I took some pictures in my garage and I found an old factory building with the doors open that I'm going to return to this week.

More Trees Changing in Spring

Here you see a change in weather. First, sunny then clouds start rolling in, then the rain begins.

Hi Everyone,

I went to Bermuda and I've posted some pictures from my vacation. They were taken in Hamilton, St George and King's Warf. It's amazing how different and more vivid the colors are down there from the water, to the homes and buildings, to the sky. I tried taking different shots besides landscapes and tried to get some interesting close ups. I have so many photos to go through. I am still developing my "eye" when reviewing and find myself straightening most of the photos and playing with the different lighting and coloring features. Editing a picture can take it from an okay shot to something really good but it takes a few different edits, undos, and redos to get it right. And even then sometimes I'm not sure if its right but I am learning alot. You can see the rest at http://www.fotothing.com/rhonda4313/.

This week I focused on urban decay. I was looking for buildings that were abandoned or in disrepair. I spent most of my time in New Haven around Ferry Street. It is kind of sad to see so many buildings boarded up or vacant.

Domestic Energy

Hi everyone, Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while...I've had all kinds of difficulties getting started with my assignments, but now I want to catch up with you all and finally make some posts! First of all, if I haven't told you yet, my theme is "energy" which I will be putting into sub-themes for my weekly posts--This post being under the sub-theme "domestic energy." This sub-theme features the forms of energy found and used in the home. Above is a sample of some of the photos I took to illustrate "domestic energy." The rest can be found on my fotothing account, which is under the username JWren, and you can find me on Jerry's friend list and add me if you'd like. I will look for you all as well. Thanks!

I finally have some photos to show! Here are two shots from my "A Day in the Life" series... which is a profile of my best friend Steve.
I am having an issue getting my camera to take shots with the auto exposure setting without the flash. It's kind of annoying to have to set the focus and exposure without a tripod or a whole lot of time to take photos. Plus I have no idea what to do with the aperature settings. Are there any good internet tutorials for such things?

Mattabasset Trail

The photos above were from my last hike on the Mattabasset Trail in North Guilford. I tried some different takes on the theme of motion and my favorite ended up as the shoes from above. Remaining are available at http://www.fotothing.com/jplyman/
