Photo 365 - On Assignment

Hello There Everyone and Welcome to the Blog

I have three sets of photos here. The first is my photo project (the original page) entitled Photo 365 - On Assignment. It was a spin on a 365 photo project. I love the idea of the 365 project, but I needed a little more structure. I also needed some help getting out of my photographic comfort zone. I decided to take suggestions for monthly themes from the people around me and those who view my photos. I finished the project on January 15th, but please feel free to go back and enjoy my year in pictures.

The second page is dedicated to my favorite photographic subject, nature. Right now that page contains just photos I have taken in Everglades National Park. I just finished updating it, adding more photos, captions, and common and scientific names for all the shots. Please enjoy!

The third page is from the second UM Spring Football game in 2010. This was my first foray into sports photography. I was "working" this event with a friend of mine who blogs for a Hurricane's sports blog. All the shots came from the stands because we didn't have sideline passes, but I still got some decent shots. I hope to update this page with shots from this year's spring game. Go Canes!

Enjoy the blog!

Photo 365 - On Assignment - October (Architecture)

Building Architecture

I believe these gentlemen are working on the parking garage for the new Marlins stadium. These guys were perfectly lit by the rising sun. Combine perfect lighting with the patterns of window openings and the orange support struts and I love how this one turned out. Not all architecture photos need to be of completed shots, it's important to remember how all the nice architectural features around us came to be.

New Marlin Stadium (Friday, Oct 22nd)

Technically the best picture I have taken, uh No. But I did take it as I was driving by the stadium so I'm gonna roll with it. This was really more of a "mistake" picture, for as I mentioned I took this shot while driving away from the stadium. I saw on my camera it looked like I completely underexposed it, but once I got in post production I noticed it was a salvageable shot. The stadium section is definitely not exposed real well, but the sky with bright sun-lit clouds on one side, the bright blue sky on the other, and the wave of cloud between them makes it all worth it.
