Like my previous Journal entry month and months ago said, I miss DA, and I've been meaning to post stuff here. Well, this morning, I'm not tired, and for some reason, I'm on DA uploading pictures. Most are old, some are new, some are old with a new twist.

My two photographic fascinations right now are Time-lapse photography, and Tilt-shift photography. Even better, time-lapse tilt-shift photography. I haven't been able to set up in a good spot for 6+ hours and make some magic (finals are coming up) but it's on my to-do list.

Also, if you've noticed I've been dabbling with HDR and IR stuff too. I dunno, I'm just attracted to the alternative techniques.

Oh, and I was very upset when I was home for Thanksgiving break. My wonderful, plastic Holga is broken! I don't know what happened to it, but the lens barrel is jammed up. It's like it was pushed it. I can't focus with it anymore, and I'm not even sure it'll focus on any distance the way it is. I have no access to a darkroom, which is why I haven't been playing with it. Maybe over the winter break I'll see what I can do to save it.

Finally, one more area I'm looking at is astrophotography. I have a pair of really nice telescopes, and I really want to play with them. Last night I watched the crescent moon slowly set over a cloudy Pennsylvanian mountain and it was mesmerizing. I wish I could have photographed it. Of course my idiot older brother put his elbow through the Cassegrain reflector, an approx. $650 slip that renders that scope useless till it's fixed.
