Super Sized Lunar Eclipse

December 9, 2011 in East Lansing, Michigan, Recommended Information

Have you picked out your spot to look at or photograph the blood red moon tomorrow morning before dawn? Trust me, I’ll be worth it. Set you alarms early, have a bag with coffee, food, and warm clothes packed already, and roll out of bed to see it! The moon already looks larger than usual.

Here is a photo I took during the last one visible to me in 2008:

Fountain Droplets at Sunset

November 16, 2008 in East Lansing, Macro and Abstract, Michigan, Water

Fountain Droplets at Sunset, originally uploaded by Allie.P.

Sometimes in order to find interesting pictures I find i have to tell myself to stop thinking. On this photo outing to some of the gardens on Michigan State University’s campus, i kept looking for that perfect flower with the perfect light, and it wasnt until i sat down to take a break that I saw the cool water droplets I could shoot.

This is actually a large fountian in the middle of the Hoticulture Gardens, and every shot I took of this looked completely different. I made sure my shutter speed was about 1/4000 and kept shooting at different angles. The little yellow circles at the top are actually another stream of water that was reflecting the light of the sunset behind the fountain. The moral of this photo, is to always experiment! I had no idea these shots would come out so interesting until I started to experiement and move around the scene :)

Fireworks Sisters

July 16, 2008 in East Lansing, Michigan

Fireworks Sisters, originally uploaded by Allie.P.

These fireworks were part of Lansing, Michigans show on the 4th of July. Firework photography doesn’t seem like one of those “hit or miss” adventures, but rather I think that almost every single picture can turn out great… it just might not be your style.

I thought that since I did not have a tripod this 4th of July, that my firework pictures may not turn out as great as I had hoped, but actually, the slight added blur from my hand shake actually created a neat surreal effect that I like better than that ‘frozen in motion’ picture you always seem to see.

It seems like “blurry” isnt really an option for firework photography, but instead, it turns into “abstract.” So for any of you thinking you dont have the right camera or dont have good enough equipment to get those firework shots… think again, you may be surprised!
