landscapes [utah 4]

abstracts [utah 3]

i used a technique called panning with this, which is intentionally moving the camera as the picture is being taken. i loved the orange glow it gave to the bee's wings.

-aspen tree-
the camera was panned in a semicircle as this picture was being taken.

-metal trashcan-
;D

-flowers-
this picture was taken as the camera was panned sideways.

sillhouettes and sunsets [utah 2]

reflections [utah 1]

i just arrived home from a photography workshop in Utah. it's incredible how much i learned in 4 days. haha. not sure if i improved at all, but i definitely learned stuff. i'm going to be posting several rounds of my pictures from Utah, and this first one is themed around reflections.

@ the beach

so... last week i got to go to VA beach and take some long exposure beach pictures on the boardwalk. :D

~pinwheels for sale~

~the binoculars~

~skyline at night~

~the pier and the golden sand and the gorgeous blue waves~
:D

cold-blooded.

las libélulas [yeah... i don't know what's up with the spanish titles recently.]

so. in the middle of studying for my chem final yesterday, i saw these dragonflies on the holly bush outside our window. what i appreciate about homeschooling is that i could take a 15-minute break to go photograph them. :D

there were about 4 of them...

and they were all this gorgeous electric blue color. ^^

and apparently they were out there hunting because this one flew off and came back a second later with a white moth in its mouth. it proceeded to chew it up. and swallow it.
