280/365: Busy Day

Today I had the camera out quite a bit. I shot portraits for Cowboy Journal, Res Life and for the parents association. I also just carried it around for a little while around campus.

Through all the photos I had to select a couple for the daily blog, so I went with two tonight. One from walking around campus, and a group photo of the Cowboy Journal staff.

The one from walking around was of the Bennett Chapel. It’s a beautiful building that I’ve never had any luck shooting. It’s a wonderful piece of architecture, but it just isn’t in a great place to take photos.

Tonight when I walked up on it and the Malaysian drum group was practing, I just knew I had to get a photo. The blue hour was in full swing, and so I braced myself as steady as I could and snapped away.

Before that I took shots of the Cowboy Journal group, actually way before that. I shot them this morning at around 8:30 in the morning. I got single photos of each one, and then headed to the library for some group photos.

I had forgot my radio triggers, so I put the flash on camera, and then extended a light stand and an umbrella in front of the camera. I got it as close to the flash and myself as I could.

Not ideal, but it worked!

GO Pokes!

46/365: The Grand Prize

I picked this up yesterday, and after all the days and all the hours of hard work I finally have that piece of paper to prove it.

I know this single piece of paper doesn’t mean much in it’s own, but it shows a crap tone of sweat, tears and plain ol’ hard work. I’m glad that I finally got it, it only took about two months after graduation to finally get to hold it in my hands.

I don’t have too much to say tonight, but I hope you enjoy looking at this as much as I do.

 

Have a great Wednesday,

 

Mitch
