PC .2 ~ Shutter Speed

Last year I took another photography class. Well, its actually the same photography class that I took before but some of the assignments were a little different. I've been meaning to share these pictures with you but I never got around to it.  (i just checked my previous posts...turns out, I already shared with you the first assignment.)
My second assignment was obviously a shutter speed assignment. For those of you who don't know what a shutter speed is.... google it. I had to turn in three stop action shots, three motion blur shots, and one panning. again, if you don't know what that is, i recommend you google it. I would explain it to you but I'm terrible at explaining things! 
anyways. 
enjoy

lately...



Okay, lets do some catching up..
I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been editing pictures. I am super behind on editing pictures. I've been behind before but I've never been this behind since I started taking pictures and its kind of overwhelming and I hate editing (with a passion) and editing my pictures is frustrating for me because i think they all suck and I just have to put up with what I have. + Also, I'm done with school for the semester (yay!), but I start summer school next in a week and a half (boo!). + My boyfriend works like crazy and hardly ever has time off. + I haven't been writing songs, cuz they all suck. I need to learn to be okay with writing songs that suck and just keep doing it until I come up with one that I think is pretty good. + I did, however, try to record me singing a cover song yesterday. I took so many freakin takes and they all pretty much sucked. I kept getting interrupted which was super frustrating. + I've been trying to work out, but after about a week or so I feel pretty unmotivated. + I've been reading my books and I've almost read 80% of the books I own (which is my current goal). My overall goal is to read all the books I own (I have about 50 left) and when I do that I will reward myself with rereading the Series of Unfortunate Events. I'm dying to read those books, so I'm pretty motivated. I just have so many left to read and its gonna take me forever. + I am in desperate need of a job, but no one will hire me. I currently have a lead on a job, but idk if I will get it. Prayers would be awesome. + Well this has been an update from me to you. + I look at my blog every day and think that I should probably post something, but I don't have any pictures to post. 

Which is better, b/w? or color? or abstract?

two for today



My grandma gave me this. 
She bought it in the 60's
I'm in love with pearls and its the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
The setting is extremely unique and I get all kinds of compliments on it.
Its very special to me. 
One day I will give it to one of my daughters.

we interrupt the regularly scheduled program to bring you important news...


I know this is a blog where I dump photos, but I'm also a musician
and I just started a youtube channel where I can post my own personal
music as well as covers of awesome songs and THIS is a link
to my first song on youtube. (spoiler - I didn't write this song)
I just wanted you all to know. and I had to post it somewhere
because I don't currently have a facebook. 
thanks for being awesome

all leaves fall in the end.













I have a love/hate relationship with everything about school. 
I love that i have something to do. I hate that its school
I love having some place to go. I hate that its school.
I love meeting people there. I hate doing school
I love that its cheep. I hate that its secular.
Sometimes I love school. But usually i just hate it.
