The first adventure of Blog World Expo for me was going on the Digital Photography School PhotoWalk. I absolutely love photography, and I dream of being a famous photographer. The only problem with that is I just don’t have the skills, or the equipment, to do that. Luckily for me they let the point and shoot girl (me) follow them around and gawk at their amazing talent and equipment.

The photographers, the cameras, the lenses, oh my!

Drew was the original person that invited me on the Photo Walk. I’ve admired his photos for quite awhile now. One of my favorite shots by him is Harley - Adopted. She is a dog that was adopted from the North Attleboro Animal Shelter and this picture just radiates the unconditional love that an animal can give to a human being. The first time I saw this picture I cried.

This is my favorite shot of Drew that I got.

Drew Getting The Shot

I followed around Darren Rowse and Robert Scoble staring stupidly at their cameras and dreaming of the day when I will have a Cannon EOS Rebel XSi slung around my neck shooting pictures like the big girls…or boys.

Darren Rowse

Of all the pictures that I took, which most turned out really poor, this would be my favorite one. I just love the blue along the edge and the colors that are reflecting in the water.

Bellagio Fountains On Break

This is the only one of the Bellagio Fountains that I got that I thought turned out okay.

Bellagio Fountains

And to sum up my night of admiring these amazing photographers I got this shot of a few of them waiting for that one.perfect.shot.

Bellagio Fountains

I really did learn a lot from watching all these amazing photographers in action, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me tag along with you. I’ll make sure to send you all birthday invitations next year, so you can buy me a camera as a present. If you want to see more of the pictures from the Photo Walk, check them out DPSVegas.

Julie,
I think your pictures were great. Here’s a tip, you have to shoot a lot to get great shots. I’d say the ration is 100 shots to 1-5 worth publishing, the ratio will go down the more you shoot over time. Keep up with it and you’ll have fantastic shots on a more consistent basis. Your shots however are really good.

I am so bummed I missed the photo walk. We were running 5 minutes late and by the time we showed up, the group was gone. We did our own photo walk through Caesars. Cool, but not as cool as hanging with the group. Next year, I guess. :-/

Alli - thanks, and I hope you can make it next year!


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 21 September, 2008 at 10:31 am

Thanks Lisa!


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 21 September, 2008 at 10:32 am

Thanks for the tip Drew.


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 21 September, 2008 at 11:09 am

John - you should have sent me a Tweet. We were around Caesars for quite awhile before moving on to the Bellagio fountains.


MyAvatars 0.2 Hellan on 22 September, 2008 at 12:16 am

I’m a point and shoot girl too. LOL I read Drew’s comment up there. Wow, 100 shots and only 1-5 worth publishing? I need a better camera for that. After ever photo I took I need to wait at least 30 second for the camera to get ready for another take.

MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 22 September, 2008 at 7:06 am

I love to photograph. I don’t have a great camera. But it will do for now. Yes…. I take tons of shots. But only have a few good ones. sounds like you had a blast!

MyAvatars 0.2 Connie on 22 September, 2008 at 8:19 am

So glad you were able to attend BWE but jealous at the same time ;) All of your photos came out great. Remember you’re comparing yourself to the pros here! I’m working on taking photos too with my dinky camera but I enjoy it. That’s the most important part.


MyAvatars 0.2 gina on 22 September, 2008 at 8:36 am

I really wanted to go to Blog World! Maybe next year. Great pictures.

MyAvatars 0.2 veinglory on 22 September, 2008 at 9:15 am

I think you can be a pro with very basic point and shoot, just get that fals turned off and make sure you shoot in a way that has good focus, low noise and is well farmed :)


MyAvatars 0.2 Holly on 22 September, 2008 at 9:44 am

I wish I could have gone, but with school and no money it wasn’t possible. Maybe next year!

You do have some great photos. I love fountain ones.


MyAvatars 0.2 cady on 22 September, 2008 at 11:50 am

your pics are great. the photo walk sounds really neat.


MyAvatars 0.2 Aahz on 22 September, 2008 at 7:51 pm

It’s great to read about something other than the parties happening at these blogging conventions.

Oops, did I speak too soon?

;)


MyAvatars 0.2 JMom on 23 September, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Wow, you hung out with blogging stars! I loved to have been a groupie in that walk. I don’t have a camera to speak of either. lol!

I love your last shot of the fountain and silhouettes. Reminded me of Oceans 11 or 12 or 13… I forget now. :)
