It's been awhile

Like the title says its been a while since I've posted anything to my blog. There are a few reasons for one my in-laws visited from Brazil for about 3 weeks from late April to mid May, and the second reason would be I started going back to school on the 19th of May. I did manage to get some photos taken at a little car show, which I posted a few of the shots to my Flickr account. If you haven't checked it out yet you can see it here Flickr be sure to fave a few and if you have a Flickr account please feel free to follow me, I try to upload a variety of pictures and am steadily building up a nice collection of shots. So hopefully I'll have more time and some more interesting news to report on, but for now I that's all I got. Thanks for reading.

B&W Photo Challenge Day #27 - Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels

This photo was taken at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a few years ago using My Sony DSC-HX1.

There is not a whole lot that I can say about this picture except that life sized Hot Wheels are pretty awesome! 

B&W Photo Challenge Day #17 - Muscle Up

Muscle Up

Although this photo is not of the highest quality, since it was taken with my old HTC EVO, I still believe it looks better in B&W. I have learned that you can save or at least not make them seen so bad or boring by converting to B&W; I knew this before my little challenge, but now it just reinforced it in my mind. So maybe the next time you look at a B&W image just think what it would look like in color and I bet at least 50% of the time the photo would not look even half as cool as it does in B&W. Well anyways hers the pic I shot at a car show about 4 years ago in my city.

Got Muscle?

 

B&W Challenge Day # 14 - Open Doors

Open Doors

This photo I took at last years Oktoberfest here in my city. The photo was taken with my trusty Sony, and then I tuned it up using Photomatix Pro, which usually I like to use for creating HDR photos, but in this instance I used it to make this photo into a B&W image. The photo has seen a pretty good response on my Flickr account as far as page views go it is one of more more popular ones. Speaking of my Flickr account I have just recently joined so I do not have a lot of photos on there yet but I will be posting a little something on here soon about that. Anyways back to this picture...... here it is!
