Resolutions

This blog was started as a resolution--to become a better photographer. I usually make other resolutions, although the resolve doesn't always follow. I make resolutions at random points during the year, rather than in January. One consistent theme is to get to the gym more. Not because I need to lose weight (although I wouldn't be upset if that was to happen as a result), but because I know it's good for me. But, ya see, there are only so many hours in a day, and today, I had to live vicariously through my pictures. These are brand new sneakers I bought in November that just saw daylight today. Sigh. There's always tomorrow! ;)

Tech info: Rebel XT, 50mm, 1/125, f/1.8, 100 ISO, flash.

And as a special treat, here's an assignment on aperature I did for a class on 2Ps. So much fun! The little snail in front is from a trip to Germany a few years ago and my famous duckie makes another cameo. I took these on my kitchen table (you can even see my toothbrush holder that hasn't been put back in its place after a weekend trip! Talk about sharp! Guess that means I have to clean my table off! lol) Full manual, ISO 100, 1/125, diffused flash, aperature on each pic. CC welcome! (And I even got to make a storyboard with them!!!)

(If you click the pic, it will take you to a super-sized version, where you can really see the differences!)

Thanks again for all the comments. I read them all and I really do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
