<br />
This first one is from last week, when it still wasn't really spring. It was still pretty cold and rainy and windy all the time, and the weather felt pretty dismal.<br />

Sort of boring, I know, but I need something to tell with 6 pictures, so here you go.<br />

Well, I haven't updated this blog since before Spring break. I guess I was just doing too much over break to have enough time to update anything, though I have content to update it with (and plenty).<br />
<br />
Now, for this assignment, we were supposed to do portraiture, but I decided to go in a bit different direction than the normal "studio" portraiture (as big of a fan as I am of that style).<br />
<br />

We started off inside, because it was snowing pretty fiercely outside. But the pictures weren't quite coming out the way that I wanted, so out of around 45 pictures, only these two (left and below) turned out to be worth saving. <br />
<br />
I was trying to get some sort of condensed light from the light umbrella, yet I really need a new, more powerful flash to really get what I want.<br />

In the zoomed in image you can see a lot of snow caking on her face and eyebrows. I am very thankful to her for dealing with the below freezing, very fast wind conditions. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And now what I think to be the best of the photoshoot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX0-vz4U2UqGn5DOOwQRs0rkdjMAIlI9EIEx7aXYefcBnafzU4NRwa_OsEvBJ-WuS-ZHIiOMI6UcGZREsNBOFG0Vs8yZmP1QfqBTVGp3GsnlxvPJxEAd54GlU0hI1kf5PjVTtXLSUK_Tc3/s1600/_DSC3632.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX0-vz4U2UqGn5DOOwQRs0rkdjMAIlI9EIEx7aXYefcBnafzU4NRwa_OsEvBJ-WuS-ZHIiOMI6UcGZREsNBOFG0Vs8yZmP1QfqBTVGp3GsnlxvPJxEAd54GlU0hI1kf5PjVTtXLSUK_Tc3/s640/_DSC3632.JPG" width="426" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one gives a great sense of how intense the wind really was. Because of the front-curtained flash (look it up if you don't know what that is, it is a really interesting property of flash units). You can really see the vortices in the snow, how it was flowing around the model. All in all I would say an extremely successful photoshoot, though I only got 5 pictures out of it.</div>

This assignment focus' on a fairly 20th century interpretation of the term "Modern." It has to do with bold lines and patterns created by lights and shadows. I chose to do an interpretation of this sort of image by using many lines created by windows and shadows and electrical power lines.<br />
<br />
As usual, I will start with the best few images, since that is under the project definition. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one above is the most literal interpretation, at least from what I understood of the assignment, of the concepts of "Modernism." Strong lines created by an object and shadows and other things. As well, I feel that the dog footprints create some sense of movement through the frame. However, I don't like it at all. It doesn't speak to me whatsoever. <br />
<br />
This next one I like quite a bit more. I love the depth of field that I was able to get around the window.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3We2g3_noTvymrBwEslIXuqBGpm_dw0Xq-IfFkrPMEwELHRjcr-uRNSKqPN7O3JotHqHe2tTanlpW39F1rxjYdfFym51hBaGw9bdCmhLDpzDmGlAHoIAHb8LOKujCGah9bRV51ghaecJu/s1600/_DSC9555.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3We2g3_noTvymrBwEslIXuqBGpm_dw0Xq-IfFkrPMEwELHRjcr-uRNSKqPN7O3JotHqHe2tTanlpW39F1rxjYdfFym51hBaGw9bdCmhLDpzDmGlAHoIAHb8LOKujCGah9bRV51ghaecJu/s320/_DSC9555.jpg" width="320" /></a>Speaking of simplicity, this one is even more simple than the last. While it is very grey in black and white, it was better than the boring cream color that the wall was painted. I'm not sure what I was going for in this frame, maybe a sense of intrigue as the viewer wonders what is in the window. I'm not sure.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQiIrYoamxrKFEwpahSWOJi9Mj5-uBjJber34TcvzhzDfdL0-7v4f-VKkKifMCxlgDrgdnKx_XiXrFJRJuny5wNZX9a588uhjntC87JWnHxcIDc9F0DqVF3aAg09o9KVtz7-Xxbl9PWKDl/s1600/_DSC9588.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQiIrYoamxrKFEwpahSWOJi9Mj5-uBjJber34TcvzhzDfdL0-7v4f-VKkKifMCxlgDrgdnKx_XiXrFJRJuny5wNZX9a588uhjntC87JWnHxcIDc9F0DqVF3aAg09o9KVtz7-Xxbl9PWKDl/s400/_DSC9588.jpg" width="266" /></a><br />
<br />
This final one was more of an experiment in the technical aspects of my camera. This was at ISO 1600, with a shutter speed of 1/4000, in order to capture the falling drops. But I feel that it could actually work for an assignment such as this, with the lines in the background.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWlQXheu1TT7ujGvJ-x17mWMR2VlZPWk5-qp9sRw2ETxiKqGqZ6RY5bcMJDcC-Qik6Jp0c40PuTRFyKnNkP1s4u2VVf6YIXTVTQ9VKmrIdy01KO_IWwE1zBftwZRWv382f44KOO5WMUJ6/s1600/_DSC9606.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWlQXheu1TT7ujGvJ-x17mWMR2VlZPWk5-qp9sRw2ETxiKqGqZ6RY5bcMJDcC-Qik6Jp0c40PuTRFyKnNkP1s4u2VVf6YIXTVTQ9VKmrIdy01KO_IWwE1zBftwZRWv382f44KOO5WMUJ6/s320/_DSC9606.jpg" width="213" /></a>This one on the right is pretty much simplicity to the max. not much is going on, besides the double repeating pattern. But I like it in that aspect, and I feel it is very modernistic.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also took a couple portraits that I found out could be considered "Modern"<br />

This one takes on an almost 3D look. I wonder what it would look like if I had taken it with a D800...<br />

This one is probably the most "bokehliscious" (to use the DigitalREV term) shot out of the bunch<br />
<br />
After going through these pictures on my much larger, higher resolution Desktop monitors, I have come to the conclusion that I am absolutely in love with my new 85mm lens. The Depth of field is phenomenal, as well as the quality of the bokeh! I was using a 3 stop ND filter for most of these images, and the just turned out to me amazingly sharp, with a depth of field that isn't possible without an ND filter. Some of the images look almost unreal because of said depth. If any of you are looking for an awesome walkabout or portrait lens, I highly recommend an 85mm.<br />

<br />
So tonight we went out to the Cemetery just across from the University (a lovely place for one, indeed) and did some more long exposure pictures.<br />
<br />
Here are the 4 best pictures from tonight's outing:<br />

This was what I initially wanted to do, have a picture where the person was in the same place, yet their upper body was in a few different positions. Pretty cool.<br />

Now these two are very similar, so I sort of count them as the same one. I like the one on the left for the ghostly figures, but I absolutely love the one on the right, because that color swath is pretty awesome. For the assignment we aren't really supposed to do much modification that we can't do in our camera, so I don't really count it either...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And this last one also has that ghostly visage. It is a really interesting technique, yet I don't really feel like telling how to do it.<br />

I promise that I'll get something meaningful at some point here.<br />
<br />
Our next assignment was to do something surreal. Now I'm not really sure what that means, so I basically went out with my Girlfriend, Brother, and Brother's Girlfriend to do some light painting. I feel that it is something out of place within an ordinarily plain scene (such as a landscape, as you shall see).<br />
<br />
Also, this is going to be another one of those maddeningly long posts with pictures everywhere that don't have any rhyme or reason to their placement.<br />
<br />
First off, the 4 images that I think are the best:<br />

As seems to be my thing, I went back to the Indiana Dunes late at night. However, this time it was RIDICULOUSLY windy and cold, so I didn't stay out there for a super long time.<br />
This shot is probably the most abstract of the lot, almost like Light Graffiti. I like it (and it's also my new cover photo on el facebook)<br />

This one I also really like. Something about spinning and movement around a stationary object in a forest conjures up, to me, images from mythology about Will-o-Whisps that would lure unwary travelers to their demise. I love how the green vapor showed up in this one too, from the green glowstick.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6116zMDexfYbYYzd7t8-qqT9haQdEHwdd2P8rv_yoagU9iImQrTZKtQjm-BGXyKgiPXuWLCte-YV_MnECCBaZwddkztw-XWzXnU9QGYDgTDMeDFmNZzhFbHO1BBSLYh4qjN39W16MF2Ho/s1600/_DSC9934.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6116zMDexfYbYYzd7t8-qqT9haQdEHwdd2P8rv_yoagU9iImQrTZKtQjm-BGXyKgiPXuWLCte-YV_MnECCBaZwddkztw-XWzXnU9QGYDgTDMeDFmNZzhFbHO1BBSLYh4qjN39W16MF2Ho/s400/_DSC9934.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />

I went to Target today to get Ice Cream (oddly enough) and ended up with Glowsticks.<br />

This next shot is another one that I am not too sure about, though I really like the light pattern created on the road, and the sense of movement from my brother, who is the one spinning around.<br />

This one above here is probably the most surreal, in that there is someone standing there, yet there is the odd colors flying by, and there is the subtle shadow cast by me. Now you have to realize that when I was framing the picture I couldn't see that shadow whatsoever, and it was only through my Camera at ISO 1600 with a 20 second exposure that I was even able to see it. Eerie.<br />

This one is probably one of my favorites, after the first one featured. I really like the sky offset by the beach and the fractal form. <br />

</div>
<br />
For our next ART 163 assignment, we were assigned to capture a place in 20 pictures or so. This is a sort of hard thing to really grasp, since we, as humans, create a context of the room in our memory, where we are aware of what is around the room we are in after a cursory examination, even if we can't see it at the time. For Example, I know that there is a backpack sitting under the table I am sitting at, and that there is another table right behind me.<br />
<br />
But with a photograph, you can't know what is outside the frame. IT is hard to get an overarching sense of what the room/place is like from one, two dimensional frame. There could be a table behind the frame, yes, or there could be an 8 foot tall tentacled 3rd grade teacher. You just don't know. The purpose of this assignment was to try to capture that feeling of the room inside of a rectangle.<br />
<br />
These next 4 pictures are the shots that I feel are the best, most representative:<br />
<br />
So I chose the Manufacturing Lab here in Valpo. Lots of little bits and greebles.<br />

The one one the right is one of the collection hoppers for metal shavings coming off of the Lathe. This is very representative, as it is the messy aftereffects of creating parts. You will always have stuff left over, to be recycled or discarded.</div>

This is very representative of any place with large, powerful machines. There were warning stickers everywhere, and for good reason. I probably shouldn't have been in there when I was, but its fine.<br />

Lots of fairly unprofessional people, but its for fun, so that's fine. Still not quite the quality that I would want, in terms of acting, locations, lighting, and the ability for me to cut together scenes from different angles, but it is fine. My attempt to make a video last year was fairly pitiful, yet it still got some pretty good reviews from the Engineering department, and I hope that this one comes off better.<br />
<br />
So now I need to pack all of my stuff up and walk back to my appartment from the engineering building, where I have been hanging out since about noon. Good lord I'm exhausted.<br />
<br />
So I'm out.<br />

<br />
Today's post is about landscapes. Specifically, it is about landscapes that I took for my "Intro to Digital Photography" class. We were supposed to emulate a specific photographers style, and initially I was going to go with Ansel Adams, the famous mountain landscape photographer, but there aren't any mountains around here, so that one is out.<br />
<br />
So I was sort of out of luck on a style to be inspired by, but after talking to Guy Rhodes last week, and seeing some of his cityscape and landscape pictures on his blog (<a href="http://guyrhodes.com/blog/" target="_blank">http://guyrhodes.com/blog/</a>), I decided to at least try to get some sort of a feel similar to his. <br />
<br />
Now these first few are in color, but I honestly prefer them in black and white, as I usually do with landscapes of any sort. I am supposed to present 4 landscape images for my class, but I am going
to count the color and black and white renditions of these images as
just 1, as I would like a comparison of the two.<br />

Last Saturday night I couldn't sleep, so I went out and drove up to Lake Michigan at 2:30 in the morning. It really was pretty amazing to be on the beach in 20 degree weather, with the lake completely frozen and covered in snow. It was very surreal.<br />

This one, however, I had to shoot at f/2 with my 35mm DX lens, so it doesn't have the sharpness that the other pictures have, as I can't go past about f/4 without super heavy vignetting.<br />
This one is a slightly farther back version of the first one, without the darker band of sky at the top. <br />
<br />
I am quite impressed by the dynamic range on this image. This was with my 80-200mm lens, at ISO 1600, f/8.0, with a 6 second exposure. I was surprised at how much light there was for the camera to gather at 2:30 in the morning, and the sky cleared out enough to even see a couple stars. Lovely.<br />

Now just imagine, I am out all by myself at 3:30 in the morning, and it just so happens that the one car that I see just happens to be right there, in the middle of my shot, driving on the road, and would have run into my camera if I hadn't stopped the exposure and moved.<br />
<br />
Afterwards I realized that it would be pretty awesome to have some headlight or taillight trails going all the way down that road, so I stood there waiting for a car for about 10 minutes, but alas, none came. I probably could have realized how daft it was to wait for a second car at 3:30 in the morning, but oh well.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now last night my girlfriend suddenly realized that she needed some pictures for this assignment too, so we went out to try to get something with her idea, which was a black and white image of the Theater here in town. Now this was very difficult, as it was ridiculously foggy (like can't see out of my apartment window foggy), but we went out anyways, and I am glad of it. I took my camera too, and I got this shot below, and I think it is one of my favorites:<br />

I love the composition of it, with the repeating patterns and the leading lines and the dynamic contrast, so I am fairly proud of it, and it is the last picture that I am choosing for this assignment.<br />
<br />
Now for the assignment, we were supposed to try to emulate a landscape photographer, so I chose Ansel Adams, but obviously in Indiana there aren't any mountains or hills. This is unfortunate, but I do have one image that I took over Christmas Break that I feel gets fairly close. However, we aren't allowed to use previous images for any of the assignments, so this picture is here for the sake of the Blog.<br />

Ansel Adams strove to achieve dark skies and bright snow on his peaks, and I think that this got fairly close. I'm not good enough with Photoshop or Lightroom to get the sky completely black, but I'm not sure if I would want that, as it would kill the snow plumes that I really like.<br />
<br />
Bonus image! This is what happens when you stop a DX lens down

Yesterday the IMC photo/video team got to go to a presentation by Guy Rhodes, an amazing photojournalist and videographer based in the Chicago area. He has a fairly inspiring story about how anything can lead to you being a photojournalist. He said that he started out by charging his middle school $20 per event to tape it on a little VHS tape camcorder. Pretty basic.<br />
<br />
And from that humble start, he is now getting gigs in Florida, New York City, Las Vegas, etc. I find that very encouraging, and you should all check out his Blog sometime (<a href="http://guyrhodes.com/blog/" target="_blank">guyrhodes.com/blog/</a>).<br />
<br />
I took a couple pictures, one of him, and one of his gear. A really nice guy with some really killer gear:<br />

Shown here are his 2 Canon 1D Mark4s, one with a 17-40mm f/4, and one with his 400mm f/2.8 (wow). As well he uses a Panasonic Video camera for some of his videography work. That sort of tech makes me realize even more that I should really switch to Canon if I want to get into Video more.<br />
<br />
Anyways, more on Photoblogging and such. As you may have read, there was a fairly substantial MLK day celebration here at Valpo, so I went to cover a couple events.<br />
<br />
The first event, though there were very few people there out in the cold, was a simple Tree Blessing. Now the simple fact that there is a new tree on campus isn't really anything to get too excited about, but it is the meaning behind the tree that is significant. <br />
<br />
Each year, a person or group of people are awarded the "MLK" award, and as a result the campus plants a new tree in their honor. This was the blessing of the tree for this years recipients.<br />

Then afterwards the award recipients posed for me for an IMC picture.<br />
<br />
All in all, a fairly intimate event.<br />
<br />
I also went to the Hip-Hop in Politics in Senegal presentation, and from a photojournalistic standpoint, it was ridiculously boring. Literally it was just a power-point presentation in a windowless square room in the student union. But the idea behind it was much more powerful than the simple space suggested.<br />
<br />

I might come back and edit this post, and go into more detail about the actual things that happened in Senegal, but the gist of it is that a group of Rappers radically altered the outcome of an election by protesting and writing songs about it.<br />
<br />
So the rappers and hip-hop artists helped to basically out a corrupt leader in Senegal. Their "slogan" as it were, was "Yen a Marre" which is french for "We're Fed Up." Fed up with the established order and corruption. However, this "overthrow" was done mostly peacefully through demonstrations and music videos and such things, as opposed to violent opposition such as what happened in Libya and Egypt.<br />
<br />
All in all, this was a fairly interesting assignment for my photo class, and one that I will probably use the knowledge gained in the future.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCW-4h2mOCxpMfUkKOsoUtemh86xLdBMoBc8XIakSMNhVGqKmrOy1nsdusoJ7rIfAiJPAjlYxLkpH00avtHPFSDvDiculbr-AN6TRzHy8jLhJxQZcL7YRZWh7Vgcoin56ALGPwBjx5AGwP/s1600/_DSC7613.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCW-4h2mOCxpMfUkKOsoUtemh86xLdBMoBc8XIakSMNhVGqKmrOy1nsdusoJ7rIfAiJPAjlYxLkpH00avtHPFSDvDiculbr-AN6TRzHy8jLhJxQZcL7YRZWh7Vgcoin56ALGPwBjx5AGwP/s320/_DSC7613.jpg" width="320" /></a> I found it really interesting that in one of their songs they made allusions to Hitler and De Gaulle. These are figures from quite a ways back in history, so it was strange to me that they would use these people to try to further their cause against a corrupt president who wasn't really killing anyone. I think it is sort of in "bad taste" to make this comparison.<br />

MLK Day: Peace Circle vs. Hip-HopAt Valparaiso University we make a really big deal of celebrating Martin Luther King Jr Day. Everyone gets the day off school, most upperclassmen sleep in and freshmen are required to go to one of the many focus sessions offered to stimulate conversation. <br />
<br />
This year the theme of MLK Day was "Building Bridges: Dream. Dialogue. Service." Now while I, as a civil engineering senior, would have preferred a session called "Building Bridges: Out of Steel and Concrete", I was not so lucky. I had to pick a focus session to go to which focused on some more abstract concept of bridges.<br />
<br />
After spending a fair amount of time looking at the brochure for the event I decided to go to an event called, "Creating Safe Spaces for Hard Conversations: An Introduction to Peace Circles". This event promised to discuss the merits of peace circles and how they can be used to promote change and create a safe environment to share stories. All this while actually sitting in a circle. <br />
<br />
<br />
When I got to the event, I found the peace circle:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Unfortunately, five minutes before the session was scheduled to start, this was literally all that was there. <br />
<br />
Since I did not want to be the only person at a focus session, I decided to bail on this one and go to my second choice.<br />
<br />
The second session that I decided to go to (and this one I actually stayed for) was called "Hip-Hop and Political Change in West Africa". Hip-Hop. Nice. The only reason that this was choice number two and not choice number one was that I thought sitting in a peace circle would be pretty cool, while sitting in a dark ballroom watching slides might not have been. <br />
<br />
When I got to the ballroom for this session the room was packed. I was there probably three minutes before the session was scheduled to start and this is what it looked like:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sure, there are a few empty chairs, but overall this is a pretty packed room. The empty peace circle had nothing on Hip-Hop.<br />
<br />
Based on the attendance at these two events, I began to consider the usefulness of both Hip-Hop and peace circles in promoting societal change. <br />
<br />
The speaker at Hip-Hop discussed how a group of Hip-Hop artist and rappers who call themselves "Yen a Marre" (which in french means "I'm fed up") got more people to get out and vote in the last election in Senegal. Their goal was to remove from power a president who was not governing by their constitution. These artists were able to get hundreds of voters educated and out to the polls on election day.<br />
<br />
I wonder, if those artists had decided to sit in peace circles around the city instead of organizing rallies and informing people about how to vote, if the results would have been different. I speculate that it would have been quite different. I don't believe that their campaign would have been as effective with peace circles as it was with main stream music.<br />

Yesterday I bought myself a GoPro Hero3 Black edition with my Christmas money (plus some of my own money.) Thus far it is pretty cool, and I plan on using it to take some timelapses while in the car/plane in the next week or so. It is amazing what this little camera can pack into such a small body. 4K cinema video at 15fps, 2.7K at 24fps, 1080p at 60fps. The possibilities for this little system are near endless. I plan on using it when I make the TED skit this year for ASME. Hopefully I can stick it on the side of a car or something during the video, since I got the suction cup mount for it.<br />
<br />
Here are a few test shots I took today while out and about:<br />

I should have gotten it a bit closer, as I'm sure it would be able to see it. The sensor is so small that everything is basically in focus, and for something like this that is perfect.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSBUuSJpjlD27FnUCyrQdhw-spOkI24XPhyphenhyphen0OVsp7uyQw0NuLxn7DynsMAUb3YtBgqk2ffj3Q0DCw7EiOihGUqXsdYWaR2n06Fd3qnBRBFbGEEtZ8t_cPKI6erCpgE68orVU1cEVyCpn_/s1600/20130101+GoProH3B+Test-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSBUuSJpjlD27FnUCyrQdhw-spOkI24XPhyphenhyphen0OVsp7uyQw0NuLxn7DynsMAUb3YtBgqk2ffj3Q0DCw7EiOihGUqXsdYWaR2n06Fd3qnBRBFbGEEtZ8t_cPKI6erCpgE68orVU1cEVyCpn_/s400/20130101+GoProH3B+Test-17.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

This one above is probably one of my favorites, since it means that this tiny camera can fit easily inside of a mailbox, yet still pull great detail out of the highlights. The sky and trees at the end of this were completely blown out, but I was able to pull a ton of detail out of them, which seriously impressed me. Well done GoPro. Yes, it isn't as much detail as I would have gotten out of my D600, but that wouldn't have fit inside of a mailbox, now would it?<br />
<br />
All in all, I am very excited about the possibilities of this tiny, rugged camera, and am very glad that I bough it, even if the battery life is fairly sad at this point. I might go get a new battery at some point here before too long.<br />
<br />
I'll have some more pictures up later,<br />

The world didn't end, the economy didn't fix itself with holiday shopping, and my hair is still ridiculously short.<br />
<br />
On Christmas Day my family and I drove 3 1/2 hours south east to Fowler Colorado to see some family. I realized that it has been a long time since I have been down there when it was actually green, and the crops in the fields were tall. (It is a big farming community, if you hadn't already guessed.)<br />
<br />
While we were down there, there is a tradition called the "Cousins Walk" where all of the cousins (obviously) go on a walk around the farm trails. It was ridiculously cold (probably around 9 degrees Fahrenheit) so I decided to bring along my D600, to see how it handled the extreme cold.<br />
<br />
I couldn't be happier, as it handled it like a champ! No slowing down of the card, no super fast battery drain, the back LCD even worked great!<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my pictures from that very cold walk:<br />

I like how you can see all of the snow sort of shimmering in these two images (though it is harder to see in the upper one). I used a Tiffen 0.9 (3 stop) Neutral Density filter for the whole walk, to that I could have a bit slower shutter speeds than 1/2000.<br />

Now that is enough from a few days ago, now I'll say something from today. I went out for a half hour or so walk with my D600 and my tripod, hoping to try some more stuff with my ND filter. So I went back over to the place with the little bridge that I posted pictures of a couple posts again just to see what I could get.<br />

I could pull about a 1/3rd of a second shutter speed through my ND filter, so still not super slow, but enough to get the water flow. It would help if I went back later in the day when there was less light.</div>

The time when many people dread going back home and seeing their families.<br />
<br />
That's right, Christmas! <br />
<br />
First order of business I would like to compare my Christmas eve/day post from last year (<a href="http://figmentsofanengineer.blogspot.com/2011/12/for-real-this-time.html" target="_blank">2011</a>) to this post that I am writing. this is mostly academic for myself, as I want to see how far my photography has come since then. I will probably do a side-by-side comparison of similar pictures that I took this year (which I did on purpose should I chose to do a comparison).<br />
<br />
However, from looking over what I posted last year, it seems to be fairly similar at least in feel. The technical aspects, however, are quite different. First off, this year I have a FULL FRAME DSLR with high quality glass, as opposed to an APS-C crop-sensor entry level camera with a kit lens. I am pretty much where I wanted to end off, with a Full Frame sensor, so I couldn't be happier.<br />
<br />
All of these pictures, then, were taken with my lovely D600.<br />
<br />
So we had our traditional Christmas Eve service, like usual. I focused more on the details with my camera, so an not to be to distracting to others.<br />
<br />
Let's start off with our Christmas Tree. This picture below is my parents tree, which because of the High Park Fire, they finally broke down and got an artificial tree. <br />

It also afforded a good opportunity to snag a couple good pictures before they turned the lights back on.<br />

Once we got home, but before dinner, my brother felt like doing his "firewire" thing again, so I got one good shot of that.<br />

Then we had a nice steak dinner, very similar to last year, and now I am sitting here writing this, so I should end this pretty soon.<br />
<br />
Now, to end things off, this may be one of the best pictures that I have taken since I started getting more serious about photography. My personal opinion, yes, but I really like the composition and lighting.<br />

Well, I haven't really been up to updating this blog lately, but since I'm on break now I can spend some time doing a good post.<br />
<br />
Now, instead of doing a post just saying what I have been doing since my last post, I'll do one about how lighting really influences the look and feel of a picture. While it seems to be self-explanatory, I feel like it is something that I have been learning in the past year that I have been really into photography.<br />
<br />
These two pictures were taken at pretty much the same place, in my parents neighborhood, but the one on the left side was taken this morning when it was foggy and still snowing a bit, and the one on the right was taken right before sundown, when the sky was clear.<br />
<br />

While you can see more details in the one on the left, the whole feel of the one on the right is better, in my opinion. The one on the left isn't quite framed by the trees as I would have wanted, but the wind was bitter cold, and seriously painful to be out in, and I was sort of in a hurry. Now I was still in a hurry for the second shot, as I was rushing to get the picture before the sun went down, and my friend was waiting in the car. when I took it I didn't notice the random power pole on the left side, so that is distracting to me.<br />
However, I do like the distribution of the tree branches in the right frame, as well as being able to actually see detail in the sky, instead of a plain slate grey sheet. While the whole tone of the left frame is fairly stark and bright, which in some cases can be a good thing, there isn't enough contrast in the frame to make it very interesting.<br />
That being said, the right frame isn't super interesting, but in my opinion it is better. My eyes are drawn towards the sun, but then there is also the reflection in the water that add a bit of depth, and even though the bridge is a bit dark, it is still a fairly good point of interest. Most of the frame is blue, which can be a soothing color, which is offset by the yellow of the sun.<br />
<br />
So that's pretty much my opinion on the pictures that I took today. Take it as you will.<br />

I don't even know where to start with updates. Lets see where my last post left off...<br />
<br />
Ok, so after the Coldplay concert I finished up my last couple weeks or so of my internship and went back home for a week to get my drivers license renewed, and I brought my D7000 back with me with all of my lenses. I really do need to get back home to Colorado more often, I really do miss it quite a bit. The landscape if just stellar, so much more interesting than this flat stuff they call land here in Indiana. Even after 3 1/2 years here I still am slightly off-put by the lack of mountains.<br />
<br />
Anyways, while I was back home in Fort Collins, the big city arts/music festival was going on, New West Fest, and there were numerous local bands playing at something like 8 different stages across the downtown area.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This band was quite good, and they had a good gimmick going on with the zombie makeup. Pretty good stuff.<br />
<br />
The next day we went hiking up Horsetooth Rock. A few mile hike with a pretty nice view of Long Peak at the top.<br />

A couple days later my brother, my friend, and I went backpacking up the Poudre Canyon. We hiked up about 2 miles with our packs and set up a nice little base camp from which to explore around from. <br />

My brothers SOG tomahawk was getting a bit beat up after spending a couple hours throwing it into a very old very dead tree. Really fun, though, and I was able to nail down 2 and 3 rotations. It lent a nice sense of power sending this heavy piece of metal flying through the air and hearing the "thunk" as it embedded into the tree.<br />

Moose! And not a little one, a very large Bull Moose. It is unfortunate that I only had my 50mm lens with me, or else I would have gotten some better shots of this majestic beauty.<br />
<br />

Later that night we discovered a really awesome effect with an overpowered laser pointer and the fire.<br />

Here are a couple nice result shots.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We tried some long exposure stuff later, but they didn't really turn out from me.<br />
<br />
That was basically the end of the camping trip, and we didn't really do much more before heading back to Valparaiso for school.<br />
<br />
Intermission:<br />
Not chronological with the telling of this grand yarn, because GoPro just released this, but it is just awesome:<br />

Anyways, School started and I got back into my Engineering classes. It is senior year, and it is a bit harder in ways, as the subject matter is a lot more confusing, but I have less homework.<br />
<br />
I am taking:<br />
Machine Design<br />
AutomaticControls<br />
Advanced Materials<br />
And Senior Design.<br />
<br />
Now, for senior Design I actually am in the greatest project group. We have to develop and build a remote controlled submarine for taking pictures underwater at a depth of up to 100 feet. I'll give more details in some future posts (hopefully).<br />
<br />
Anyways, I got a job with my Universities marketing department as a photographer/ photo editor. It is basically one of my dream jobs! I get paid to go to all of the university sporting events and other happenings, as well as I get to use the large nice photo studio down in the basement. Yay 3 point studio lighting!<br />

As "stellar" as our football team is, it is still really fun to go to their games and get nice shots like the two above. These were with my D7000 with my 80-200mm AF. I am getting so much better at timing and framing, and just photography in general. Yeah, I would go out and take some random pictures this summer, but that isn't the same as getting actual experience at an actual event. I'll probably post some more of my better pictures here, too, but I have to get them off the work computer still.<br />

More event pics. I really should get those pictures off the work drive, as I have quite a few all right pictures that I really would like to have up here.<br />
<br />

So as a result of all this, I bought my bosses D600. Full Frame beauty! I can definitely tell a huge difference in the Dynamic range and noise performance when compared to my Crop-Sensor APS-C D7000. I am So glad that I made the jump to Full Frame. The camera's performance in general, also, is also in general higher than the D7000.<br />
Here are the specs on Amazon:<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0099XGZXA/ref=s9_simh_gw_p421_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0CB8ZKWQBB1YJRZ42SW1&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846" target="_blank">Nikon D600</a><br />
And compare them to the:<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-16-2MP-DX-Format-Digital-3-0-Inch/dp/B0042X9LC4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1351830952&sr=1-1&keywords=nikon+d7000" target="_blank">Nikon D7000</a><br />
<br />
The only thing that is slightly obnoxious about the D600 is that it seems to gather more dust on the sensor than my D7000, so I have to be more careful about changing lenses. There might be some issue with a slight gap in the shutter, it is something that has been seen in some models, and it might affect mine too. I'm not sure what to do about it, but I can deal with it in the mean time. The image quality is just so stellar that it makes up for it.<br />
<br />
Oh, I almost forgot that all of my pictures are somewhere else:<br />

These are all my pictures, they are just on the University Flickr page. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is the only picture that I currently have on my home desktop that I took with my D600, so it;ll have to do for now. I spent a couple hours messing with this on Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop. Also, it is fortunate that lightroom 4.2 supports the D600, even though Photoshop currently doesn't support the .NEF files out of it.<br />
Anyways, Picture.<br />

However, I had not been to one of their concerts, due to them being prohibitively expensive or in the wrong place or at the wrong time.<br />
<br />
BUT my girlfriend bought us tickets to a Coldplay concert for my 21st Birthday!<br />
<br />
Pictures! All of these were taken with my little 6 yer old Fujifilm f100fd point and shoot, so they obviously aren't of the quality that my DSLR possesses. Anyways, onwards!<br />

We got there are almost exactly 7pm, which is when the tickets told us to get there, and this is what it looked like, so it obviously wasn't then. <br />

But of course they were nothing compared to the main act. Coldplay! The whole show was absolutely mind-bogglingly amazing. I obviously know all of their songs by heart, so it was interesting to see what songs they chose to put into the concert. They didn't just do the Mylo Xyloto songs, they did all of their old good ones, plus some of their less-well known songs as well.<br />

As you went into the stadium each person was given a wrist band, and they all lit up at strategic times during the show, so the entire stadium was awash with lights and music.<br />

There is just something about their music that evokes an emotional response in me, and really relaxes me. I have a tendency to quell any emotions that try to come out from me, as a defense mechanism or some such nonsense.<br />

And the final bow.<br />
<br />
Whatever you may say about them, Coldplay knows how to put on one hell of a show, and I would gladly go to another concert.<br />
<br />
That's all for now. School is coming back and I've got lots of engineering and swimming, and I've got a job as a photographer for the Torch (my universities newspaper).<br />
<br />
So preow.<br />

<br />
They are basically the two coolest people in the world, and their wedding was pretty awesome. I think it was probably only my third wedding that I have ever been to.<br />
<br />
Anyways, while they did have a professional photographer there, they asked everyone to take pictures with their personal cameras and email them to them afterwards, so it's fortunate that I brought my D7000 (plus my two prime lenses) with me to the reception. I unfortunately only brought my 35mm lens to the actual ceremony. Oh well, it's fine. I took way more pictures during the reception.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from the ceremony:<br />

I took quite a few more pictures at the reception, though. The Professional Photographer left about halfway through, but there were still some things that were fairly significant that they should have gotten.<br />

I had an awesome time, and I figured out a lot about my photography style, too.<br />

The Time when Americans get all hot under the collar with patriotism and they have to cool themselves off by firing off inordinate amounts of highly combustible rockets into the night sky! Fireworks!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So yesterday I went up to St. Joe to chill with a friend and watch their fireworks show (since I'm sure it was more interesting than staying here in Valparaiso). It was my first real attempt at doing some serious shooting of fireworks (I had years and years ago with my little point and shoot at the time, but that doesn't count). There isn't really much to be said about the composition of each photo, and the Exif data is basically the same for theme all (I did switch from f/16 to f/18 about halfway through, though). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was a good exercise in really learning more about low-light photography (which I already talked about in my previous blog post about the moon), and how the aperture really does affect it. I was shooting on the Bulb setting on my D7000, as well, and I could also tell how long I left the shutter open really affected the shots. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One thing that should be said is that there was a pretty good wind coming in from the Lake (Lake Michigan) so that affected it quite a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll start with the pictures of single fireworks that I somehow managed to get:</div>

For some reason the blog format won;t let me put small pictures in the middle here, too, even though there is obviously enough space for them. I even tried manipulating down in the html, but to no avail. Maybe I just need to make my template wider. Probably.<br />

It was probably 103F or so at my house, so I decided that I had to get out of there, at least for a little while. So we drove up to Michigan and chilled with my friend Steve.

Went out with my new lens and took some photos of the full moon, since this is the first time that I have owned such a long lens for a full moon. I also went out on a 6.5 mile long bike ride today, sort of got lost in Valparaiso for a bit, just wandering the streets on my bike. So that was fun. I was wearing my new Lowepro Flipside 400AW camera bag just to test it out. It was remarkably comfortable, even riding pretty quickly on a bike with my large Opteka Monopod strapped to the side. I'll probably do a review for both of those at some point. That and I'll eventually do an in depth review of the good aspects and bad aspects of my 80-200mm f/2.8D, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I took all of these photos with my 80-200mm at about 200mm, with f/11 and 1/250 shutter speed and ISO 200</div>

Then, since it is the 3rd of July, some people started shooting off fireworks near where I was, so I just swung my big lens over on them and kept shooting, though I slowed the shutter speed down quite a bit.<br />

Best two. So yeah. Tomorrow is the 4th of July, and Valparaiso has a pretty good fireworks display for such a small town. So tonight was sort of practice for tomorrow. I also did some location scouting while out on my bike ride (before I got lost, though).<div>

Summerfest!<br />
<br />
So that is where I went this last weekend with a few people. We drove up there on Saturday morning (left here at about 9am or so) to get there by about 3:30 after dropping off stuff at the place where we were going to stay Saturday night.<br />
<br />
We found a great parking spot that only cost us $10 (as opposed to like $30 for any parking in Chicago), and I got these shots on our way to the gate.<br />
(note, all of these pictures were either taken with my point-and-shoot or my phone)<br />

These are both of the Milwaukee Art Museum, which I went to last year before I went to Summerfest. If you are ever in Milwaukee, I would definitely recommend it, its awesome.<br />
<br />
Walked to the gate, went in, paid the exorbitantly awesome price of $16, and just wandered around for a while. Got some food. etc. Watched some random bands which I shall detail herein:<br />
<br />
Band 1: Machines are people Too.<br />

I actually thought that they did pretty well, considering that the main singer looked like he was about 40 with the creeper mustache. It was actually a pretty nice band, all in all. It had a very alternative style without being too hipster.<br />
<br />
Band 2: I don't remember the name of this one. Oh well.<br />

Band 3: Abigail Grey<br />
The main singer was from Scotland, which is always awesome. As well, the band used a violin and a trumpet, instead of just drums and guitars and keyboards.<br />

Band 4: Fresh Cut Collective.<br />
These guys were ALL OVER THE PLACE. They had singers and rappers and dancers and keyboard players and even an Indian/Arab guy rapping. Though some of their songs got really annoying after a little bit, they were genuine entertainers, and that is a good thing.<br />

Tickets for $16.00. Pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. Unfortunately, like a fool, I only brought one battery for my point and shoot, so my battery died like right as they started, so I had to resort to trying to get anything with my phone...<br />
<br />
But I won't subject you to that because they turned out... just awful... Ok, I might do another quick post with a few from that once I hook my phone up to my computer, but just not now.<br />
<br />
Now It is almost the 4th of July! I'll be taking some pictures during the fireworks show tomorrow, and probably posting those the day after.<br />
<br />
So that's all for now.<br />

So we all sat in the dark for about an hour before my boss called it a day.<br />
<br />
I got a couple pictures of the clouds right before it started rain/hail/gale-force wind-ing. These were just exported straight out of Photomechanic, instead of being run through Photoshop to boost the colors a bit (since I'm on my netbook right now, instead of my desktop)<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"> And one of my co-workers looking at the emergency light right by my desk. We were talking for like an hour (like I said earlier) until my boss finally called NIPSCO (Power company) and they said that the power wouldn't be on for a while (apparently the huge power station had an issue because of lightning or something) so my boss let us go. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The 4 mile drive from work to home was very hectic, because apparently people don;t know that when the power is out, a stoplight works as a 4-way stop sign. So there was a 3 car accident on one of the big intersections, which made it take a little longer for me to get home.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Oh well. At least the temperature is down again. It was 103F here yesterday before the huge storms that I wrote about in my last blog. And now its around 68 or so. So I would say that its a win.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I went out shooting with one of my friends because, as the title indicates, we had a severe weather alert for thunderstorms and golf-ball sized hail. Well we didn't get any of that, but it was still fun going out and doing my first real long exposure photoshoot.<br />
<br />
First good shot was basically at sunset over the Engineering building at my School. I should hsve done some sort of HDR effect, but I was running out of time because of the massive storm that was right above me.<br />

So later, after I went back home really quick and grabbed my tripod, we attempted to get some of the lightning, but we were a bit too late (by about 10 minutes or so) to really get any super good shots. It also would have been better to have a wider angle lens than the 35mm that I was using, because it seemed that wherever I was pointed in the sky, the lightning would happen somewhere else. We will try again later, though.<br />

After it was dark we decided to go out to the Universities welcome sign to maybe try to catch some of the last lightning shots (which we didn't) but my friend had the idea to try to spell out "VALPO" on shadows on the sign. We got past V, A, and L, but he couldn't figure out how to get a P easily (since he had surgery a while ago and he couldn't quite move his shoulder that way). But here's a V.</div>

After that I did a couple experiments with car light trails. I really like this first one because of the Semi truck that went by, leaving the higher up tail light trails. I might go somewhere else (try to get a bit higher up) and try again sometime. <br />

And that's all for tonight. I am going to Summerfest in Milwaukee in Saturday, so I might take my camera and try to get some pictures there. But then again maybe I wont want to lug around my DSLR in the 100 degree heat. I'll decide later.<br />
<br />
And that's all for tonight, as I've got work in the morning.<br />
<br />
Later,<br />
