Yucky Blister

I apologize for the gross-ness of today’s picture, but I thought it was pretty relevant to the fireworks pictures I posted yesterday. I got this blister walking about a mile to the fireworks, and I have another one on my other ankle (it’s about half that size though). But it was mostly my fault – I didn’t wear socks with my shoes because I was in a rush out the door. I learned my lesson though. I have a very low tolerance for pain, so I’ve been trying to stay off my feet. Brent’s been putting peroxide and Neosporin on it for me. He takes such good care of me. Anyways, today’s post is all about my dedication to Project 365. Otherwise I wouldn’t have posted that gross picture of my blister. Lol.

Fireworks

So this picture was from last night, but I took so many cool firework pictures, and I wanted to show them off. I had my tripod with me, but there were sooooo many people, and no room to put out a tripod. So I just held the camera myself, which made the fireworks a little shaky, but some came out cool. I love this one because the closer you get to the bottom of the fireworks, the more they look like little hearts. It’s so cute. But anyways, I have one that has little 7 shapes, and a lot with just little swirly shapes. Last night was fun, but I ended up getting blisters on my feet because there were no parking spots closer than like, a mile to where we watched the fireworks. It was horrible. I wish we could have found somewhere away from all the people. That’s the only reason I hate going. I love watching fireworks, but when you’re shoulder to shoulder with a ton of strangers and people keep walking in front of you even though you have a damn camera pointed at the fireworks… *sigh* The things I go through for the sake of photography. Brent’s wonderful though, because he hates it just as much as I do, but he came along so I wouldn’t have to go all by myself. I love him. Hehe.

Oh, and I added a photo in my gallery of a cool looking grave I saw while we were walking to the fireworks. i was mostly trying out settings with my camera since I never take pictures outside. (In case you were wondering what it was and why I took it.)

And none of my pictures I put up today were edited in Photoshop. A few of them were small fireworks, so I edited them into one picture with a screen on the top layers. Other than that though, there’s no color changes or blurs or anything like that. Just so you know. =)

Sparkler Heart

Sparkler Heart

Brent took me out to Edenton to get some pics of the fireworks. I got some really good ones, but I want to try to combine some of them to make it look like there’s a bunch of fireworks going off at once… It might take me a while since I have almost 600 pics to go through, so tomorrow I’ll put them up. When we got home we took the sparklers out and made shapes and ended up with some awesome pics. This heart one was my favorite. Brent was making the heart with the sparkler. I like that you can’t even see that anyone was making it. It just looks like the heart is floating. Hehe. Anyways, tomorrow I will put up a few of my best firework pics and the rest of the sparkler pics. Happy Fourth of July everyone!!

Actually, I just noticed.. If you look real close when you have the image full size, you can kinda see Brent… he looks like a ghost. Lol

All Spun Up

Brent just recently replaced the strings on his guitar. I thought a close up of them looked cool. I’m still not feeling all that great today, so it’s definitely affecting my creativity, so sorry I don’t have a more interesting post. I am, however, looking forward to tomorrow night. I’m going to be messing around with my camera trying to take pics of fireworks. Hopefully I get at least one good shot.
