Denver Amateur Weekly Photo: June 2012

What's this blog all about?

While sitting in the DIA airport with a popular photography magazine in hand, I read about an amateur photographer who wanted to share his photos with others and in return have them share their photos with each other. The idea of having a blog where myself and others who enjoy taking pictures could share those images, while at the same time offer up suggestions, ideas and techniques sounded fun to me. So I decided to create Denver Amateur Weekly Photo where everyone is welcome to share their ideas, techniques and photos.

Here's how it works: Simply post your blog each week with a picture you would like to share (don't worry, there is no obligation to do it every week, but the more you do it, the more fun we make the site). When adding your picture, tell us what camera you used, angle you took the picture, the location of the picture, date / time and the camera settings / techniques you've used. That simple.....its all about having FUN.

IMPORTANT - if using a picture of a person, please make sure you have their permission before posting.

Denver's Underground Artists

Joey and I decided to head out for a day of shooting in the most; well, un-touristy of areas here in Denver. I have always liked the works by these unnamed artists that like to put their work on the side's of boxcars, bridges and alley walls. This is one of those pieces.

Just Joey

I came across this picture I took of Joey a few weeks ago. Good natural lighting and it turned out really good. I had Joey's permission to post.

Stormy Wednesday Night

I am a huge fan of nature and the wonderness and beauty that is offers and represents. This pic, although probably a little over rated, but, this is of one of my favorite topics that nature has to offer; storms! This image is a pre-storm setting and I love it because of the sun rays that shine through the clouds and they way it makes the "puffy" and "cotton-like" sky shimmer with all that this gorgeous planet has to offer. Maybe a bit sappy right now, but you've got to love it. BTW-I will try to work on getting better pics of the wonderful storms that Colorado has to offer, so hopefully this is the first of many.
