I live on the edge of a storm
I run through the rain to survive
I long for the end of a rainbow
I see pink skies above me
The clouds are moving away now
I live on the edge of a storm

Memorial Weekend Travels
Last weekend we were suppose to go visit my mommy because they were going to have this hus plig thing but it was cancelled because one of my far grand aunts passed away so they’re moving it to next weekend instead. So Ber and I headed to Great Falls to hang out with some of our friends. It was a nice get away, did nothing much, rest and went and saw some of the dams with the ‘ok’ falls. lol – ok they were ‘great’.

Filters: Graduated Neutral Density Filters
How come no one’s told me about these filters before?
Fellow photographers? Huh? Jk. I guess I should’ve expected that there was a way and should’ve just went out there and did the research myself but I guess too that I’m not that smart. AM from the Missoulian told me about these after he saw a comment that I made about some moon photos that I took and how I can’t capture the clouds if I have a fast shutter but can’t capture the moon’s details if I leave it open too long.
I guess I have to try them out and see if they really work for my proposition but I guess the kinds of shoots that I’ve been doing are what these filters are for. I can see myself using this for those landscapes with a strong forground and a bright background. You know which ones I’m talking aoubt – the ones of mine that have the light blue sky in the back or the faded mountain while everything in the foreground turns pitch black. That’s right. Too much light or not enough… hehehe.
I think I need to read up on more things if I plan to become really serious about shooting… which I do plan to do. Grr.. I have no strong attention to reading things that I think I already know… you know what I mean. I’ve stuck my nose in two or three photo books before and no luck… all that i have to show is from lots of trial and error…
Look at the following photos from the filter’s sight. that’s what I’ve been asking for all along. The only problem that I do see here is that part of the dark part of the filter is on top of the green tree tops causing it to be darker than i should be. But I bet – with a couple of more angles, this person would’ve gotten it right too.
