Mid Week blog update.

Yesterday I encountered a terrible pain to my back. I tore a muscle in my back so it kinda sucks. So today I was at the Kroc Center (I couldn't do anything cause I was in terrible pain) but I sat there working on photos. Oh yeah, the Kroc Center is super LEGIT. But anyways I want to keep this blog updated regularly so I'm working on photos quite a bit. I have been doing new stuff with photos because I can't really take photos of snowboarding/skiing and I'm not getting down to the skatepark. So I have been taking still life and what not. I took this today:

What I did is changed the vibrance levels all the way down and desaturated it for one photo. Then on the other photo Made the green very vibrant and clear putting an unsharp mask on it. Merging them together with a layer mask, I made it. What was cool about this photo is that all that stuff, the handcuffs (I'm not a creep don't worry about it) the scissors and the watch were just laying there on my window seal so it was just flat out random.

ƒ/ 5.6 ISO100 1/60

Now to another:

I didn't do a whole lot to this photo, just typical editing. I was super bored today and had a lot of time on my hands so I was just taking photos of random stuff. This leaf is pretty cool I guess you could say.

Well thanks everyone who reads,

Almost the weekend. . .

So I was mowing the lawn and I looked up and bam! there was this cool looking photo just waiting to be taken. I shut off the lawn mower, ran inside, grabbed my camera and took this:

So by the time I was done mowing, I had my camera around my neck. I jumped on my boardskate and took this:

Schweitzer May 9th.

Yeah, I know. You thought snowboarding/skiing was over. Well you are WRONG. Ah yeah May 9th and we can still ride. Not a big deal or anything. It was a ton of fun up there, having a BBQ and hittin' rails. OH yeah. There are these shots of some of my buds hitting this bonk, but only a few look good because nobody would hit it when the sun was out.

So anyways, this week I will hopefully have a post but if not, its cause i'm going to be working a lot so it is going to be difficult to find time to do stuff.
Alright thanks homies,

Late night trampolines, road trips and birthday cakes

Who knows what 16 hours of driving equals? I do, it equals crappy week. I have been so drained this week. Swamped with homework is nothing fun. I'm sleep deprived. Let's start in order, first the road trip down to Cali for my great grandmothers funeral. That was kinda fun to see family. I got a new MacBook. Pretty stoked. While I was down there I didn't get any good photos :(

The light night Tramp Sesh. . .

Here we have a good model, Jackson Helgren:

Again:

Yeah so those are cool eh? I just used a big construction light for both

these and a flash and shot at f/ 4.5

Thanks,
