I was walking to my moms work on Friday with my friend Dakota. I had my camera that I forgot in my locker for the past two days and was trigger hungry to start taking pictures again. We stopped a few times to let me take pictures of things that caught my eye when we finally stopped in front of this house. It was cloudy out so their was no contrast between the shade and sun. The house had a lot of plants that were over growing over the stairs up to the front door. I stopped and took a plan old picture of the stairs. They looked cool all cracked and stuff and i always wanted to take a picture of them. Then I got an idea. I moved up closer to the stairs and placed my camera against the all of it. When I got home I know that this was an abstract pictures because there is nothing really defining which way is up or down. So I rotated it on to its side and liked what I saw. So these are stairs that are sideways. I never really noticed the pink flower petals that are on them when i was taking the picture or even the little plant growing from the side. I really like this picture. I think I used a slowish shutter speed like an 1/80. Somewhere around that.  I think my ISO may have been a 200-400, possibly. Anyways I like it a lot!

I'm on my way home and its about close to seven. I'm just staring out the window and looking at the river and i see this bush with pink flowers all over next to the river side. It was just on bush. but the way it look with the dark rushing water and the green all around it making its pink more notice able. I would have tried tog get a picture of it but I forgot to get my camera out of my locker after school so I guess I just have to drive on by. I would have used a slower shutter speed because it was dark out and to get the movement of the water rushing my and giving it a soft look.

I was on my way to Connecticut to go see my little cousins first communion. It was around ten on a Saturday and we were on the highway. it was really cloudy and foggy outside. I was staring out at the mountains and saw the fog flouting off the mountain side. Sense were on the highway you cant really pull over on the side of the road to stop and take pictures. I mean what if someone decided to hit me! Yeah no. but anyways it liked the way it was lifting off the mountain. I would have used a faster shutter speed and a higher ISO to capture every detail of the fog kind of curling away from the mountain side.

On monday night I went to a Rihanna consort in Boston. It was around seven thirty when we started to head over to the TD Garden where the consort was being held. There was this building that was collapsing in on its self. The sun was going down and I really liked the way the light was hitting the building. The building was next to the water so I think it would have been good contrasting colors between the blue of the water and the sun lighting up the red bricks. The building also had some other colors on it, like green and red, there was white from the rubble. We went inside TD Garden and ended up going on the top floor where we got a better view of the building. My friends mom was taking pictures of all of us with the water behind us. When she was done i turned to my friend and asked her if i could see her phone. She asked me why and I said I wanted to take a picture of the building. I didn't bring my camera because I didn't want to stress over having to protect it.  Then she got mad at me saying that we were here to watch the consort and not take pictures and stormed off. The consort didn't start till three and a half hours later so im sure we had enough time to stop and take a picture that would have only taken about ten seconds.

Yesterday I had to go to Springfield for my confirmation class. I had to be around five thirty-ish. We were driving on this back road behind this large apartment building and I saw this cool little dam. I wished I had my camera because i would have asked my mom to pull over so i could take a picture. If I did have my camera I would have used a slower shutter speed, though i wouldn't have had like a tripod with me I think there was something kind of thing i could have set it done on, i could have implosive with some books that I had in the car.
