Day 104 - So Many Clones

Clone pictures, as many already probably know, are one of my favorite photoshop things to do. Whats even better is that it also seems to be my friends favorite thing to do when we are bored on any particular day and I have my tripod with me. So courtesy of Matt, TJ and Matt we have today's photo of them going bananas on the jungle gym just near Matts house. Enjoy!

Day 103 - Friendswood LAX

I went out and photographed Friendswood lacrosse today. I am going to go ahead and be honest, I have never seen and/or payed attention to anything lacrosse. So when I went out to try and shoot the game today I really had no idea what was going on at all. The game is very fast paced and really reminds me of a combination of hockey, soccer and football all scrambled up into one.

Photographing it is a different story too, since I did not know what was happening I really was not sure what action I should be catching. So I went very cliché and just did a face off photo for todays game. Even though I really had no idea what I was photographing, it was still fun to experience and try out a new sport. I mean, thats why I am doing all this isn't it? To learn?

Day 101 - Galveston County Fair

Today my sister competed in a pig show with her pig Arnold. She finished in 6th place of her group and that is good enough to enter him in an auction for scholarship money.

Besides it being full of carnies and hillbillies the entire fair was not exactly photographer friendly. There were tons of people to fight for a spot and the lighting was just plain awful. The mix of blue and white lights is definitely not my ideal lighting setup.

Day 100 - Ladybird Gardens

Photo 100...YAY. I have officially hit he triple digits. Only have 265 more to go and that is still a long ways of way. Overall I think it is still going very well and I cant wait to see what pictures come in the future. Today is a picture from Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center and I can tell you that I was not the only photographer there. I took many HDRs that I can not wait to get uploaded to my PC back home in Houston, just so I can see how they turned out.

I hope everybody has enjoyed the first 100 pictures and that you keep enjoying them as they keep coming.

What eye do you photograph with?

I was browsing around my favorite photo blogs when an article caught my eye. What eye do you use to look through your view finder in order to take a photograph? Well according to Digital Photography School, a majority of their readers use their right eye apposed to using their left. They surveyed over 13,000 of their readers (one of which was me!) and a whopping 57% said that they use their right eye to photograph, while only 37% used their left eye, and 7% were prone to using both.

Now for myself, I actually use my left eye a good 99.9% of the time when I am photographing. Once I really got to thinking about it, I thought in my head that it would be my right. I am right handed at just about everything I do, the few times I shot a gun it was aimed using my right eye, but with photography my left seems to have taken over.

Now with sports, especially fast paced ones such as football, I will actually keep both eyes open. My left will be going through the viewfinder, while my right is looking around to make sure I am not about to get ran over.

What do you think about all this? Are you with the majority and photograph with your right eye or are you in the minority and use just the left? Let me know I am very curious to see what other people think of this.

Day 93 - The B's

Catherine is in town and over at her parents house they have these beautiful Blue Bonnets growing outside. So while over there today I decided to bring my camera and capture a few of these. I had no idea that Blue Bonnets were such a bee favorite. They were all over and made out for some great photos as well.
