Last Night's Sunset!
Introduction to Photography!
And here's some background information on my interest in photography.
I've always been interested in many art centered subjects and I've always loved taking pictures. I haven't ever had any photography classes, and I only own a regular 12.1 mega pixel point and shoot camera. However, I do plan on soon getting a 16.1 mega pixel camera and possibly start taking photography classes!
Recently I've been more and more interested in ways to make pictures more than just, well, pictures! It fascinates me to find new, inventive ways of angling pictures to make them seem more life-like or awe-inspiring! I hope you will enjoy all of my writings on the subject and the pictures I share! I can't wait to start learning more about photography and sharing some of the things I learn with you! Here are some more pictures that I've taken...

Introduction to Model Cars!
Here's some background on my interest in Model Car Building!
This was my first car. It's a 2006 Mustang GT that my brother gave me.
But, before I talk about the car, let's go back to how I got interested in Model Cars... I've always loved cars! My dad and brother have always been big on cars and it was passed onto me very quickly.
When I met my best friend, who is also really into cars, he was just getting into model car building himself. I had gotten a model car as a gift a few years before, but I had never gotten interested in it until I met him. He was the one who got me interested as he himself was just getting interested. Ever since, we've loved model building! We always keep up on each other's models.
As I was saying before, my first model was the one above. I chose blue instead of grey for the exterior and designed my own interior. Here are some pictures of the car...
After finishing my first model my friend told me about a model contest at our local Hobby Town USA store, and the next spring, I entered! I won First Place! Which actually is technically second because the score Grand, First, Second, then Third. That was in 2010. But my best friend got Grand with his Shelby Cobra painted chrome green! Shortly after, I finished my next model...
A1932 Ford Coupe. I also decided to paint this the way I wanted, even though the directions didn't actually say any color. I wanted to do Sunset Orange, but I couldn't find it sadly... But Dark Red was the next best! After finishing this one(minus the decals which I added later), I sort of got disinterested in the hobby. However, that didn't last very long... Probably about half a year ago, I got back into it and finally finished this one by adding the decals! Here's some more pictures of this one...
I just recently finally got the chance to enter this one! And this time I got grand! I was really happy! I'll be getting a trophy soon(I'll post pictures)! Next I completed a Dodge Viper, but I haven't had the chance to photograph that one yet... So on to my most recent one...
My personal favorite, my 1970 Plymouth Superbird! I finished it just a few weeks ago, actually. I love this one because it's Lime Green for one! It's also definitely my best work! And, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird is my favorite car ever! I love the rarity, the sleekness, the wing, and pretty much everything about them! Plus I have this thing for '70 style cars! Another one I decided to paint my own choice of color! The interior doesn't have much to it, but hey. Here are more pictures...
Well, now you're up to speed on my Model Car interests! You can see the full galleries for these cars on my facebook page! I'll have a post up soon about my interest in photography! Thanks for reading! Until next time!
