The Trip and Creation Museum



















those are wax figures, by the way. =D








Alright! Round one of picture insanity!
These are photos of the trip over, our hotel room view, and the Creation Museum. Also, I probably won't be back on until Christmas Eve. When I do get back on, I'll post some videos...I've got a lot! =D

In Christ,

That's awesome that you went to the creation museum! We went the week it opened! We thought it funny, but the model for the "Adam" manequin (sp?) is our friend's brother! What did you think of the Dino exibit? We didn't get to see it as it wasn't open when we went.

Have a merry CHRISTmas!

Hi Rachel!
I really haven't taken any classes or anything...just learned on my own. =D
I like close-ups and "action" photos (our horses running, jumping etc.) Naturally, it's important to use the right setting on the camera and use different positions in supporting it while snapping the shot. (I usually rest it on my knee or on some sort of stable surface while shooting close-ups) and for action, like our horses running, I follow them with my camera. This usually results in the horse being clear and the background blurry, which is a nice touch. Other than that, I really don't have much to give you...it just takes a lot of practice and deleting blurry pictures. =D I usually take several (up to five or six) shots of my subject and then go back through them and pick the best ones. Another thing that helps me is to zoom in on the subject and see how clear it is; on one zoom, if it's still clear, it's a good picture; two zooms, and it's clear...WONDERFUL picture! =D
My camera also has a "grid" setting, where a grid appears on the screen; this helps to balance out your photos to a good position. For example, I was taking a picture of Silkie (our horse) and the sun rising; using the grid, I balanced out Silkie on one side and the sun on the other, but then moved the camera around until the sun was a little off to the left of Silkie and created a silhouette type of picture.
That's really all I have! I'm sorry that I can't give you any more tips...if you can call this a tip. =D

In Christ,
~Miss Hannah
