So I rarely go anywhere alone..personal issues , and this weekend was no exception. I woke up Saturday wanting to do something and take my camera out on a date. So I called a friend and set up a plan, to crash a few parties and take alot of pictures on the way.

First we went to breakfast..no pictures but coffee was delish. Tooks these pictures while riding shotgun.

 

 

 

 

Then we attempted to go to a local downtown Mardigras party but it hadnt really started just yet. I did have the opportunity to shoot a bit of downtown.

So we decided to go to the Strong Beer Festival in uptown Phoenix. This was absolutely fun and being able to drink beer from local breweries was awesome. I also found alot of drunk people, nice mustaches, lots of smiles and some little accidents on the way.

A few nights ago I was hired to do some pictures for an individual company. A special request was made for night luminous shots. Now night shots im still learning and while attempting to take these shots I became a bit frustrated because I couldn’t figure out if it was me, my camera or just the subject. So standing on the side of the road with my camera I started noticing that there was an awful lot of traffic right next to me and then LIGHT BULB I decided to take a break and shoot some of my own personal shots.

I’ve been seeing around blogs, internet and flickr the slow shutter speed car lights pictures; and dying to try them I decided to attempt this. I just slowed my shutter speed as much as I could and Voila! I came up with some pretty decent shots. To be quite honest though I wasn’t really trying to make them artful as much as I was trying to see if I could do it. So please be gentle when you review them as this is my first time actually trying this. Maybe next time Ill find a better place or angle to shoot these from. But I have to tell you I really like that tree in the middle it gives it a sense of standing still while everything else is moving. What do you think?
