Montrose Flowers Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur My family got together (well, most of them at least) down in Montrose, IA, on Saturday. I was excited to see new things, so of course I took the camera and snapped as many pictures as I could. Not all of them were as interesting as this one, but [...]

Flowers at Night Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur I’ve been meaning to play with long exposures and off-camera flash for a while, and tonight presented an interesting opportunity. Out of 57 pictures, only 4 really turned out nicely. This one was my favorite of the night.

Rose I really, really, really, really, REALLY love my new camera. This picture is raw – just the way it came off the memory card. All I did was convert it to a more common file type (JPEG) and upload it to share. Oh, and this is yet another bloom from the front of my [...]

Allium Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur After a seemingly LOOOONG winter, the landscaping in front of my house is finally starting to grow, bloom, and flourish. The first plants to bloom are my alliums, which create large, round balls of purple flowers. They almost look like fireworks were frozen in time.

4-15 Random Roadtrip Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur Last week was a LOOOOONG week, and towards the end I was getting rather anxious. It turns out that I was coming down with a cold, but that’s beside the point. On Thursday night, I had had enough. I needed to get away for a little while. I [...]

4-17 Trinity Lutheran Photowalk Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur Last Saturday, I met up with a group of photogs from the Peoria area to take pictures inside Trinity Lutheran Church. This is an older church in this area, and the architecture and adornments speak to that. I had only been in one other Lutheran church before [...]

4-13 Macro Play Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur Amidst the fallen leaves, new ones emerge. Spring has been a FUN time to begin my photographic endeavors. I took this shot the other night before choir practice. And, as neat as I find this picture to be, I think that the new growth is actually Poison Ivy.

4-7 Dilapidated House Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur I think I’ve fallen head-over-heels in love with a program called Lightroom, which is a sibling to Photoshop. Just last night, it allowed me to take an average picture of an abandoned house and turn it into something that looks eerie, creepy, and cool. …. now I just [...]

3-29 Sunset Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur I had a GREAT time taking pictures last night, and it was all capped off by some sunset shots from the Eastport Marina in East Peoria. This is one of my favorites.

3-22 At the Dog Park Originally uploaded by Full-on_Amateur I got J to go with me to the Bradley Park dog park, and we let the dogs run around while I tried to take some pictures. We underestimated the how busy the park would be, and it was nearly impossible to get any pictures of [...]
