FroKnowsPhoto Weekend Theme May 12-13 “Games”
This weekends theme was games. To my surprise, not many people were using video games, so I took the opportunity.
And a gif I made:
Finally Upgraded My Lens!

FroKnowsPhoto Weekend Theme April 28th and 29th – Low Angles
I can only submit 5 of these, but I thought I’d post all the ones I liked from today’s shoot.
Joker’s Recruiting! Batman to the rescue!
'Looks like recruiting season.'
'I should keep an eye on this.'
'We're all after ONE thing. The Bat.'
'I can't promise to keep all of you safe.'
'That Bat is clever. He's everywhere.'
'But with dedication, I think we can take him down this time.'
'This ends NOW Joker!' "RUN!"
'Uh. Wait. No. You can't!'
'Yes, Joker, I can."
*WHAM*
'Back to Arkham, Joker."
FroKnowsPhoto Weekend Theme March 24th and 25th – Relax
I originally planned to skip this theme as I never go anywhere and I figured everyone would be shooting their pets, so I didn’t want to use my dog, Felix.
But, today when I walked out of the house, these two ducks were literally resting in the middle of the road. So, I went to say hello and they let me follow them around until I got tired of shooting. 🙂
‘The Simplest Form of Love”
Latest Fro Post (Weekend of March 10th and 11th and March 17th and 18th – Road Trip)
Well, it’s been a while. Honestly, I was a bit crushed when I didn’t even receive honorable mention on the music theme a while back. I was never going to submit again.
But then, I realized that’s ridiculous. I’ll continue shooting for ME. And if what I shoot and the dates match up, well, then maybe I’ll put them up for shits and giggles.
Anywho, this week’s theme was ‘road trip’. So, this is what I put forth.
The opposite of a road trip. Fly by plane.

FroKnowsPhoto.com Weekend Theme Nov 12-13: Veterans
Well, I was extremely bummed out after last week’s theme. I don’t really have access to Veterans, so I just shot to shoot. Here are a few shots.
These couple shots were taken at night, practicing long exposure and cloud blur.
This was to show my “No Shave November” progress.
And this is the retirement spot for my old 35mm. Its “mantle place”.
And a shot of the dog. Felix.

TheConTour – Washington D.C. 2011
So, the other day I made a journey up to Washington DC for TheConTour. Totally worth the 7 hours of driving. It was a fun time. I took a LOT more video than I did pictures, but here are the pictures that I did take. I hope you enjoy! If you were there and know others who were there, feel free to pass on this link.
Here is the VLOG I made about this day:
A day with Yoshi!
So, my good pal Yoshi asked me to document just a normal day for him. So here it goes:
I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to pass this along to your friends. Yoshi did it for his fans!
Photo Assignment
Alright, so everything after the colon will be what I submitted for the FroKnowsPhoto.com photo assignment. The assignment was to play around with back lighting and manually setting your shutter speed so that you can capture your subject even with light directly in the lens. I just thought some of my friends might find this interesting, so that’s why I’m posting this! Enjoy:
It was an overcast day today, so I decided to create my own lighting situations.
Directly in front

I, personally, always thought playing around with back lighting was fun. Lighting in general can be fun, if you use it correctly. Hope this fulfills the assignment! 😀
Well, that was the post. Hope you guys enjoyed it!
Just a place for pictures...
