Around the House

Due to the fact that I am unable to go anywhere and test out my new Nikon D5000,(more on it later) I decided to take some pictures around the house. I didn't just go around snapping pictures willy-nilly though. I set some rules for myself that forced me to think about the composition, rather than all the digital photography junk. The rules were that the pictures were to be taken at night (under artificial light), Camera was to be set at ISO 200, camera must be in "Aperture Priority" or "Manual" mode, must be in black and white (just cause), camera must be set to manual focus, and at least four minutes must be spent on composing the picture. This is what I came up with:

Yeah... I know its not the greatest for what it could be. I think I got lazy on some of these pictures and didn't get the composition right.

Cell Phone

These are just some black and white pictures that I have accumulated over time. All these pictures where taken with my LG Dare 3.2 megapixel (Schneider-Kreuznach) phone camera

This is a color panorama of the Grand Canyon

The Sculpture...

These are some pictures of a sculptre I had to make in art class. It is nothing special, but I decided to do a crude make-shift studio type shoot with my curtians and carpet as a backdrop, and my extendable lamp as a light.

A quick Installment

Once again, it is time for some more random pictures. Here are two...

This brings out the inner "redneck" in me. (No offense, you guys are awesome!)

A Globe.

San Felipe, Mexico

These pictures may seem amaturish (which I am an amature), But I didnt take as many pictures as I had anticipated. I took these in San Felipe, Mexico.

Film Photography

Some time ago, I found an old film SLR camera. The model is the canon AE-1 Program and was introduced in japan in 1976. One of the "high tech" features of this camera is the "program" feature that allows pictures to be taken without having to choose a shutter speed and f-stop. In my opinion, having all this automated takes the fun out of taking the pictures. thankfully there is a manual setting. I hope to have the digital copies of the pictures up as soon as I can place the "Ryan C. Photography" in the corners.

Cactus Flower

These pictures are kinda random, but from a flower growing on a cactus.
