For Christmas, James bought me a Chimpsy photo field trip/class. Such a perfect gift for me! Today I went, and had a lot of fun! I definitely learned how to stay out of “auto” and start venturing into “manual” mode on my camera. This is very scary for a beginner photographer such as myself! I’m not a big “let’s take pictures of landscape” person, so today’s class was hard for me because we were supposed to take pictures of things, not people. I figured to spice it up, I will take pictures of the weirdest things I saw in our little part of Austin where we were shooting at, (San Marcos St. and 6th).
 |
| air stream trailers selling food were everywhere! |
 |
| Some sort of fire hydrant bonfire?!? |
 |
| I liked this trailer because it said “Lucky J’s” |
 |
| interesting visual of telling the public you’re “open” |
 |
| even the trees have character! |
 |
| An old school bus serving lunch next to a “courtyard” with crazy art sculptures. |
 |
| So I thought this trailer was cool and while I was snapping the shot, this girl ran
in my picture who looked very Austin’y’ if you ask me! |
 |
| The “Vegan Yacht” airstream trailer |
 |
| The “Local Yolk” airstream |
Part of our practice was to take shots of “leading lines”. This provides interest in photographs. Here are some of my favorite I took.
