So as of two weeks ago, i am officially graduated from high school and i have half-way transitioned into real life. I just finished filling out my course schedule for my first semester at college. wow. As many of my watchers have probably noticed, i have been a little snap happy with my camera. With the 4th of July fireworks and birds and flowers i am in HEAVEN! i cannot believe how comfortable the swallows have gotten with me. i stood for about an hour right next to their house where they have three half-grown chicks. they used to constantly dive bomb me but now they just ignore me. it is AWESOME! i also discovered that spiders, while scary as hell, are amazing subjects to photograph... sort of. with my macro lens' focus, i have to get within 4 inches of a subject. slightly terrifying when that involves essentially placing my camera in the web. Anyways, here are a few of the deviations i have recently uploaded.
