Firework attempts July 5th, 2009 by willblatt
Most of these were taken between f/8 and f/14. I used bulb setting on all but a few, the others I used 20-30 sec timers. On a few of them I zoomed in/out in between fireworks on the same picture. I think that’s what give the crazy lines on some of them.
Balboa Park March 28th, 2009 by willblatt
I thought this was the hardest of any of the activities we’ve done so far. Perhaps its because its hard to come up with ideas at places you’ve been to before.

The second photo (the one of the science museum) isn’t wonderful but I thought it was a cool effect.

I Can Do Twigs February 23rd, 2009 by Jessica b
So I am finally posting pictures. I think having the topics will make me more likely to post. There were some other pictures I took that were potentially “wicked awesome,” (just kidding, it’s me we are talking about) alas, I got trigger happy and accidentally shot with an 800 ISOS setting and I don’t do grainy very well so…Note to self: check settings more often.
There were plenty of flowers sitting around considering Valentine’s Day.
