Orchids

I photographed my grandmother's orchids this past weekend while I was playing with my camera before a family function.

Photographing flowers (and anything in general, I suppose) is harder than it looks. A lot of times to get the color, composition, metering & clean/crisp look requires a lot of skill and a very well trained eye. Not everyone can be a photographer, even for flowers.

Good thing practice is continuous and I have a shutter clicking happy finger, right?

Sophomore finale

As my second full year of college is rapidly drawing to a close, I'm getting a chance to look back and reflect over the semester. One of the highlights of my semester was being the baseball photographer for my College team. Last Saturday was their season finale, which they played in the home of the Staten Island Yankees (the Class A Short Season Affiliate for the New York Yankees).

I know the guys loved the opportunity to play in a Minor League Baseball stadium and I loved having the opportunity to photograph it. Hopefully there'll be more chances in the future. Here's a few of my favorites from the game. (I had a tripod, place to photograph and everything! No, it's nothing to really get excited about, but normally where the team plays I have to shoot through a fence, so hence my excitement at the legitimacy of the Richmond Bank County Ballpark. :D)
