Crossroads Baptist Church at night whilst a car drives by.
I have begun once again to run slides at church. For that reason, I was there late on Wednesday night this week. It seemed a good a time as any to get a nice long exposure of the building. Car driving by while the shutter was open? Merely a bonus. I’m torn on whether or not it’s too distracting, but then again, I have that giant lens flare going on as well, so distractions aren’t really what I’m worrying about for this one.

I shot this one on a whim while eating dinner, and it turned out pretty nice. The 1.8 prime helped out in that respect.I’m always hesitant about making photos black and white, simply because I feel that a lot of the time people use it as a crutch. And it may be one for me here. But I like this more than the colo(u)r version.
Shawna's new umbrella goes with her shirt, which goes for a photo.
For my first photo that I actually took in 2012, an image of Shawna. I wish that I would have exposed it better (I had to fix a lot in RAW, and the glasses reflections kill me) but I liked the fact that her shirt was as flowery as her newly-gotten umbrella (parasol?).
I was planning to shoot some fun restaurants in downtown Houston this week, but perhaps they will show up on this blog at another point.
Megan and Shawna Skype into the holidays.
Hopefully this photo will set a precedent for my 52 project— namely, that my photos will all be interesting and eye-catching. Technically sound photos are nice, and with practice more of my photos will be so, but I think that part of the point of this yearlong plan is to take pictures that people like looking at, not just that people can look at.
Here’s hoping to a photographically fun new year!
