So monday was presidents day. What does presidents day give us? 1. It gives a lot of people off. Including me. 2. It gives us Spike TV’s all day Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and bikini model programming. I’m not ashamed to admit that I was glued to this programming.
Why am I writing about this? Well I was thinking to myself. My god!, that photographer has the best job in the freaking world. Its insanity. It made me rethink why exactly I’m taking up photography as a hobby. Thats what i should be doing!!
Instead of course I find myself finding new things to focus really close in on and taking pictures of them. Or at least I’m getting ready to do that. I have a few things to read and figure out first, like how to effectively use my flash so what I’m focusing on is properly illuminated. The second is maybe building some sort of aparatus such that I can steady these close in shots. I don’t really know if i need this second thing. I have a pretty steady hand, and think for the most part I won’t have any motion problems. I guess I’ll just have to shoot this roll of film I have and see how it comes out.
This did however give me some strange idea of combining somehow what I was drooling over on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model tv show, and my whole thrust into closeup photography. I guess we’ll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it right ;).
Mike, the aparatus you need is called a tripod. :-p
be more fun to build ;) .. and i wanted to use the word aparatus
