SLR=single lense reflex
35 mm
Rolls of film that had to be threaded into the camera.
?
Feeling older by the minute.
Developing film = dark room & toxic chemicals?

that is a cool shot Katie....we have alot of cardnials around too!

justplugit · 01-18-2006, 06:16 PM

Katie, that is an unbelievable shot.

A friend of mine is a wildlife photographer and woulld wait days in a blind for a shot like that. He has won numerous awards and has a site at John Gill Photograpy if you want to check it out. Keep up the good work.

Katie · 01-18-2006, 09:26 PM

thanks..! once i get some money i can spend i definitly want to get it printed.. i just finished shooting my last roll of film for this semester.. i scanned in some of my prints but then i couldnt figure out how to resize pictures in paint. but i couldnt figure it out so i'll use adobe on them tomorrow. i definitly think i found a second hobby i can do that doesnt containt a lot of stress..

Saltheart · 01-19-2006, 09:04 AM

the only dogs we have had are goldens, i sometimes know what he's thinking but here i'm not sure..

Your school should have a photo club or yearbook staff. Join one and you will have a a blast.

Katie · 01-26-2006, 10:14 AM

My teacher has said i "have the eye" also, but i think i'll just keep it as a hobby for now, and keep taking it in school.. its a fun class, it helps me look forward to going to school, but today is my last day in the class because finals are today, but i did the photo final yesterday, so i get to hang out on the computer in class

I have this one picture that my teacher and everyone i know thinks is "Remarkable" I'll try and scan it in sometime next week.. photography is really fun i like it, always have loved taking pictures.. but now i know that i have a knack for it, and its not going to go away for a long time, its here to stay..

Yup, like Karl and your teacher said, you have the eye. Like you say,
it's something that's fun and you enjoy it. All the more reason you will be sucessful at it Katie.

Plus havin and lovin Goldens won't hurt either.

chris L · 01-26-2006, 01:26 PM

those are some good shots katie . you definately have the eye . it wont go away , it only gets more refined . one thing that makes a picture more interesting is to offset your subject ( subject not directly in middle of photo . just like you did with the girl walkng down the road . by moving her up nearer the top of the photo you give the idea of her walking off the picture . with plenty of road behind her maybe indicating that she has walked a long way . by moving her to the bottom it may give the illusion of her having a long road ahead of her . if she was centered it would just be her back . is she walking ? to ? or from ?

keep it up . Its fun and will give you some great memeories of moments in your life .
