For Christmas I received some money that I was told to "not spend on bills." I put it in my savings for the day that I would actually have to pay rent with it. As the time passed though, I realized that I always spend my birthday/Christmas money on bills and that this time I wasn't going to do that. So I said fuck it and bought myself a Canon Rebel T3 that I had been eying for months. I know it's by no means a professional's camera, but I'm a beginner in the whole photog department. I just want to see what I can do.
So I've had my camera for a whopping 48 hours and over the weekend here's what I have done:
Saturday I went to Santa Monica to catch a sunset. The weather out here has been amazing and warm and the sunrises have been pink and the sunsets have been all kinds of fiery orange.
The sun looks truly beautiful and I can honestly say that I am so blessed to be able to see this in January!
I absolutely love this photo of the American flag and the palm tree. The sunset in the background and the military pillars on the right make it the ultimate patriotic picture :)
Finally, my last picture from Saturday turned out to be my favorite. The bird in the top right flew in just as I snapped the sun going down and it turned out, in my opinion, just lovely.
On Sunday, me and a friend went hiking in Malibu. Honestly, who knew waterfalls and NATURE existed in LA?! I've been on this hike before and it is one of my favorites. You have to do a bit of rock climbing to get to the big waterfall at the top, but it is well worth it. Word to the wise: Don't wear white! You will get dirty. The whole hike takes about 2 hours round trip, including time to stop, take pictures and soak in the beauty of it all. Here's some of the things from today.
Anyways, stay tuned for more as you follow me and my camera around :)
