Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in Kalispell Montana at the Blue Angels Air Show, July 2005. I had just purchased my very first digital camera a small Olympus 12x zoom point and shoot. The pictures did not get any bigger than 600 mb. The camera was not easy to use, getting objects moving at a 100 miles per hour was almost impossible. I figured out that it was all in the timing so I rested on a fence post nearby, zoomed in and started clicking as fast as I could, moving quickly along with the Truck and plane. I was so excited to find this on my camera when I got home!!

Time

The Sun was straight up and the day was very hot. We all went home with a sun burn.

Lighting

clear blue sky with the sun High in the sky, an haze was created by engine smoke.

Equipment

2004 sliver Olympus 12x zoom point and shoot.

Inspiration

I absolutely Loved the By-Plane and the Rocket Truck. It was my first camera, my first experience with photography and digital cameras. I am an Artist, I shoot pictures mainly for subjects for future art projects and videography.

Editing

Hardly any, I removed a little of the haze with the contrast setting.

In my camera bag

I am only a point and shoot girl, at the moment my dream is to have a Canon Rebel or a Nikon. My main interest is art so my technical side of my brain is not quite as evolved as the artistic side. Right now I am using a Panasonic Lumix FZ35 18x zoom with light filter lenses. Hopefully I will Save up for enough for the real deal.

Feedback

Get up and go to events and places where life is happening. Be prepared and equipped, events happen so fast and become a lost memory.
