Photographing People

I started practicing photographing people today. It is definitely a lot harder to compose a good shot using people versus doing landscapes. I feel like I have mastered landscapes, so now I'm going to move on to taking snapshots of people. It'll be a big learning experience but I'm all for it!

got married today

So Queen and I finally got married today. It was a really small event. Prophet, Lawrence, and Yuritzi were the only guests there. It was perfect, no headaches that come with a big wedding and the price was great ($100 for the license).

We were bored waiting for them to call us up so we took these pictures with our phones.

Later I photoshop'd it and made it a little nicer.

This took me probably 5 min per picture. I think if i spent more time on it I could have made it look really good, but it just goes to show you how much of a difference Photoshop can add. Remember these were from camera phones.

A lot of people ask me what type of camera I have, after looking at some of my photos. It turns out that I have a point and shoot, Canon SD1000. It just so happens that I have exploited all of its manual features in order to take some stunning photos. I want to prove to people out there that you don't need a fancy SLR to take great pictures. In fact, some people with fancy SLR cameras take some horrible pictures. It's not very nice to say but it can be true sometimes. The only draw back to point and shoot is that I can't print anything bigger than 11x14 with my current camera. Oh well.
