So, What is Next?
in Personal
Another year of college is done and I can finally look forward to a hopefully awesome summer. First, I want to reflect a bit on how much I have got done at ISU last year. No, not on classes because I don't even want to think about those. More about photos and how far I have come!
I took this in Colorado and have printed it and framed it since then.
I started taking photos seriously in late November during the Thanksgiving Break. I learned as much as I could before the trip to Colorado that was to ski and relax. I ended up taking quite a few great photos that I have since printed for my walls. I love printing my photos and big prints are my favorites. The photo below is the one I have printed the largest, and it is a 24-36 inches.
A photo from Santorini last year I had printed really big.
I started this site in January and have been working on it slowly since then in the free time I have had, and I hope to do a lot more this summer. I plan to dive into doing more time-lapses which should be very cool! I did one about a week ago on the ISU campus that turned out very well.
I also did a time-lapse of the night sky that went nicely as well with the stars moving. I love the effect of hours of time moving by through video in just a couple of seconds especially with this one because you just don't see these things with your own two eyes alone.
Anyways, I just wanted to check in and say there is going to be plenty more coming in the next couple of weeks and hopefully a ton of awesome photos being posted from June on of Italy!
