This is the beautiful picture I chose this week for my blog. However, for some reason it looks extremely ugly when I upload it. I don't really understand why - this is definitely not how it looked in photoshop. I must have done something wrong I guess, but I wrote everything down that I needed to do before uploading to the web and I followed my list exactly. Nevertheless, this picture is of my friend Claire and a random parrot that was hanging out at Elm Park. Just kidding, the parrot actually belonged to a man who was letting everyone hold him. I also got to hold him but since I had all of my camera stuff with me (on my shoulders and whatnot), he put the parrot on my head. That was certainly an interesting feeling.
But I do really like this picture. She hates having candid pictures taken of her, "solo shots" is what she calls them, but she did hold the parrot for me because I wanted a picture. I'm pretty surprised that I got her and the parrot in focus and it looks pretty good. I had a focusing problem last year with film cameras so I'm glad digital seems to be working out. I'm just really excited to take more pictures, this was from my first day of shooting. Tomorrow, I'm going to Yankees game in NYC so hopefully I can take some fun ones there, but it's unfortunately supposed to rain. I guess we'll see.
I'm sorry my first picture post doesn't look better but I'm going to figure it out for next week I hope :) Enjoy your weekend! :)
I assume this was before your lens going down. It would have been nice to be able to see the bird a bit better. I think your complaint is about how dull the image became when posted to the web....will tell you have to fix than on Monday.
