image is framed because it gives a little more interest to an otherwise simple photo.

HDR Self Portrait
>> Monday, March 22, 2010
So this Saturday I went to Fairfield Hills, an abandoned mental asylum that was closed about 15 years ago in Newtown. I LOVE going to that place, but the only thing that bugs me about it is the police! Every ten minutes or so, they feel the need to drive by and “check up” on you.. Pretty annoying, but understandable. MANY of the windows there are broken, and when you would walk up near them (obviously not when the police are around b/c they have a 15 feet imaginary boundary around the buildings) you could feel how COLD it is inside those buildings. I mean it was fairly sunny for the previous three days or so, and it was FREEZING in there.. Does that mean something..? Who knows..
For this photo I set up my tripod and set it on the Auto Exposure Balance setting that helps to create the High Dynamic Range effect that was achieved in this photo with three combined photos. The HDR helps to bring out the lights and darks in the photo that would normally be blown out or completely black. Thank god I had my cousin there to push the shutter so I didn’t have to run with the 10 second timer and pose! I hope to go back there again because I never leave there without taking some awesome shots!

Night Photography on Film
>> Thursday, March 18, 2010
So this photo was taken a while ago, but I finally went around to printing it 8x10. This photo was taken on film for my photo class. It was taken in Vermont on a foggy night with myself standing behind the model with a strobe facing the model’s back at full power. Night photography was my favorite topic that we did in photo class, and I have often included it in my past couple themes also. There are times when I struggle to capture the perfect light because of how fast the sun seems to set! At night you create your own light and place it exactly where you want it and decide how powerful you want the light. I believe that the more control you have over a photograph, the easier it is to achieve the photo you have pictured in your mind.
