This last camping trip to Donner Lake proved to be quite spectacular. I like the outdoors! After I gave my camera to Christina, I've decided to work with an older digital camera that isn't as great as my other one. However, I was surprised that the photographs came out pretty well.
This past weekend, Mike and I drove down to So Cal to do some awesome diving and teach a couple of classes as well. I was really excited since it was the first time I'll be using my Sea & Sea DX1200 underwater camera. The camera equipment cost so much that I was wondering if the the outcome of the photos will be worth it for the price I paid. On top of that, the talk about the bright orange fish called the Garibaldi (California's State Fish) littered the whole island got me excited for days on end. The fish is such a bright orange despite the fact that the first colour to disappear underwater is red. Even at 30 feet, the fish is still bright orange. Some of my friends and students commented that it looked like I Photoshopped the image. Nope, sorry to disappoint you all, but these pictures are unaltered. They are taken only with the camera and flash/strobe lighting.
Some of my photos are available for sale on Etsy.com under the username of deebunny77. They are only available on 5x7s at $10.00 a piece. Some are altered and some are not.
I love the rain. It's April in Northern California. Normally, the rain is scarce as soon as Spring arrives. Yet the saying "April shower bring May flowers" came true at the beginning of this month. I was ecstatic upon hearing the raindrops on my window and waking up to a cloudy and wet morning was the highlight of the day.
As lugged my camera around on the wet weekend as we drove around town to pick up some take-out food (we decided not to cook at all) whilst watching a flick on the home theatre. Rainbows littered the sky as we drove back to my house for movie night.
I woke up this morning feeling really stressed. I've failed an exam in organic chemistry and I have another one coming up this Tuesday, not to mention I've got to get some of my merchandise finished and posted for sale before Spring Break. When I arrived at work today, I've been really irritated and tired. I though the Matcha Green Tea Blast with Energy boost from Jamba Juice would cure my unfriendly mood. Sadly, it did not and I wished the day would end quickly.
