My Dream of Joining the Colorado Wedding Photography Team

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

Congratulations to Zane and Sara who were married at Blue Lake Ranch ...When I was a kid, I have always dreamt of becoming a member of Colorado Wedding Photography team. They were the ones who took a coverage of my aunt’s church wedding 17 years ago. I was a flower girl back then, and I can still recall how beautiful I looked in my pink gown. I got fascinated with their work because they captured the expressions and emotions of all the guests perfectly. I was more amazed that some of the wedding pictures they took were displayed in their photography studio. I bragged about it in school and told my friends and classmates to visit the studio to see the proof. I also told my mom to buy me a real camera, so I can start practicing being a photographer and in the future, I won’t have a hard time being one. My family just laughed at how obsessed I was with photos right after my aunt’s wedding.

Years passed, but my fascination with photography is still here. I would still dabble at photography once in a while, but I never got to pursue it professionally. Being a plain photographer cannot sustain my daily needs; how much more if I get married someday? So instead of being a photographer, I became a nurse. However, I still plan on taking photography classes. I’m thinking of signing up for classes within the next few months. Photography is still my passion, and I want to fulfill a childhood dream.

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

For the best result with this lens, it is best to follow the instructions that are given on how to use it. Every product has its own instructions that need to be followed to get the best output on it and this lens is one of such product.

The Beauty of Sony 11-18mm Lens

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

The combination of both auto and mechanical focusing in the Sony 11-18mm makes it an added advantage over the lenses. However to obtain best results during photography it is always advisable to disengage the mechanical auto-focusing when you in tend to use the auto-focusing setting. This is because the combination of the two focusing during photography produces undesirable results.

The product is light weighted as a result of the fact that majority of its components were made from plastic. The major difference between this lens and others which also have plastic construction is that the lens holder of the product is made from metal but the filter is made from plastic. The zoom and focus rings of the product look extremely similar. Both of them run parallel to the lens. The only difference between them is the difference in texture and a little difference in size. The user should therefore be careful not to confuse the two.

A Home Studio for Budding Musicians

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

A lot of musically inclined people dream of having their own home studio. This is because having their own studio would allow them to play, record, and edit their music at the time that is most convenient for them. Usually, people develop their interest in music in their adolescent years. But since they still need to go to school at this age, they do not have much time to spend in making their own music, not to mention the fact that it is quite expensive to rent a studio that could accommodate them. But if you really are interested in owning a home studio, you have the option to rent or buy a small space where you could set up all your instruments and equipment so you could start recording your own music. There are a lot of very affordable home studio units that are available in the market. Or if you still cannot afford to buy a unit, you can get one of those spaces for rent until you manage to save up for one that you can purchase.

Do You Have the Buffering

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

I am a die-hard music fan. I love getting online and putting on my big headphones. I need big headphones because those are the best for surround sound. Nickelback When We Stand Together is my favorite to listen to right now. I get lost in this song when I am at work, which may be a bad thing for them. However, everyone has that one song that takes them away a little bit. My boyfriend and I can relate to so many of their songs, that may be why we have so many of their albums. It’s almost funny that we still buy CDs after we download the songs on iTunes. I watch the video because some of the commercial sites have too much traffic running through and buffering seems to be a real problem. I just want to enjoy my video, I am glad I can do that here with no problems.

The Tamron 17-50 2.8 is Clearly Not an Inferior Lens

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

Tamron Lens AF 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 XR Di II for Canon (item 91156034Having the Tamron 17-50 2.8 is a revelation after working for so long with the standard lens that came with my camera. I was shopping around for a good lens that is wide enough for landscape photos but would still give me good portrait photos while remaining sharp. This Tamron was hands-down the winner. It really surprised me with the performance it has as I thought the low price meant it was inferior to brands like Canon and Nikkor. Nothing could have been further from the truth, and I think the bigger brands are going to face some stiff competition from Tamron in the future. With the price of the Tamron giving comparable quality to the bigger brands there seems to be little reason to spend a ton of cash just to have a name brand on the lens. Judging by the amount of Tamron lenses I have been noticing in my friend’s camera bags I know I’m not alone in thinking this way.

Be careful about taking shortcuts or skipping lessons. This usually occurs with self-paced guitar courses like online tutorials. Some beginners assume that they can skip some lessons and just focus on techniques, fingerstyles, or figuring out how to play their favorite songs. This causes the knowledge of the guitar student to be insufficient and limited, and this problem will be compounded later on when the lessons are more advanced and mastery of the basics is necessary. To be sure that you are absorbing all the information that will be useful for you later on, follow the lesson outline of your instructor or lesson course.

Prometheus- the New Alien Movie?

Monday, November 21st, 2011

The Alien series has had a bumpy ride. The original alien movie, made in 1979, is considered a classic. It is a dark and scary tale of meaning with a fearsome alien race. Its sequel, Aliens, had a completely different feel, but was just as good. Aliens had as much adventure action and comedy as it did serious drama, but it was still a great movie. Subsequent versions of the alien movie went downhill from there, ending up going so far as having alien predators battling aliens on earth. Dreadful stuff. But now there is a new alien movie for us to enjoy. Ridley Scott, the director of the original Alien movie, is going back to the world of Alien. The Prometheus movie is a direct prequel to Alien, and could possibly be considered a new Alien movie. How much of a role these fearsome beasts from the first movie will play is unknown. It is obvious that it will be a scary tale of space exploration done with a sure hand of a master director and should revive the flagging Alien series.
