Finally I did some editing

Here are some photos from the Abney wedding. I was actually in the wedding party so I wasn't able to get any photos during the wedding (or many while we were getting ready), but here are a few that I was able to get.

To view the slideshow please go here.

Please enjoy:)

Photo editing

I wish I could edit photos all day long:)

The photos of the baby that I have been uploading are from this tummy.

I am not in love with this photo, but I am beginning to really enjoy it.

Rain day

It's raining today..

I need to take photos..

This is from about a month ago on my cameraphone. I was walking back from lunch and looked up to see this skyrise of fire escapes. It caught my attention.

Not my new apartment


Reception, originally uploaded by lilwilli.

I think I assumed that after I moved my first photo posted would be of my new apt. This is not my new apartment;-)

I was hired (at my present job) to photograph our company 5th anniversary party. I was thrilled to be asked, considering I have only been here a little over a month (and they were going to pay me). As soon as I realized these photos were not just going to be for friends of mine, I started to freak out a bit. I have never been able to take successful flash photographs, and I knew I was going to HAVE to for this event.

I began reading all things flash (besides strobist because I do not have an off camera flash system). I needed to know how to light appropriately with my on-camera flash. It's always been so frustrating to me that the photo looks flat, blown out, or some other form of ugliness. Finally I found this site http://planetneil.com/tangents/ where he gives a great over view on how to do on-camera flash lighting(fill lighting) while including ambient light.

Basically, it helped me understand what I was doing wrong. I think I was able to take some decent shots at the party. This is one of them. This was an orchid wall that was glued to the glass reception area. I like this photo mostly because you cannot really tell whether what you are looking at is a reflection or whether it is actually there.

~here you go T~ thanks! :)

Oh how I wish...


Sleepy Weekend, originally uploaded by lilwilli.

Sometimes I wish I were a pet, so that I could sleep all day and just wander aimlessly. But I'm not, so I have to figure out how to capture that... carefree-ness(?)

Here is dear ol' Buddy sleeping his weekend away. I think I will be forever obsessed with this pooch:)

Relax


Down, originally uploaded by lilwilli.

I needed to do some relaxing this weekend, because my life has been a little crazy..

This is a glass of wine, on a striped coaster, on a glass table that has a metal grid below it. I thought the pattern was eye catching and I loved how the coaster looked swirled under the glass of wine. It made me smile:)

Here's to editing

I have meant to work on these images for a very long time. I have finally gotten around to them. I wish for two things:
1) I get better at editing photos more quickly.
2) I get better at editing.

I feel like I keep doing the same things to all of my photos. I feel like I need to be... more inventive? Maybe I'm wrong.. Here's B&W for now:)

Let me know what you think:)
