November 13 Photo Dump

Hey, everyone! Today, I went out and got some photos around my college campus. The weather wasn't too great, but I got a few pics I like. As usual, I used my Canon Rebel T7 with Canon wide and telephoto lenses. I made some minor edits, but these photos are largely unaltered. Here's what I cooked up: Austere atmosphere Lone stroll Nature vs lamp Take my hand Camry makes a left turn Red splash A rare instance of vibrancy Quaint village; ideal for skateboarding Cascading vinyl Overall, I'm pretty happy with what I came up with here. I am excited to further explore B&W photography, and I'm also interested in continuing to tinker with the color profiles on my camera. I hope to share the results here soon. Anyway, I hope you liked the pictures, and thanks for stopping by. :)

October 20 Photo Dump and Vlog(!!)

October is nearing its end, and that means we’ll have to contend with winter soon. With this in mind, I wanted to capture rural Indiana's fleeting autumnal beauty this weekend. I decided to do this with two cameras: My beloved Canon Rebel T7 (paired with my Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens) and my Sony Mavica FD88 ( as seen previously   on this blog). I chose to use the Canon for still shots, as per usual... The Fall Vortex Red Splash Bokeh Leaf 3000 By the time I had taken these three photos, the sun had started to set. I was ready for a break. The following afternoon, I decided to find my next subject. My cat Mocha proved to be exactly what I was looking for. Yep, I took a bunch of cat pics. Sue me. A Distinguished Gentleman A Clueless Gentleman A Distracted Gentleman Mocha's Calm Stare I'm glad Mocha cooperated, as the results are quite nice. I had a lot of fun with my fall pictures, but nothing beats photographing cats (when they're on board with it).  As for the Mavica, I u

October 7 Photo Dump

Hey, everyone! My fall break is rapidly approaching its end, so today, I decided it was once again time to take some proper pictures with my Canon Rebel T7. I used my trusty Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens for these shots, and it did not disappoint. As usual, these photos were taken exclusively in manual mode with minimal edits. Enough talk, here are the pics! Shimmering Flower Shimmering Flower (Alternate Shot) Flower Nestled in the Leaves Pumpkin Contemplating Fall Vibrant Sunflower In Her Element Intense Stare I'm really happy with all of these shots. I really missed taking photos with my little Rebel. Admittedly, I've been a little distracted by my recent instant camera addiction , but this is still my favorite camera of all time. With that in mind, I'm extremely glad I had the time today to use it again. Thanks for stopping by, and stayed tuned for more photography stuff! Have a good one.

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an

Sunset Pics - Sep 1, 2024

Hey, folks! I've got a very quick post for today. I just went on a drive and took some pictures on my Canon 10D. This is a DSLR from 2003, and it's still capable of taking some nice images. I paired it with a period-accurate Canon 28-80mm lens for the full retro experience. With that in mind, here are my favorite shots from tonight's adventure: The classic sunset pic. Nature vs. the fence. Summer embodied in one image. It's very pink. Non-colorized version of the last picture. Time flies when you're having fun. I hope you liked the pics! Thanks for checking them out, and happy snapping.

Fuji S2000HD Photo Dump and Impressions

Hey, folks! Yesterday, I was browsing through a nearby Goodwill's decrepit electronics section, when I stumbled upon something very interesting: a Fujifilm camera. Specifically, it was a Finepix S2000HD. I'd been interested in trying a Fuji for a while, so I figured this wasn't a bad use of $15. Here's how it went... My first impressions: This camera is surprisingly feature-rich. It has a proper manual shooting mode. It also has a 10 megapixel 1/2.3 inch CCD sensor. The integrated lens supports up to 15x optical zoom, which isn't too shabby. Best of all, it has an electronic viewfinder! Not bad for a little bridge camera from 2009. It's also nice that it runs off of 4 AA batteries and can take any SD card up to 32 GB. This Fuji is very compact, making it great for casual shooting. After shooting with this camera for a day, I have a couple of thoughts. The colors are beautiful, and the CCD provides that classic digicam look. The photos this camera takes don'
