Happy Labor Day!

Hope everyone's having a fun Labor day getting in one of the final swims of the summer, or BBQ's with your family. It's another action packed day in the man cave with two college summaries and a government essay to write. Nothing really exciting today. But what I wanted to share today was a few blogs that if you're interested in Disney, then definitely check them out.

First up, my great friend Danielle has a terrific blog about past stories and experiences she had as a Cast Member at the Disneyland Resort. Some are humorous, others are sure to bring a tear to your eye. In fact, rumors have it that she's in talks with some people about a memoir book. She definitely deserves it, after all the networking and connections she makes with people. So if you want to check out her Tales of a Disneyland Cast Member, click....HERE

Second in the list is a phenomenal photography blog of Disneyland photography. Albert's a really great guy who happens to catch some really great angles and writes on them at his site. It's still relatively fresh to the interwebs, but I highly suggest checking out his photos HERE.

Day at Night - Mountains

Here's some shots I took last night in the mountains at my Aunt's place. I was house sitting for her, and with being in the mountains, the air is a bit clearer, so thankfully, I got a good shot of the stars that you don't normally see in the city. Enjoy!

Day Into Night

Ever have a bad day, then come home, and do something that calms you down? What is it that you do to calm yourself?

For me, it's late night photography, with some quiet music playing. I went outside my house tonight and was listening to some Yanni, and toyed with the camera, to see what I could get out of the night. With a thirty second shutter delay, a lot that is left in the dark, comes out in the light. You just have to look for it.

Late night long boarding.

Teaching my sister how to longboard is an interesting time. Half the time she's falling, the other half just moving without turning or anything, but hey, it's all baby steps. Had a good time just chilling with her though!

And since we're both photographers...

Colors of the Night

 

Had some fun last night with my mom's camera. I really enjoy getting night shots to show up so bright. Maybe because it's a bit of an oxymoron, being able to show the light that is otherwise in the darkness. I don't know why specifically, maybe I just think it's cool. But these shots turned out well, and I thought I'd post them and see what everyone thought. Enjoy!

Sunset and Light

I was in my front yard tonight getting some stuff out of the car, and thought the sunset was pretty enough to toy around with. So I grabbed my mom's new camera, and started messing with the ISO and shutter speeds. Both are shot at 3200 ISO, but the first is at a 1/4 second shutter speed, and the second is with 10 seconds. Amazing what light can do, right?
