Camp thus far

July 4, 2009 at 4:47 pm (camp, photography)

Weeks 1 and 2 were alright as I had two different groups.  But names are awful…and I don’t remember half of the kids names.

During week two we were up at Elephant Rocks, where I had never been before and I nearly killed myself by rescuing a kids waterbottle.  Down a waterfall is where I fell, I managed to catch onto something and move back up it, it left a funky bruise on my head.  But before all this I took these shots of a cacti that was on Elephant Rocks…can you believe it cacti in Missouri?IMG_0373

IMG_0375Lee came to visit at the end of the two weeks then I was thrown right back into Session 2 of camp.

Session 2 was a bit better, but I was overly stressed out between week 1-2, and it was freezing the night I took these shots outside while lying on my cot.

IMG_0479Oh campouts…we had no tent…and it was freezing.  No one slept well this night…

Off to Camp

May 27, 2009 at 10:10 pm (camp)

Well I leave for camp on Friday so I’m busy getting ready to go.  I won’t be online too much, and don’t expect many photos out of me, I have been told that I am not allowed to put photos of the kids up online, and that’s what my camp photos consist of.  (The problem is that I could get sued and I’m not up for that idea.)

I intend to do quite a bit of star photography, however, just to practice before I start my black and white class this semester.  I don’t get the ones from vacation back until Friday so I’ll see if any of them even come out.  I hope they do…cause a cop pulled over to make sure we were ok while I was doing my photos and I was sure the one I thought I was working on got destroyed.  Turns out I didn’t do it right.   Oops…anyways…I have a book on it so I’ll get there.

If the photos come out I will put them online.

Oh by the way I have a better site than that last one where I will be uploading photos to, until I get a pro site…which won’t be until I start getting a steady income. heres the link.

One more thing before I get going here, I’m going to do nature photography.  I guess I’m not really interested in photo manipulations after that awful excuse for a midprogram.  I’ll still do a few, but I like nature much better and most of my photos are that.  I’m going to try and get a job at some national park and try to live there so I get my night shots along with the rest.
