The Big Blizzard At Night!

The flash on this one REALLY made this frame look like a snowglobe using my wide angle fisheye lens!






























This blizzard was really terrible! I couldn't even stay out in it for very long.

























Most of the frames I got, I couldn't even use.

This is it:







Gloomy New England Snow Storm

This was 1 of the 1st snow storms we had in 2013.

You can;t see the falling snow, because it wouldn't catch it. But, I shot these in the snow, and it kept getting into my eyes.

























Here are some other experimental ones with a Fisheye:








I really don;t know why the scripting got all weird here... and I have no idea how to fix it. I've tried everything I could think of, and I give up. *throws up hands*

New England Snow Globe Photos

Snow globe photography in New England

I'd purchased a Japanese wide angle fisheye lens last year, specifically because I wanted to shoot in the snow. I'm still learning it, and need more practice with it. But, I like experimenting. It's a macro, lens but I like edgeier ways to play with photography.

I'd seen other photographers play with things for winter, and I was very inspired by that.

So, here you can see how it's fun for winter, because it makes your world look like it's captured inside of a snow globe.

Huo Guo (Chinese Hot Pot) Chinese New Year 2013 (poverty edition)

I still love publishing my photography onto my blog here. I just kept putting it off for job searching stuffs. But, I hope to publish more of my Autumn and snow stuff.

I've also gotten back into vlogging (video blogging) again, because Google sweetened & upgraded my contracts last year.

Anyways....

This was probably THE WORST EVER Chinese New Year for me EVER! Utterly poor.... as in poverty... not a very good Christmas either... but then again 2012 was probably my WORST EVER birthday as well... whatever, can;t get my hopes up for anything anymore, and there's another economic crash coming somewhere on the Horizon. Iceberg strait ahead!

Meanwhile, we still need to eat....

So, here is just some brief photos I took from my very, very poor, impoverished Chinese New year this year. :-/

But, at least we got to have some huo guo (Chinese Hot Pot)
