Maize maze and such

It’s that time of the year again. The leaves are changing. The pumpkins are…pumpking. And the corn is doing whatever it does. In Sikeston, MO at Beggs Family Farm, they have what may be the best corn maze ever. Every year, they change the path in their maze. Their maze is nothing short of an artistic corn creation. This year, the maze was designed to look like a Ford Model T with the Ford logo. Previous years designs include a […]

A second stab at time-lapse

I’m pretty addicted already…AND I’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN! I decided to try more time-lapse today. Well, tonight. I attached my camera onto my car. I hooked up hard power via a power inverter to both my camera and my laptop. There were also steel safety cables just in case something went wrong. I wanted to shoot at two or three frames per second (fps) but my computer’s intervalometer only allowed me to shoot down to five fps. I started in […]

I set all of the settings on the computer screen. After I was content with my capture settings, I […]

The day was filled with […]

Bike Patrol

Katie had a portrait assignment for her color photography class. Of course you immediately try to think of interesting people. Maybe they have deep wrinkles. Possibly someone that wears extravagant clothing. Instead, Katie found a biker. Her model rides a Harley. It was only fitting to shoot it outside a local Harley dealership against their colored fence. With her trusty AE-1 and a few rolls of Kodak UltraColor, she got to work. You know me though. I had to shoot […]
