My boss asked me to keep an eye on campus and get ready for the changing of fall foliage colors. Last week I went out a dreary overcast day and was able to get some stuff I liked. I should probably note that since I'm not working for a newspaper I'm able to help things along a little bit in photoshop. These images have their saturation boosted about 30%, but the color was still pretty good in person.
I've been wanting to post to the blog here recently but a lot of what I've been shooting is podium events and classroom type stuff. I knew I had stuff laying around the archive that I hadn't posted I just couldn't figure out what it was. These are all images from the move-in day here at Virginia Tech. It was fun watching all the different families, one mother talked to me while leaning on a refrigerator and mocked some other parents for being too clingy. The original intent of the assignment was to document the football team help students move in. I watched as some jumped in and were a genuine help, but others found the local TV station and commandeered a microphone.
I'm a few weeks behind on blogging, but I'm trying to get caught up. I shot my first Virginia Tech football game 2 weeks ago and I was surprisingly nervous. I'd like to think I handle pressure well but for some reason I got kind of giddy/nervous about shooting a football team that doesn't lose every game for three years. My initial thought was, "bring earplugs next time." It was extremely loud down on the field and it was chaos. So much happened and I was trying to get my bearings. I'm looking forward to the next game when I have a better idea of what to expect.
During my first couple of weeks I got the chance to shoot the Agricultural Technology program at Virginia Tech. The two-year program is for students that decided to go to school after graduating high school, but chose not to attend a four-year university. Many are learning skills to take back to a farm.
Saturday I went to Bedford Virginia with the Corps from Virginia Tech. The idea came out of a picture I had seen on the daily Virginia Tech email and I was excited about it. It wasn't as visual as I'd hoped, but military in uniforms do make form some clean images.
