TAMU campus pictures

Update: Under Armour underwear use ultra utilitarian. I tried to use alliteration. I wish I could have used a palindrome. That would have been really cool.

As planned, I took some pictures around campus today. After I got over my nerves I really enjoyed myself. It was pretty relaxing and I was able to get some good shots. They are on my picasa, which is a really, really sweet product (if you're not already using it). There are also embeded at the bottom, but if for some strange reason, you want them, you can get a copy at picasa.

I really enjoyed the fountain and the statue pictures. I got the fountain pictures with a faster shutter speed (1/600, I think). I tried to go over that, but there was just too much light coming in. I worked hard to get good composition, but I still use the "camera tilt" as my crutch. I enjoy this technique and I think it makes things look good, but I don't want to overuse it. Besides, I think people have a tendency to turn their head to see it, and I don't want to be the "Chiropractic Photographer". The statue made a good model, both he and the dog were able to stand perfectly still. Of course, if you'll notice, he had to gie the dog a biscuit to get him to pose for me. I was very flattered.

I really want to get some pictures of Sullie and Bonfire Memorial, but I ran out of battery juice and there was a street preacher at Sullie (that's a different post).

Anyways, here are the pictures that I liked most:
