Last night I went out with an old friend of mine, to Disneyland. I've been getting into the whole photography thing and have been wanting to take lots of pictures, and experimenting with f stops, shutter speeds, you name it. More importantly, been wanting to see what a 50mm lens would do, so I set my zoom to 50mm, and worked with it.
The best thing about Disneyland is that if you are handicapped, or have a friend that's disabled, you can get right to the front of the lines. No waiting at all for the most part. It's kinda like the VIP pass. I know it sounds bad, but it made the night fun. I've never gotten on so many rides, in a long time. All the rides that I hadn't been on, in along time, I got on.
Last night was also the supermoon. I took a couple shots, but they were during the fireworks show, so I got some extra haze and clouds in the shots. They're ok, but I think I need faster lenses, especially for dark shots. I smell next investment, coming on.
I'm trying to figure out where I wanna go with this. I'm very interested in developing my style as an amateur photojournalist. I'm not in it for money at this point, more for fun and experimenting. I'm working on my website so that I can have something to point people to, with a business card, just for the heck of it.
I'm attaching a mix of some shots from the night. Had to shoot at high ISO, wide open f stop, on a 18-135mm lens, on a Canon 60d. Some came out blurry, my bad. Next time I'll get em right.
I've got a couple better ones on my Picasa page.
