Hello all! I haven't posted, or shot anything, in quite a long time. I figured that it's finally sharing time.

| Attempt @ Capturing Water Drops |
[Dec. 14th, 2009|04:23 pm] |

As I am new to the Digital SLR world, I purchased a book explaining in detail all that my camera is capable of doing. I did some practice today capturing water drops. My all time favorite. Buddy came in the picture shortly afterwards and I decided to make him my subject after I got my shot lol. My first manual camera was a film Nikon FM10. I am excited that the results I got reminded me of shots I used to get on my film camera. I can't believe digital cameras have now become so very similar to film cameras, but I will always enjoy film photography for a hobby because developing the photos was always the fun part!

Saturday was our annual Santa Speedo Sprint -- it was 30'F -- raising $13,000 for the Albany Damien Center, an AIDS organization. This is a shot of some members of the Albany Society for the Advancement of Philanthropy, the group that did the majority of organization of the event. Click through to flickr for bigger sizes and more photos, I have five up for now but will be updating as I process more (I took 230 for the day).

| dealing with others and surgery question |
[Dec. 14th, 2009|11:18 am] |
I haven't had my surgery yet! 16 more days and I can't wait! I am so tired of living in this body......Last night I was crushed when a very old dear friend said, "Where did you get your bigness from?" Your parent's weren't big people.....
Wow, that's nice..........lol I know some people don't think before the speak but that kinda hurt. My mother in law added her two cents and said, "She cooks good, did you see how fat my son is now?" He isn't over weight AT ALL.....He hasn't gained very much weight in the last 16 years of us being together.
I guess people just never stop to think that maybe you have a health problem and that's why you gained a lot of weight?? It's not always food that makes a person bigger you know??
Now on to my question.
I hadn't planned on telling anyone about my surgery but since I will be starting a liquid diet on Christmas Eve my husband felt that he should tell his parent's because they wouldn't understand why I couldn't eat and make a big deal about it....I wasn't there with him when he told them. And I haven't spoken out about it personally to them. But last night we were having dinner with them and I noticed several times that they were really watching the way I was eating and what I was eating.
How do you deal with that?? Just ignore it???
I am kinda worried that they are going to become the food police and I don't want that!

Not a holiday themed one, but it is the most recent photo I directed. To quote Kyle, "rock the goggles"!

I'm officially just overweight and no longer obese. Woooop.
Also, after doing my measurements last night (kept forgetting to do em, should have done them on the 5th but too much life crap going on lately) the MOST amazing thing to me is that I've lost 10 inches in each THIGH. WTF. Holding the measuring tape out to my beginning leg measurement I seriously can no longer even remotely remember being that large.
I've lost:
8 inches in my chest
10 inches in my waist
14 inches in my hips
6 inches in each upper arm
2 inches in each forearm
10 inches in each thigh
4 inches in each calf
7 months out and only 30 lbs to go...feels like the last 30 will take me a while though, only like 5 lbs per month at this point.
Also, a friend of mine who I met a couple years ago just moved back to the states earlier this year (so I don't get to see her anymore :( I'm in Canada). Because of seeing my progress and hearing my struggles and successes, she has gotten financing and is self-paying for VGB and is getting it done this Thursday! I am very excited for her :)

| Новый фотоконкурс!! |
[Dec. 14th, 2009|12:46 pm] |
Зима. Декабрь. За окном то ли едва рассвело, то ли уже темнеет. Низкое печальное небо. Холодный ветер пробирает насквозь, а снежные хлопья так и норовят просочиться за шиворот. Впереди три бесконечных унылых месяца серости, внезапных морозов и безнадежной слякоти большого города…
Безрадостная картинка, не правда ли?
А теперь, посмотрите вот это
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW6g4c9zxYo
Именно в этом году мы предлагаем вам немного отложить зимнюю спячку. Мы предлагаем вместе с нами поискать недостающие лучики света в улыбках наших близких, любимых, друзей, знакомых, коллег, начальников и просто случайных прохожих. В улыбках открытых, смущенных, влюбленных, легких, ассиметричных, с прищуром, с чуть заметным наклоном головы…
Любой фотограф не понаслышке знает, насколько неестественными могут выглядеть люди в попытке обеспечить хороший кадр. Стандартные призывы «Расслабься! Будь естественным!» в большинстве случаев действуют угнетающе. Очень и очень немногие фотохудожники обладают талантом ловить по-настоящему искренние улыбки! И дело даже не в том, чтобы в нужный момент подкрасться и нажать на кнопку. Умение, о котором мы говорим, нельзя разложить по полочкам и превратить в набор рекомендаций. Оно – почти как дар свыше. А всему остальному мы можем вас научить.
Итак, мы объявляем любительский фотоконкурс на самую солнечную улыбку!
Сроки проведения: 15 декабря 2009 г. - 15 января 2010 г.
Подведение итогов: 23 января на сайте Фотошколы http://photo-curs.ru/
Для участия: достаточно разместить фотографию с улыбкой в Живом Журнале Фотошколы http://photo-classs.livejournal.com/ в комментариях первого уровня. Чужие фотографии использовать запрещается.
Голосование: чтобы отметить фотоработу, добавьте к ней комментарий любого содержания. Голосовать можно за несколько конкурсных фотографий, но за каждую - лишь один раз. Комментарии 4-го уровня, а также голоса пользователей-однодневок не засчитываются.
Реклама и самоPR: всячески приветствуются!
Главный приз: именной сертификат на бесплатное обучение в Фотошколе на курсе цифровой фотографии для начинающих. Действителен в течение года.
Специальный приз: будет присужден по выбору учителей Фотошколы.
Все подробности на нашей странице http://photo-classs.livejournal.com/
Дерзайте – и возможно удача улыбнется именно вам! |
