photodump!2012

To be honest my laptop's hard disk died halfway through the year, so I don't have many things left except for the stuff I backed up.

...anyway I put these up on Facebook. :)

THE ECLIPSE

I actually never thought I'd post here again, but for some strange reason I automatically thought of this blog when trying to decide if/how to upload eclipse photos. I can in no way guarantee that I will continue updating this, but there you go. :)

More Photography

These images were made using pixlr-o-matic, something I discovered a while back and obsessively fed my phone's pictures through. It didn't take me long to discover that a bad picture would look better with a vignette, but it still didn't make the picture good.



So by now it's pretty obvious that I like to take photos of things.

More specifically, I like how photography can make you see things that you don't usually see, like the stars or the rest of the moon. It's easier to make pictures of these things and have them be attractive, since 1. people don't usually see them. and 2. they're naturally pretty. But I like best those photographs of ordinary things that force you to notice them. That's probably why I like the top photograph; it's a little plant growing at the window above the staircase from the hall to the canteen. I noticed it growing for more than half a year before I decided to take a picture of it. The bottom photograph is of Uncle Jack, who was untying the flagpole under the heavy rain.

I took this today! It looked really nice in the sky. It took me more than a dozen tries to get this picture, and it's still blur! I didn't have the time to get a sharp picture, though.

On a side note, I'm proud of the fact that I can (passably) use my camera in the dark!

Photo Dump (I)

I have taken too many pictures to post all at once so I'll be posting some of them in (large) chunks. Here are some photos from last year. You can click on the images for a better view :D
