This is my first blogpost. It's going to be short and sweet, as I'm pretty busy with other things right now. I opened this blog as a means to post my digital photography, and I intend to do just that. 
This photo was taken early one morning, and provides a nice view of our boat. I particularly like 'beam' of sunlight coming across the water in this photo. It adds a nice focus point to the photo, and it seperates the side of the photo with the boat from the side with just water.
This next photo is a two photo montage of an old ship leaving a channel. The lighting in the photo of the ship was pretty poor, so I replaced the background with a sunrise photo from earlier that morning. My personal opinion is that the product of the two photos ended up being my single best capture of the voyage.
Well I think that this is enough for a first post. I'll do my best to keep this blog as up-to-date as possible. If nothing else, I hope that posting here will help me to document my progress as a photographer over the coming months.
Therefore, here is my first blogpost photo. This was taken behind my parents' house on Dec. 16. The gas company (I don't know which company) is putting a well in behind our place, so I went down there and took a few snaps. I really like the way that this photo turned out, so it gets the honour of being my first posted.
A little about myself: I am a 23 year old mechanical engineer. I'll be graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in April 07 (so if you want to get technical, I'm not an engineer quite yet). I have been doing digital photography as a hobby since June of 2006. I use a Pentax *ist DL camera for nearly all of my photos. Most of my work is done outdoors, primarily of places and things, but I have done a few photoshoots of people.
The few shots of people that I do have are primarily of family and friends before/during dances. I won't post all of my portraits/candids here (that would take forever) but I will put up a few of my most recent.
Here are two photo's of my littlest brother, Darin. He's a ballroom dancer, and the photo on the left shows him getting his groove on with his partner Beth-Ann at a benefit dance. The right photo shows him with his homecoming date (Darin is a highschool freshman) to this year's homecoming dance.
One of the most exciting photo opportunities that I've had thus far was a 3-day trip across the Great Lakes on a sailboat. I've posted a few of my photos from that trip here below:
