Fisheye & Stormy Skies

It's very gloomy in my hometown.  The kind of gloomy that makes you want to take eerie photos and eat soup.  I feel like a little sunshine could turn everything around.
Have my fellow hobby photographers out there played around with fisheye lenses? Not always flattering for people, but it can make for some really unique landscapes...or super creepy stairwells.
There is something about the combination of the fisheye and black and white that I really, really love.  Shooting these made me really miss shooting with black and white film, and hanging out in dark rooms.
I have been sick lately, so my time has been filled with becoming overly emotionally invested in  mediocre independent movies on Netflix, tawdry television, and taking an egregious amount of naps. Therefore, I have nothing interesting to say. I am hoping that the pictures themselves will pass for interesting.
This is my go to song, whenever the weather takes a turn for the worst and I start to feel restless.  I hope things turn around post-haste.

Landscape Photography

I have been in love with photography for several years now.  Many people prefer portrait, but I truly feel that landscape photography is my thing.  Every time I go on a vacation, I am completely seduced by the landscapes and absolutely love capturing them in photos.  Most recently, I went to Florida with my family for Christmas!  Here are a few of my favorite photos.



Another nice thing about landscape, is that the trees don't get mad at you if your picture makes them look fat.  You are your only critic.  It is difficult to please others with pictures of them, but the flaws in nature happen to be the most beautiful things you can capture.



My favorite thing to capture is light.  It can be difficult because it will literally change in a split second.  My camera usually yells at me for overexposure, but I can't help it.  I love the look. 





They love their golf carts in Florida, always getting in the way. :)  I love that little pocket of happiness tucked in there in the last one.  It's like a secret I found.  Anyway, hope you enjoyed.  All photos belong to me and yada yada yada.
