In through the Out Arch

It is finally the weekend, and I have just finished all of my classes for the semester. However, final exams are still lurking around the corner. In honor of said finals, and my beloved campus, I have decided to reveal one of my favorite pieces.

Ladies and Gentleman, I present you THE ARCH....

ARCH you glad I took this picture?
Like I have stated before, I have a thing for symmetry.

I took this picture about a year ago in the spring while waiting for Girlfriend to get ready. I used a new type of photography called HDR photography. HDR combines the extremes of both under and over-exposed photos, with the properly exposed photo. So in layman's terms, I combined 3 pictures (one over developed, one under developed, and one normally developed) to create this picture. Other than that, no editing was done.

This picture only captures a fraction of the beauty that makes up my campus. The only thing that could make it better would be a plethora of snow... But maybe that is just my preference.

I love my campus.

Say Cheese.


ps fun fact, my parents were married in the above arch....... weird!

Fool in the Rain

Weather and photography do not always mix. Especially when the weather consists of raging winds and rain. But,  being pressed for time I HAD to see this field that Girlfriend has told me so much about. I just had to see the essence of what an England field was.

In the midst of the pouring rain, I decided to expose my camera to the elements of that rainy day. Being nervous about possibly ruining my camera, I managed to hastily take at least one decent picture.

I owe an apology to Girlfriend for dragging her out in the pouring rain. I hope this picture suffices as an apology.
 
Say Cheese.
