Photo story: Success!
Posted: April 07, 2008
Well I finally got a photo story done. It’s not amazing or anything, but it’s good enough. It is of course another installment to the Gainesville Explorer series. The photo story is about the Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail.
I’m only just starting to pick up photography. I know I have the eye for it, it’s just the technique I need to hone in on now. I took a photojournalism class a while back, and I did OK.
In this particular photo story, I tried to use some video techniques—multiple, sequential pictures that gave the illusion of motion. Hopefully I’ll have more time to work on this.
On an unrelated note, it has been raining in Gainesville for days and days. It doesn’t look like it’s ever going to let up. It’s put a real damper on outdoor videos and pictures. I never got a chance to shoot that video Friday, and these pictures were shot in really crummy, about-to-rain light.
On another unrelated note, Rafael Nadal, my tennis hero other than Gael Monfils, lost in the finals at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami to Nikolay Davydenko. It was a bummer.
