Photo of the Day
Tonight we walked around campus a bit after dinner enjoying the views with very little interruption. There is a photowalk on June 30th around the world celebrating the 1st anniversary of Google+. I don’t post on there as much as I should, but I really wanted to be part of it. The closest walk is in Chicago, but with plans that night I can’t attend it. That was when it dawned on me that I could possibly host one here at Purdue. I have never been on a photowalk so hosting one seems like a big first step. Would anyone near here be interested? I may post it tomorrow on Google+ to gauge interest.
Technical Data
This shot is pretty simple. I put the -2, 0, and +2 exposures into Photomatix to get the tonemapping that I liked. Because of the harsh light I really did not like any of the individual pictures so I left it as is. Not much to report here tonight.
Interesting Fact
We found the Armstrong Hall of Engineering open and decided to walk in. I knew I had a killer shot ahead of me so I set up for a shot. One person was in the grand entrance when I was setting up but she was out of the frame. As I was leveling my tripod with way too much care about thirty kids came into the building. I quickly realized that they planned on doing something right in my shot. I snapped three quick frames, but they really did not turn out. Sometimes you have to get a shot first, and then set up correctly. I did find a great shot for another day though, and I can use what I learned today to my advantage.
