Lately, I've really wanted to start getting back into photography. Having Travis around has been sort of an inspiration into shooting again, and having someone who enjoys taking pictures just as much is nice to have around. This means someone to go on non-model shoots with and to help critic my ideas hopefully leading to better shoots.
I'm finally getting my life in order and hopefully soon I can start scheduling shoots again. I'll be getting a new car hopefully in the next couple weeks (yay) and today I should be finishing my moving if all goes well. I'm going to try and find time in my busy work/school schedule this summer (summer classes+full time hours=not fun) to start doing some more shoots, I feel the longer sunlight hours will definitely be a plus.
Also, it has come to my attention that my monitor is calibrated pretty different from other's newer computers (especially laptops) and I will try to correct that. I think the contrast is up way to high or something (crappy graphics card) The problem with that is that things that appear black to me actually show detail to you, leaving the picture looking a little funny. If you've noticed this, believe me, it looks way better on my computer. It's going to take some time, but I'll probably go through and re-edit all the photos with this problem.
Heres a good example:
<-- This picture here.
On my monitor the back of the couch is black, you cannot see the back of the couch. Newer monitors show detail I thought I blacked out, making the couch kind of look like it's glowing.
Ugh.
Anyways, just thought I would update a little, I haven't submitted in a while but I shall soon. Naval Academy shoot with Jenn Friday evening! I think it will go well.
