--cypress college--

this assignment was for available light class. we had to walk around campus and find natural situations where light illuminates a subject in a certain way. i spent an evening wandering around exploring and seeing what i could dig up. here are a few places that i found-----

inside the theatre on campus--looking up at the ceiling


the drinking fountain outside of the
theatre entrance in the lobby



the tall...monument...statue looking...thing
in between the bookstore and the administration buildings


the ceiling inside the lobby of the theatre.
the street lights cast a squiggly glow which gave it a cool effect


here is a different drinking fountain inside the same
theatre lobby---but i took this picture because of the
many spot lights that were placed in the ceiling---which
cast some very dramatic light---


and here is the same tall...monument...statue thing
on the edge of campus---at night---

~~~~~~puffy clouds~~~~~~

This is a picture of Heart lake---on the road of many lakes---to reach the final destination of Gem Lake.These lakes are a part of the Ansel Adams Wilderness near Yosemite National Park. I have now hiked this trail twice and both times there has always been a new beauty along the way.I love photographing nature in its glory. It is such a huge reminder of how vast and beautiful our world is and Who created it all. Whenever I feel uninspired or burned out in photography, I go and photograph nature. -----It takes my breath away-----

this was the second day of my wedding class at cypress college. today we were learning and refreshing some basic camera functions. everyone is class was supposed to bring their cameras so that we could just mess around and get hands on with our own equipment. it was a good refresher course for me. i had more fun though taking pictures of everyone else instead of the white board------------------------------------



i also got some funny faces too!
hi raul!


the room was segregated between canon and nikon so that we could help each other.
i was on the canon side-------with my wonderful 50D


we had lots of fun--------find out what we did the next week-----stay tuned!
