iphone photos

Posted in iphone photos, random things by amethystlune on January 2, 2010

in my resolution to train my eye and learn photos by taking photos, i was debating if i should attempt #2 to take daily photos. then it dawned on me that i carry a camera every single day – my iphone! i NEVER leave home without it. so what if it’s a cell phone pic, art is art and training my eye is training my eye. hopefully, attempt #2 to train my eye will last longer than attempt #1. this is one of my fave iphone fotos. it was actually taken …. last year. :p so, i’ll start tomorrow . . .

photo stuff i want to learn in 2010

Posted in dogs, journal by amethystlune on January 1, 2010

originally photo techniques i wanted to learn in 2009, which has morphed into techniques to learn for 2010. maybe THIS year will be the year. ;p

  • portraits: people and pets
  • photojournalism: weddings and events
  • macro shots
  • night photography

we saw mozart as we were leaving a restaurant in the north bay. incredibly chill dog. reminds me of Beethoven (the movie not the musician). i wonder if that’s what they were thinking when they named the dog.

M&M’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve

Posted in friends & places, love by amethystlune on December 31, 2009

i ‘volunteered’ to take photos for my friend’s nye party/surprise proposal. and i’ve found i have lots to learn, one of which is never to use rechargeable batteries for flash, to be prepared with some sort of shot list cuz i know there were some people i probably should have taken more photos of, and to buy a 1.4 lens sometime this year. :) but i was able to capture some shots of the evening. thank you for letting me be a part of your new adventure.

tofu dog

hi tofu! we met the aptly named little pup at a yogurt store. tofu would rather sniff the yogurt store floor than to pose but i got a few shots in anyways. thanks, new owner, for allowing tofu to be my practice model. :)
