I love photography. I had the opportunity to Winter Park these past 3 days. And while I was there of course I did not past up the opportunity to try to take some awesome photos. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty cloudy so I couldn't get clear shots of the mountains which was a complete bummer. But at the place where we were staying, there was a incredible historic part with very rustic builds and structures. I went crazy and took over 70 pictures. I am going to post some of my favorites. A few of these will also go into my portfolio. Please tell me what you think!!! That is the only way that I can get better!!!
Cleaning my lens getting ready to take pictures...
So let me know what your thoughts are!
Lately I have become intrigued with photography and capturing that "Kodak moment" and finding the perfect view point. It is so interesting to me that photographers like Ansel Adams and Irving Penn who are able to portray an emotion or nostalgia with one photo or one image. Authors use pages of writing, description and in depth looks and characters and settings where photographers get one shot to portray the entire story. I guess it would be like asking a comic artist to portray the entire film strip into one page or one comic box. Photography is hard work as I have learned. I ventured to the beautiful Rocky Mountains and the Boulder Mountain Park to attempt to take some beautiful photography. I was using an old manual SLR Nikon camera similar to the one below to attempt to get amazing photography.

However, due to the time and the lighting a lot of the photos did not turn out as great as I would have hoped. A few of the shots had great focus and out focus shots but the colors where very drab and boring mainly sticking to the colors of white and blue. I wanted to capture the essence of the Rocky Mountains and take back to my dorm impressive pictures but instead got only washed out photos. I was very disappointed. However, thanks to always being ready, New Year’s morning, I was able to take some amazing photos. I had a great viewpoint of the Rockies. After a late night of excitement, the sun had just begun to rise up and brightly illuminate the mountains. Now instead of blue and white the Rockies glowed bright pink and sun burnt red. Flashing above was a bright white moon and pink clouds floating along. I was thoroughly happy with being able to take these pictures. However, because I used a manual camera, I have to scan the pictures before I can upload them. This will happen soon. Here’s to more photography!
