Trying this out as a photoblog. I'm experienced enough to shoot on manual, green enough to have no clue how to use Lightroom. Thanks for stopping by.

An eclipse I tried to shoot this summer. This was my first time using a telephoto for long exposures and it was a STRUGGLE, but looking back I actually like this and some of the other pictures I wrote off as fails.

A blurry picture of the moon being darkened during a lunar eclipse. There are duplicate ghost images of the moon due to camera lens shake.

Third bird picture in a row, technically speaking.

Ballerina pulling off a move called a Firebird.

A ballerina leaping straight up with one foot arced behind her back with the other straight out in front of her. The move is known as a fire bird. The dancer is wearing a purple outfit and is performing the move in a garden.

I promise I didn't crank up the saturation, these olives were incredibly colorful. Taken at the weekly farmers market in Alaçati.

Several buckets filled mostly to the brim with different kinds of olives. One bucket in particular is a deep purple.

According to our tour guide there are over 3,500 mosques in Istanbul. These are two of them.

Two mosques, one in the foreground and the other in the background on the right. They are built of light colored stone and blue roofs with a gold spire on the larger domes. In addition to the domes there are three minarets visible.

I like this picture but it makes me laugh when I think about how moody it looks, but IRL this guy was probably playing Candy Crush on his phone.

The innkeeper at the hotel I was staying at call her Zeityn, which mean olive in Turkish.

Her likes include bread and cheese and pets. Dislikes include but are not limited to pets that last a millisecond too long.

Taken earlier this summer for a photo projects class. The nail polish is "Not Today Satan" by Mooncat and it is a 10/10. I made a bubbles recipe that was strong enough to hold in my hand, very fun.
