A Night at UNR...

Since I was up in Reno, I figured not only could I check out the campus for cool pictures, but I could also try to capture some interesting night shots. I ended up finding some lit up sculptures and trees and tried to use the lights as a neat effect, like making the trees look ghostly :) My favorite ended up being in the reflection of one of the big windows looking into the library - I actually made it look like there was a tree inside! :) Although I was trying to get better at taking pictures in the dark, I feel like I kinda cheated, since there were lights and it made it ten million times easier for me. I ended up with some cool pictures either way though. Oh yeah, and the last one was my quick attempt at being Andy Warhol for the day...or rather, night. :)

 

  

  

 

Fail.

Epic fail for Feb 27. I apologize. I was going to bring my camera to the second of my boyfriend's shows, but it was extremely crowded and I didn't want the camera getting knocked out of my hand or touched by people. I did, however, bring my little point and shoot camera, so I still got at least a few pictures :) Here are the only two worth showing...ha.

 

  

This is Kristen and Mario, my friends...I just happened to catch a really cute moment :)
 

Tahoe Show!

So, my pictures for Feb 26 were taken at one of my boyfriend's shows up in Tahoe. It is really hard to shoot in low light without flash! I survived only because of the lens I was using (50mm), and only because it was a 1.4. That allowed me to get light on them, but the trade off is that I had a really difficult time focusing since just a tiny area was in focus and they kept moving. GR. Either way, I got a couple of cool shots, here they are :)
