Day 261

Day 261- Hoops

I went to a basketball game tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim.  I didn't take any great photos so I made this one a little more fun.  I overexposed the picture, upped the contrast, and increased the saturation.

Day 221

Day 221- Huddle

Apparently Qualcomm Stadium has hardly any camera restrictions.  We had low seats and the entire game I was kicking myself for not bringing my zoom lens.  I'll just have to go to another game there, I'm sure my fiance will hate that...

Day 95

Day 95- Bright Billiards

I realized many of my past posts were blue or "cool" colored so I've been trying to find something "warm" to photograph.  The pizza was nice and warm yesterday and this bright red pool table was perfect today!

Day 80

Day 80- Point and Shoot

I spent the evening at the Home Depot Arena watching an LA Galaxy soccer game.  The stadium rules said no cameras with interchangeable lenses, so being the rule follower that I am, I packed away my beautiful DSLR and got out my trusty ol' point and shoot.  At first, it was fun. I played with the settings and had to relearn how to shoot in manual.  I also enjoyed how light it was and easy to throw in my purse.  However, when we got to the stadium, I began to realize all the wonderful things I can do with my DSLR that I cannot do with my point and shoot.  The ISO only went up to 800, so I had a hard time getting enough light in the shots.  Since the shots were dark, I had to keep the shutter open longer, and since the players were running around the field, a longer shutter meant they were blurry.  I also had to rely on the preview LCD screen to meter my shots.  Since the screen isn't perfect many of my shots are over or under exposed.  I also would have likes to change out lenses for wide angle stadium shots and zoom shots of individual players.  In the end, it was a fun challenge.  The game was exciting and we all had a good time.  More shots if you click the link below!

Day 10

Day 10- Picture Puzzle
I created this image by piecing together 6 individual photos.  I wanted to get a panoramic view of the stadium on this pretty evening.  When I attempt another photo like this, I will get a tripod so things fit together a little better.
Technical Info- 1600, f/3.5, 1/1600

Had to include this pretty nighttime shot of Downtown LA.  One more reason to buy a tripod!!

Day 2

Day 2- Rock 'n' Bowl

My friends and I went Rock 'n' Bowling tonight. The bowling alley was dark, so in order to get a light enough picture, I had to do a longer exposure. The longer exposure caused the bowler to be out of focus. I think it actually ended up kind of cool looking. The bowler in the photo is our friend Shahen :-)
