spend a day taking photos of my city

Okay this was fun. I took the day to walk around town taking picutes of my favorite places to upload to the 43 places site. Everyone was getting ready for graduation so there was a lot of activity on campus. A lot of people were taking pictures so I wasn’t self-conscious about snapping away. Whoo-hoo. I’ve completed one of my goals.

This sounds like a wonderful idea. I have taken a lot of shots of my town and the historical markers but never really organized them. I think this would be a great way to spend my next day off.

Wow, I just realised: I’m going on a school trip tomorrow, for photography..
this will conveniently force me to acheive this goal! :D

(thats good, cause I completely forgot I wanted to do this.)

to take photos of is the downtown area and my house! :P

Took black & white film pictures at dusk in the park tonight; I hope the ones of the pool reflections and the rose briar came out decently.

Finished the first roll of film today. I can’t wait to see the results!

a couple of days ago, a group of flickrites took a little walk through the abandoned train station and other places and took many photos. it was fun.

i took both my cameras, the 35mm one and the digital one.
i haven’t developed the film yet, cause i’d like to try and do two at once (my tank holds two) and i haven’t had a chance to go out again. i also need some supplies since my last film were a bit…spotted. probably cause i don’t have an actual stop bath for the developer or something like that, but i found a solution.

This is a fun goal, and I’ll probably end up doing it at some point this semester, since I’m going through at least 30 rolls of film in my photography class…

a great idea to appreciate and learn more about my city

To mark my last day of official day of freedom before the new semester starts I set aside a block of time to focus on this much cheered goal on my list. Arriving in the CBD my plans were nearly thwarted when I turned on my camera only to be greeted with the ominous message “Card Not Initialized”. Luckily a reformat of the card resolved the problem and I began to happily snap pictures of all those sights that I normally breeze by in a hurry to reach my destination.

At first I was concerned that I hadn’t put much effort into planning my excursion. But I quickly relaxed and decided to just wander and devote my attentions to what ever peeked my interest.

I often find huge sprawling cityscapes a challenge to photograph but today I viewed it as an opportunity to practice with my camera’s ample features. By the end of the day I felt I had developed an improved kinship with the many functions and I was intuitively adjusting the settings without much conscious thought. I still have much to learn but todays outing has evoked a new enthusiasm towards photography.
