Hello everyone!
I have a bunch of images to upload for everyone...

First is this dusty/dirty keyboard I found while I was cleaning out my closet. I thought it was a good way to try it out the macro shots, along with testing out my phones 13 megapixel camera(~4k resolution)


Next is a outdoors shot pretty late in the afternoon. I really wanted to get what I saw IRL, because the lighting, sky and other things made it a really nice shot that I wanted to get. In the end, my phone didn't seem to perform well in low light causing grain and a difference in color. The purple sky with a bunch of interesting clouds seemed to be completely washed out to a light blue.


While I was waiting for my bus ride home, I took a few pictures of the building I wait in front of. This spot seemed really interesting to me, although being a very shady place (Can't believe how many drug deals and other things I have seen)

Here is a picture of one of the rooms in my house, where a model train goes around along track screwed onto the walls. I thought this was a good shot to show DOF. (I was trying to figure out how to change that, but didn't really work out.



Getting home, I thought that this piece of art would look good in some photographs. I guess its nothing too special.

This picture is probably one of my favorite pictures that I have taken. My cat seems to be really photogenic, because of all the places and different poses that she has done recently. The thing that really got me was the highlights in the hair and he back-lighting (witch seems to make anything look a lot more interesting) The 4K resolution really made it stick out to me too.

A few weeks ago I was able to visit family down in Delaware. They live on a private airport (mostly just a huge open field)


Although this isn't a photograph, this is still an image of a video that I have been working on with a group of animators. If you can't tell, this is a animation of a very popular PC game Minecraft. I had to set up all the lighting and shaders myself. There are at least 20+ area lights that help fake the different lighting that happens in real life. (backlighting, light bouncing, ect.) For anyone who is interested with the software/programs I used: The main program is called Autodesk Maya 2016. The actual rendering is done by Pixar's Renderman RMS20 with their "RIS" witch is a bi-directional rasterized path-tracer set to VCM. Because the RIS system is new, there were a few bugs so I used mental ray to render out the atmosphere such as fog and particles in the air. You can get Renderman free for non-commercial use (Although its completely fine to get ad-revenue from YouTube or any other services.)
 On a side note, this image was edited with photoshop, but the actual rendered out video was color-corrected using adobe Speedgrade.



I didn't really change the image at all because its out of focus and doesn't look the best. Still, I still find it really funny about the different places my cat can get into.



I have a LOT more photos, but they all seem out of focus, blurry overall due to motion blur, or too grainy.
