Object Lighting

Get to school this morning and my teacher just yells at us to grab a can and gogogogogo shoot so we got in our groups and fled. This is the final project that we came up with I like the depth of field and the water droplets on the can. We tried haha. Not a ton of editing just cropping mostly. Well there you go kids, lighting a can.

ABC's And What Not

In lab the other day we were assigned to go out and shoot every letter of the alphabet and then we had to go in photoshop and put them into a 10x8 or 8x10 canvas. Not as easy as it looks kids. It was stressful haha and we have another one due in less than a week with naturally occurring letters in nature and stuff haha. Well I guess I should start that!

A Photo A Day

So Im trying to post a picture on my blog every day and I know that its going to get tough but Im going to try any ways. This is a rusty 'ole fence that was covering a window when my two friends and I went on a photo safari. In all honesty Im not good at lightroom or photoshop but I decided to mess around. I uploaded all of the pictures I took that day into a catalogue in lightroom and just messed around with a few of them and I liked this one the best so I decided to post it. Im so exhausted from my first week of summer school for photography I can't see straight haha. I hope who ever decides to follow my blog enjoys the stuff that I post. Oh well, until tomorrow.

Self Promo Shot

This boys and girls is an assignment I got today. It was a self promo shot and we had to set the cameras timer and make up the composition and everything. It was annoying haha. One i don't really like pictures of myself, much less ones that I have to take personally. I really want to get a 50mm lens, off subject but thats okay! I guess I'm getting into the groove of this summer photo school thing. I don't really have a choice though haha. Failure is not an option. I hope that I'm getting better at this blogging thing. Well people this is me, Chelsea Raye, self promo shot. Enjoy i suppose haha.

Sad Day and Rule of Thirds

Im having a really rough day today. We got our first project for our digital class and I failed to turn mine in. It was a rule of thirds project so we had to capture three different photographs and then put them together with layers on photoshop. I came home to my apartment and took pictures of my LokiBear (duhh) and then some of his food and his toy then rushed back to school to get it finished. Well i go to town working on it and I realize the time and start freaking out so I save my image and go to turn it in...cant find the picture. Had to save it again and i go to turn it in right as the clock stikes 12 and the submission form was closed. *sigh* Needless to say that I had an emotional break down that I just got a zero on my first project and no one even got to see it so I am posting it on here. I hope who ever sees it enjoys it as much as I do.

Im New Here

Hello gorgeous peoples my name is Chelsea Raye Strickland and this is my blog where I am going to share my thoughts and photos. I try to find beauty in everything that  I see everyday. For example, today at the coffee shop with the beautiful barista boy ;). Seriously though haha, I hope that I get better at this blogging thing I have never tried it before and for a little but my posts are probably going to be silly. OH YEA and I have a dog and his name is Loki and you will probably see him a lot on here. That is my precious Loki Bear. I just got this Macbook computer so I don't have a lot of photos on here sadly. More to come soon!
