Project 50 - Week 4 - Abrupt Change

Project 50 - Week 4
Concept - Flying High Sunny Day

Due to circumstances beyond our control (epic accident on highway causing major delay getting back home), I was unable to take the remaining pictures of the Berkeley Kite Festival today.  As such, I don't feel I have enough suitable photos to make a project, so on to Alternate Project #1, Sunny Day!  This is a collection of shots of a remarkably happy sunflower hanging our at my mother's house. 

Not quite kites, I know, but I still think quite a few of these shots came out well.  I tried to get some fish-eye shots (note: When using a fish-eye, be careful of your fingers!) as well, but the lens is totally manual and I have still not quite mastered it! 

Enjoy! 

(photos will also be posted to anttree.org site within a day or two).

Project 50 - Week 4
Concept - Flying High


This weeks project was put "on-hold" until Saturday, because I wasn't exactly sure of my plans.  My main project, which now seems to be coming out okay, was to take pictures of the Berkeley Kite Festival. Of course, one of the main factors to that was weather - we here in CA have been having a strange summer (fog, really cold, and even some rain!).  Today was, happily, a really nice day so that worked out perfectly.  I did have some back-up projects in case the weather wasn't going to cooperate, but now I can use those another time!  The project won't be completed until Sunday evening, so I'll be editing photos right up to the line! 

Secondly, we are in the middle of a move!  We are leaving our happy little apartment and actually moving into a real house.  Artistically, there are some great benefits to this move, including: We will have a dedicated art/crafts room (which means more craft projects here) and I'll have a dedicated photo studio!

Thank you all for sticking in there and I hope you enjoy this weeks photos!
