2009-2011 Comparison/Experiences

It's almost years end, and in one month, it'll have been two years since I begun this whole photography thing. In my last post, I said how I would dig through some of my old photos and then compare them to some of my more recent photos, in an attempt to see how much I've learned over the course of a year. Some of these first photos were taken were downtown Jacksonville at the Landing in 2009 over the course of two days. Yeah, I went there twice with my first camera, a Gateway MC-42 4.2 megapixel camera.

When I got my current camera in December (Polaroid i1236), it was like a huge upgrade for me. Still needing the practice though, it's true what they say about how the photographer makes the camera, not the other way around. Then/Summer-Winter 2010

Event Period/Summer 2011

Unfortunately, it was Rock on The River II that my camera seemed to have developed a smudge of dirt inside the lens, so within every photo, I get dark spots that are hard to edit out. I can either edit them, or use them to blend with the scenery.

I wasn't going to contribute these, considering I wasn't only going for my own leisure, but to practice considering I only get to practice with fireworks once every six months. However, we were short on photos, so I decided to throw my share in.
