I'd been thinking after going through the photos from two weekends ago at Air & Space and the zoo that I should spend more time playing with my camera to try improving my shots a bit and working through some of the camera's features. Here's a perfect opportunity, stolen from sistercoyote:

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you`re interested in - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favourite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as a diary entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life, if you`re remotely interested in it.

I'll put a couple of conditions on it though: no risque pictures, and pictures of other people will only happen if they're amenable.

Cooking. :)

*laugh* I already know exactly what I'm going to use. ;)

Your favorite tree outside your house.

Something you like at work.

no risque pictures

Crap what's left!?!?


Well the idea is to challenge, and I find that one of the harder things to do is use your available light when there isn't much around.

So kill the lights, grab a few candles and set up a scene ti shoot.
Maybe some flowers or a dinner setting, but only use the candles as a light source no flash.
Your camera might not have the ability to deal with that so let me know if it can't.

Well, the idea of the original request wasn't so much a photography challenge, but since I just preemptively took away items 1-47 (at least) on your request list I figure I'll let you request a challenge. ;)

My camera is a decent point and shoot, but I'm not sure how well a shot in such low light will turn out. I'll give it a try and let you know.

And when have I followed the rules?

What I meant was that you can take pictures all day long, and never get good unless you know why it is you are getting better.

and I did ask for an aspect of your life...your candles

Let me know if you want to borrow a fancier camera and lenses...

[geekchick]

Thanks. =) Wouldn't know what to do with them if I had them, though.

The aspect you'd want me to see most. :-)

[geekchick]

You're a PITA, you know that? ;)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Well, you excluded risque, so I was flatlining (I just finished some physics homework).

How about an unusual Gateway shot or some such?

[geekchick]

*laugh* Sorry to have taken away what seems like it would've been a popular choice. ;)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

*snicker* Besides, when you're ready I thought I was going to take those. ;-)

Squirrels at the bird feeder, and your favorite boots, preferably being worn =).

[geekchick]

The bird feeders are currently not stocked thanks to the local raccoons, but I'll try to get them back in action soon. It's supposed to snow here tomorrow, so that seems like as good an opportunity as any.

the stuffed animal that you are most sentimental about.

[crouchback.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see your bookshelf.

The part of your commute you like the most.
