day with the guriles

Before this little adventure, I did some research and posted it under my page 'tips and guidelines,' but I contacted my sister and wrote down some ideas and guidelines so that I wouldn't be completely lost during this shoot. Yes its all an art and type of experiment, but its nice to not be completely lost. So I did some playing around and figured some of my settings out. I also looked at some photography ideas, trying to get some inspiration on different frames and shots.

We did went to Kildonan Park at around 3-3:30 ish and we just walked around and had fun, took photo's and just were adventures. Climbed a bridge, tried to feed ducks. We brought some different outfits and just ended up change somewhat discreetly behind trees, and just having a good time! My Pentex started having some focusing problems as the sun went down, but I wasn't too concerned because I thought I got some decent shots. Yes I got to learn how to figure out my aperture settings and some shutter speed stuff. Used some different automatic settings, and even did some manual focusing. But it was also a great memory.

I'm sorry these too so long to finally get up. I've been super busy lately and I haven't had time to edit them, and upload them. But here they are.

They are all up on my flicker.

coming soon

Everything ended up going quite well on Sunday. I still have to edit my photos so I will get them up as soon as I can, but I did notice as I was uploading my pictures that the top halves of a lot of my shots ended up being a bit blurry. I don't know why this happened, I was sure my lens was clean and that my camera was focused when I took the pictures. A couple weeks ago I did have a few problems with my Pentax. It kept glitching and making funny noises and not focusing, so I ended up turning it on manual settings so that I could still use my camera. But then before I went out on Sunday I tried it out, to see what I would have to end up doing for later that day, and it seemed fine. No glitching, no noises, and it was focusing on automatic. So I'm not really sure what happened but I still got some good shots and the whole things was so fun! I talked to my sister Tamara about it, in that it used to be her camera, and she said that it's probably getting just getting old. I asked her if I should go get it checked and have it professionally cleaned, but that is just another expense. I'm probably just going to end up leaving it for now, clean it myself, and if it continues to have problems then I'll cross that bridge when it comes.
As I said before I will be uploading them onto my Flickr account as soon as possible.
