Well, I finished that game, so it’s back to business!

First of all, big news is that I think I’ll be closing on my house this coming Friday! It’s been a loooong time coming (I first put down my offer way back in August of ‘09) but it looks like the end is finally here! The end of living and eating free I mean… I’m gonna go do my walkthrough on Wednesday hopefully, so I’ll post a few pics then. In the meantime…

This week’s photo theme was “Blue.” I took like a hundred pictures of Harry ’cause I was deadset on capturing his blue collar. I wanted to have the contrast of his blue collar against my black bedspread. Here’s the picture I ended up choosing:

I like the way his eye caught the flash, and you can see a bit of the wetness. Almost like he’d been crying sad doggie tears. Haha, but not really. He was just tired, and probably just annoyed that my flash had been going off in his face a million times.

I almost went with this one. I just like how old and wise he looks.

And some leftovers from NYE…

And I’m still planning on editing that footage from Evan and JP’s party… hopefully will get that up at somepoint…!

Happy New Year!

So I bought myself the Speedlite 580EXII flash for my camera and I love being able to take pictures in dark places i hadn’t been able to before. I’d say my favorite thing about the flash is being able to pump up the shutter speed so high that there’s no chance of any motion blur. The pictures just seem sharper! Also, the fact I can angle the flash up so that it bounces off the ceiling for a more natural lighting look. Not so washed out, like with most consumer cameras.

So here are a few pics I took.

Here’s my Maudio Sputnik. Good times.

Me showing off my flash to Gretchen which really means me surprising her with a pic. Again, look how natural the colors look and everything! I didn’t edit these photos at all (except to resize them)!

Here’s Sunny again. I really like this shot. So cute.

And mid-yawn. Not as cute. haha, why do dogs always look like crazy killer animals when they get caught on camera mid-yawn?

Sunny wearing Taylor’s glasses. I don’t think he liked it.

Taylor before going out for New Years. AKA, big kid prom.

That’s all for now, still working on that video from Evan’s b-day, but DragonAge has been distracting me!
