Go Shoot With Digital

Archive for the ‘Slideshow’ Category

Over the past few months, I have been taking a digital photography class at my local community college.  My primary goal for this class was to learn how to take better pictures.  After all, the less time that you have to spend “processing” your pictures, the more time you have to get out there and take pictures.

To that end, I think that the class was a success for me.  The other benefit that I received was to meet some great people from a wide cross section of society.  And during the class, we all received both positive and constructive feedback on our assignments.  Our final assignment was to take at least 10 photographs that related to a theme, and present them.  This is my final project presentation.

“Paths – and those we meet along the way”

From the time we are born, our life is a series of small journeys that become the one long journey of our life.  Sometimes the path that we take is easy to follow, sometimes it is not.  When we have to make a decision, sometimes the way is clear, other times it is not and can be quite confusing to try to make a choice.  When the decisions become difficult, we can gain a new perspective, or we can turn to our friends to help out.  And speaking of friends, along this journey of ours, we meet others along the way.  They may become friends, enemies, or even frenemies.  In any event they become a part of your journey, and they help to shape who you become.  Everyone’s pace is going to be different, and everyone’s destination may be different, but you can always take a break and relax as you go along your chosen path.

These are all concepts that you should be able to see in these images.  Enjoy.

Moved the video file over to YouTube due to changes to the Virb site.

On July 18, 2009, I participated in the 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk organized by Scott Kelby. I participated last year as well, but here I am presenting some of my photos from the 2009 walk. The gallery that I am using here is provided by PhotoSnack, and I will write a review of that a little later. In the meantime, enjoy the show.

This selection of photos were taken on June 25th, 2009 at Walt Disney World Florida’s Animal Kingdom theme park.

On June 24th, 2009, I journeyed a few miles south to visit McKee Botanical Garden. Some of the highlights of the garden include the World’s Largest Mahogany Table, a grove of Royal Palms, and a structure made of bamboo. In fact, according to materials at the garden, the bamboo hut was one of the first bamboo structures to require a building permit.
