Sisterrrr. : )) [Oh, and I’m back!]
Yeah, I’ve been gone about two weeks. But I’m back now. Hope you all missed me. ; )
I took a few photoshoots since last time I posted, so I’ll try to split it all up into individual posts.
First topic: My sister! She’s so adorable. She always runs to me saying, “MY BUDDY!” ❤
(Did I overexpose here? Yes. Do I like it anyway? Definitely. : ))
I like this too. : )
Sleepyhead. Hehe.
Hawk[eye]
Our neighbors own a hawk, which is pretty cool. I finally got around to photographing her the other day. Wow, it was awesome. : )) I mean, how often do you get to take pictures of a hawk from less then a foot away?
[[There and Back Again]]
Yes, I have emerged from the grave.
Actually, I haven’t quite revived yet. In between a speech and debate tournament [in which my partner and I placed 4th!], college applications, and schoolwork, my free-time this week was more scarce than snow on the equator.
In other words, dear readers, I have failed to keep up my challenge.
I hoped it wouldn’t happen. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
This does NOT mean that I haven’t taken quite a few pictures over the past week. In fact, I have quite a few. So I’ll dump them on you now. : )
I’ll keep on posting here frequently, but I doubt I’ll be able to continue the blog as an official 365 photoblog. Or I could possibly strive to restart in February. Hm, maybe I’ll do just that…
I tried another Christmas lights photo. && I like this one even more. : )
The absolutely fabulous Caroline (and her photos will leave you stunned, no joke)
“Checkmate”
I had fun with long exposure on our road. : ))
…and I like this too.
Panning. At about midnight. Because my creativity was drained.
[[Le deuxième jour]]
So, the sun was going down and I realized I hadn’t done anything artistic today. So I cleaned a mirror, dragged my younger brother outside [who happens to be taller than me now…how’d that happen, again?], and took a few shots. The pictures kind of serve a double-purpose because my photography teacher is requiring portrait shots this week. Except for the fact they all turned out a little bit dark because there was next to no available light, I liked how they turned out. [All photos are SOOC]
And now I have to submit one of them for photography class. Any preferences?
I love how you wouldn’t be able to tell ^that is a self-portrait unless I told you. Like I just did. : P
Ghostliness? || Creepalicious~
Yes, creepalicious happens to one of my favorite non-existent words. Don’t ask me why.
I think it adequately describes this picture.
Anyway, it snowed, and I tried a ghosting effect. It worked okay. I have a hard time getting it to focus on me, and not the background. But I still like how this looks. A little spooky, hm?

Long Exposure/&/Turquoise
Along with beautiful light, I love long exposure pictures when I can get them. This was taken around 9:30-ish PM. I love the brilliant turquoise of the water.
: )
{First Rays of Morning~
Going out of town really gives you the opportunity to take a lot of pictures you might not usually take at home. I managed to get up early enough one morning to get some really beautiful light from the sunrise. Perhaps sunrise/sunset beach scenes are a bit overdone, but I still love the colors and beauty from them. : )
Ah, backlight on the clouds. ❤
W'hello, bird.
I love the silhouette here.
The Dark [K]night
I love playing with light. A whole bunch. This is one of my favorite experimentations with it. I lit a candle, made my little brother put his Batman costume on, and placed him next to the light. I had to set up my tripod for this one, since I was shooting at night. Since it was rather dark out, I had to work with a slower shutter speed and pray that my brother wouldn’t move. : P
Well, he did. But I managed to get at least one really good picture before he lost his concentration.
