Kemah. December 2009.

Kemah Boardwalk, December 2009

Kemah Dock, December 2009

For a couple of weeks we had very heavy fog and I was out walking the Kemah Boardwalk with a friend and I saw the dock with the bright light and hoped and prayed I'd make it back there with my camera while we still had fog. Lucky me! I definitely did. It was drizzly and raining so I had to shelter my camera during these shots, but it was worth it.

Tower Light, December 2009

I am currently working in Downtown Houston in Fulbright Tower, one of the tallest high rise buildings in Houston, Texas. I have worked there for about a month now and I finally got a tour of the building and was taken up to the roof. It is 52 stories from the ground. I was very excited to see Houston from a perspective I had not before. As a child I was taken to the 51st floor of the Transco (Now 'Williams') Tower but it wasn't the same. This time I was on the roof and had a 360 degree view of the city. I hope to go up there at night some time to get some beautiful night photography shots. These images I have taken were with a 50mm lens with a polarized filter. I played around with the color and contrast. I definitely enjoy taking panoramics.

I am absolutely loving this Drive By Shooting project I've started. I am now using a polarized filter and it's giving me the colors I felt were lacking in Part I. I am going to keep doing this because it is so much fun and I personally love the results I am getting. Let me know what you think.

League City. October 2009










These are just random photos that I have taken in that last month or so. They're fun I guess :)

Drive By Shooting. November 2009.











This is something new I am trying. I like to go riding with my sister and while she drives I photograph things out the windows and let the movement of the car 'paint' a picture. I adjust the exposure according to the lighting. I typically use a slower shutter to influence the movement more. The color in the original images is so much more rich and vibrant. It is starting to really perturb me that the colors just aren't turning out right. I'd like some honest feed back about these, but be gentle.

Galveston. November 2009

























My sister and I went to Galveston today on a whim. I played around with color a lot in photoshop, unfortunately the blog site doesn't seem to work with my color adjustments. Enjoy :)
