For the most part, I followed my plan. The time that I set aside was a bit off though. My nap was more along the lines of hibernation, rather than power or cat. I did study, but not for much more than an hour. Around eight I did end up heading out and shooting some pictures down our street. Nothing stood out enough to make for an interesting picture on its own. Most of my pictures ended up out of focus, composed horribly, underexposed, or just plain boring. Then I realized my CF card could only hold 31 RAW files, so I made my way home.
Back at my room, I was pretty disappointed. I was looking forward to my first photo trip out into the world, but it was all pretty lackluster. I decided to go out again, and to walk a little further than a block. Red Square had plenty of interesting things lit nicely. What really helped me is that there weren’t boring street lights. I really want to take a good, long exposure of the brick towers at night. That will have to wait until the moon is full and I have my tripod back. It was nice to take pictures again. Hopefully, I’ll find time to go out during the day and we’ll see how that goes.
The NBA season started, which means fantasy teams begin their battles. Thank you Carmelo for shooting 5 for 25. Keep up the good work. Good job on the boards though. Anyone I’ve talked to about it has said that their TNT doesn’t work. Hopefully it’s just temporary. It doesn’t matter though, refreshing NBA.com is just as exciting–like how reading the back of a dvd case is just as good as watching the movie.
