Shutter(-) Negative A Photographers Journey, With Complimentary Sarcasm

My Camera Violated Me…

Ok, maybe I violated my camera, either way it was some akward stuff. A little lost? It's easier to explain I promise. For some reason here recently I've wanted to try my hand more with architecture photography. It's something I was never really good at, so I figure it will give me a new challenge. Tonight was my first try using the buildings in my home town.

I gotta say It's hard to wrap my mind around shooting just buildings. While my work has never really had many models in it, it's how my mind thinks of photos, and views potential shot locations. So trying to picture photos of just buildings, was well... hard for me. Thankfully I was partially smart and stumbled around some good architecture photographers. Especially photos taken at night. It gave me some ideas as well as framing the shots.

I have to say it could have gone better, there are some good locations to shoot buildings around here, for sure. But alas I came up with nothing stunning to me. I will probably post the results here if any come out decent. I am also starting to play with 'Merge To HDR' in photoshop (shot all the photos tonight bracketed) and should have at least an article covering it up in a few days.

Oh and as for the title of this post; I would pull up to a spot, leave my car running and my windows down, grab the tripod from the backseat, camera from the front, and get to shooting photos. When I was done a few times I would just drop the camera in through the drivers window onto the seat, and open the back door to throw the tripod in. Well once in a while... I kinda forgot that the camera was still in the front seat. I think you can guess what would happen. It was awkward; didn't hurt either of us, just awkward.

Oh and I am still editing the photos from my day in Arkansas. I will make a new post once I have photos to show.
