Picture-a-Day: Day 10

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I forgot to post yesterdays picture of the Bear Markings on the Tree to the flickr groups, so I did it this morning. People didn’t really like it because they couldn’t figure out what it was. Oh well. On to today’s picture, which is yet another shot of Half Dome…
Day 10:

When we started the day [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 9

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I didn’t bother posting yesterdays picture to Flickr groups because I wasn’t all that excited about it. It’s a nice picture, but it’s similar to the 892374923847 other ones I took. I went through all my Yosemite pictures last night and almost all of them are of Half Dome. While Half Dome is nice to [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 8

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Since I’ve gotten a couple of emails I thought I’d start off today by saying that both my grandmother and my mother are doing well. My grandfather mentioned that my grandmother had a really good day the other day, so things are good on that front. My mother, on the other hand, shattered one of [...]

Photoblog

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Just wanted to announce that I’ve created a Photoblog to post my favorite pictures. I wanted a place to put all the pictures that I have taken that I really like, and I just don’t like Flickr’s UI. I like Flickr because you can get some great comments, but it doesn’t cut it for displaying [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 7

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Yesterday was quite the exciting (if you can call it that) or better yet… interesting day. I woke up at 4:30am EST (1:30am PST) for my 7am flight from JFK back to SFO. My dad walked in when I woke up to inform me that my grandmother (who had been in the hospital the night [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 6

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

The picture I posted yesterday got some mixed reviews. Most people liked it but it isn’t anything new or special — just another waterfall picture. I think it came out ok but I too wasn’t absolutely enamored with it. It was a pretty hard shot to get and made worse by the fact that I [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 5

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Yesterdays picture I posted on flickr but didn’t post to any groups for comment. It wasn’t my favorite of pictures and I got busy going to see the Yankees and my grandparents that I didn’t have time to deal with posting to the flickr groups. Most of the groups require that you comment on anywhere [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 4

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Yesterdays picture actually got a lot of really good reviews even though I didn’t think it would. Nobody really had anything bad to say, which kinda sucks because I was looking for some constructive criticism.
Day 4:

This shot was taken on the trail as we hiked up Upper Yosemite Falls. We had some pretty cool views [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 3

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Yesterday’s picture got mixed reviews. Some people don’t like HDR’s because they look too fake. A couple of people didn’t like that the blues were too blue and the greens were too green. About halfway through the day I updated the picture here on the blog to make the HDR a bit more realistic. The [...]

Picture-a-Day: Day 2

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Yesterday I posted a picture of Yosemite Falls taken from the Valley floor. A lot of the comments on Flickr were very positive, although a couple people made some really good suggestions, one of which was to focus in more on the waterfalls. One of my classmates in my DSLR class (which ended a couple [...]
