thursday nights usually consist of this

temple time

(definitely googled this guy, not my photo)

and editing my photography assignments for class tomorrow.

this weeks assignment = 4 photos of the same person in 1

(you should click on it, it looks cooler big)

it was a bit tricky but i think it was a success

(thanks to nicole for always being my subject/model)

do you want to see other photo assignments from this semester? 

oh you don't? 

 i'm going to show you anyway, my mom will like it.

imitate a photographers work:

the original

aaaand my imitation

imitate the photographer's "style":

(thanks midway)

panoramic hdr:

(hdr = high dynamic range)

don't really love anything that happens there, 

but i thought it would mix things up to do something other than a sunset

(it looks so dumb small! i gotta get a new blog design)

welp that is it! haha

this semester has been pretty rad, we just go on field trips and have fancy photographers come talk to us.

if you go to uv, you should take it.

but anyway. speaking of utah lake.

it looked GREAT today. left side still ice, right side melt fest.

you should go.

p.s. nicole really is a model.

haha.

three fist pumps for Christmas!

(and this tender mormon message) 

edit.

as i edited some things for my photography class this morning i came across this lovely christmas album. 

if you haven't heard it yet, you should check it out. 

(i just listened to it on grooveshark if you don't feel like buying it)

it is so so great! definitely saved the morning.

(and whoever put sara and ingrid together for a christmas song is genius!) 

 

back to the photography class, it is a nice time but i'm somewhat retarded at photoshop. i haven't used it for years, hence editing all morning. 

but here is what i worked on:

 panorama: before and after

(don't worry it is just 18 photos stitched together..maybe i got a little carried away?)

 ..this would be my "advertisement" haha. 

i don't really think commercial photography is my thing 

(especially how the picture i took for this was the sunglasses, not the snowboarders)

anyway..

i hope you enjoy listening (or already do enjoy listening) to that fab christmas alb. 

happy friday!
