Even though I wont be at the beach this weekend, I still have quite a few things to be grateful for…
So one night a bunch of us decided to drive down to Davenport and shoot the stars and watch the moonset. It’s so fun to shoot with other photographers. You really get to step out of your comfort zone.
I’m glad A.D. Wheeler was there because he so nice to help everyone out with their night shots. He sacrificed so much of his time walking back and forth making sure everyone had laser focus and their settings were correct. I’ve always admired Beau Rogers‘ night images. By the the end of the night, I some how made my way next to him and really enjoyed just standing there and talking to him about night shooting. He even let me borrow his lens which was super awesome because the lens that I had was definitely not fast enough to capture all these stars. In all, I’m super grateful for the Arcanum or else I would of never met these awesome guys or any of the other talented photographers I was with in San Francisco.
Woah! This post turned into a mush fest real quick. Sorry about that.
Spent a few days in Camano Island while visiting Washington State. It’s a beautiful little island right off the coast. This was taken during a break in the rain.
I bet you didn’t know I’m a certified scuba diver. Yup! Andrew and I got certified right before we left for this trip. We had gone scuba diving a few times before this trip and every time we had to go through that introductory class and it’s always the same information plus it’s kinda boring. So we took the plunge and became certified!
I took these with my little canon point and shoot camera. I don’t even remember what it was called but I do remember getting the underwater housing from Amazon. It was this cute house that was mostly clear but had teal blue buttons all over 🙂
HOLY MOLY! I feel like I hit the jackpot. The other day I was going through some old images trying to look for a particular one when I found a folder labeled “Thailand 2009”. An instant smile went on my face as soon as I opened the folder.
In 2009, Andrew and I went to visit his sister, Audrey, who had just joined the Peace Corp in Thailand. It was an amazing trip from Chiang Mai, Bangkok to Phuket. I thought it would be fun to share some of the images with you. Mind you that this was pre-Angela B. Pan Photography days. All these were shot for fun but for all you photographers out there- they were shot in automatic and jpg 🙁
Taken at Wat Pho in Bangkok with my fish eye lens. Whatever happened to that thing? I completely forgot I had one until now.
I love that I was look at alternate perspectives of this temple.
This baby elephant is probably the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
I remember taking this picture. We were on a river taxi waiting for some people to get on and off the boat by our hotel. I remember thinking, “oh cool, I can use this for my scrapbook” HAHA
And an amazing cliff in Southern Thailand.
How awesome is that! I loved look at these images again. It bought back so many fun memories. But theres still more to come tomorrow. Part II of Thailand.
Let me know in the comments. Did you like this post? Would you be interested in seeing more of my older images (pre-Angela B Pan Photography days?).
As you’re reading this, I’m on my way to Zion National Park! So excited to check out Utah. My first time ever.
Not sure what this image has anything to do with Zion, but I liked it anyways 🙂
