I thought I might share some of them with you. If you would like to see my entire portfolio you can visit http://eliphotography.photoshop.com This is just a basic site that I have. I hope to get a real web page at some point, but I have more work to do before I can justify that. I hope you enjoy! I didn't label them because it blocks part of the picture, but if you want to know what something is just ask.- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-1115059064677038682008-10-26T22:38:00.001-05:002008-10-26T22:39:02.005-05:00Nikko Fall ColorsI haven't gotten to work on these pictures yet, but the colors were absolutely beautiful up there this weekend!

I took a ridiculous number, but these are just a small portion. As I mentioned on my blog, if you like people watching this is the place! I really did become fascinated by their faces. I tried to capture that in a few of my pictures. They might seem a bit random sometimes, but I felt like the Lord was teaching me a lot while I was there and I wanted to capture some of those faces for memories. <br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-27.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346374031143&site=widget-27.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346374031143&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-27.slide.com/p1/648518346374031143/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346374031143&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-27.slide.com/p2/648518346374031143/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346374031143&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-27.slide.com/p4/648518346374031143/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />These are just a few of the Koh Chang Island pictures. I was excited that we were on the West coast of the island so we had the sunset (when it wasn't cloudy). <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the pictures. I have many many more, but too many to put on here. These are all on my new camera. I tried my best to not use the automatic feature on the camera. I have been trying to learn some of the manual features of the camera and I tried to put them into good use on the trip. I tried to play with lighting and shadows a lot, but hopefully I will get better with practice. If you have any questions on the pictures please feel free to ask.<br /><br />Sayonara for now!<br />Elaina- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-35221986373698369942008-07-19T02:07:00.003-05:002008-07-19T02:22:48.719-05:00Camping!When I was looking through the pictures to add I thought of something to add on here. On the breakfast picture, I got to thinking wow that doesn't look like a lot of food on that tray! I forget how much smaller the portion sizes are here! Interesting thing is...I got full and couldn't finish that much. Wow...Cracker Barrel customers wouldn't know what to do if they got that for breakfast! ha ha! Just one more thought...I promise. Just think..if more Americans would eat smaller portion sizes it would save a lot of money. Sure their basic food bill, but also gas (cars don't run as well when they are riding low due to big butts...I won't comment on the other kind of low riders), health care costs (their own and everyone else's), and last but not least we wouldn't have to spend all this money on self help books, tapes, and overnight diet fads! We look for all of these quick fixes when the fast fix is looking at what is on our plate! Sorry for the rant, but since being here I realize more and more how glutteness America really is! Not just in food, but in our entire lifestyle! Ok...the rant is over! Here are the pictures of all the cute kids! I hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-de.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346373444062&site=widget-de.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346373444062&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-de.slide.com/p1/648518346373444062/bb_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346373444062&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-de.slide.com/p2/648518346373444062/bb_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346373444062&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-de.slide.com/p4/648518346373444062/bb_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-43987763759677947292008-07-12T08:18:00.002-05:002008-07-12T08:19:52.410-05:00Some Kid PicturesI figured that there are never enough cute kid pictures!

Hopefully, I will be able to learn more about photography and take some good pictures to share with you. There are so many things here that I wish I could share with you back home. A lot of the time I am either too slow or a picture just doesn't do it justice! I went out yesterday and took the new camera out for a test run. I am trying to learn as I go and so I have to practice. I have been wanting to get some pictures of the rice fields for you, so that is what I did yesterday. The fields are very green (as you will see) right now, and just absolutely gorgeous! I hope you enjoy! There are also some flowers that are on school grounds that I took pictures of. <br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-12.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346372642578&site=widget-12.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346372642578&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-12.slide.com/p1/648518346372642578/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346372642578&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-12.slide.com/p2/648518346372642578/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346372642578&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-12.slide.com/p4/648518346372642578/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />Sayonara for now!<br />Elaina- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-40781912645502565792008-06-06T19:31:00.003-05:002008-06-06T19:38:24.314-05:00Strawberry Delight!Well, yesterday I got a nice surprise when I got to school. My encho sensei (principal) came to me and said, "You are going to pick strawberries today!" I was quite surprised, but gladly welcomed the idea! So we set out with my 4 year olds from Mito to go and pick strawberries at the Berry House! It was a great time! We ate a lot of strawberries and had even more sticky hands/clothes when we finished! <br /><br />I have received some photography advice on here (thank you to Ansel!) and so I tried to work on those things. I tried to use my flash more and also get their caps up as much as possible. I hope you can see a bit of a difference! Thanks for the advice...I will take all that you've got!<br /><br />Enjoy the pictures everyone!<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-6d.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346371624557&site=widget-6d.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346371624557&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-6d.slide.com/p1/648518346371624557/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346371624557&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-6d.slide.com/p2/648518346371624557/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346371624557&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-6d.slide.com/p4/648518346371624557/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-53572922311609235302008-06-03T01:12:00.002-05:002008-06-03T01:16:44.268-05:00Koi no Buri (Daigo Area)While talking to Mom yesterday I realized that I had forgotten to post these pictures. These windsocks are put up in honor of "boys day" at the first part of May every year. This is the longest pedestrian only, suspension bridge in Japan. It's quite a sight to see. I went up there with Kendon and his parents, Matt, Catera, and Isaac. I really enjoyed it. It was really windy that day so it was a bit difficult to get the windsocks to cooperate sometimes. However, I managed a couple of shots! I hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346371266859&site=widget-2b.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346371266859&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/p1/648518346371266859/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346371266859&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/p2/648518346371266859/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346371266859&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-2b.slide.com/p4/648518346371266859/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-16615242575071164332008-05-06T03:50:00.000-05:002008-05-06T03:51:32.583-05:00The Wild Piglet Ride<div><embed src="http://widget-c6.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346370389702&site=widget-c6.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346370389702&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-c6.slide.com/p1/648518346370389702/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346370389702&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-c6.slide.com/p2/648518346370389702/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />Here are the few pictures that I took.

We made a lot of memories and had a special time together! Some of these pics are off of Dad's camera, so thanks Pop! I have been dabbling in trying my hand at some special effect type things with photography, so some of these pics are ones that I have have made some adjustments to. Nothing spectacular, but just trying it for fun! <br /><br />For any family or friends that might like a copy of any of my pictures please let me know. I keep meaning to put that on here, but I forget. I am more than willing to share if there is something that you would like. Please enjoy looking through them!<br /><br />Sayonara for now!- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-31244530365597902152008-03-18T00:27:00.002-05:002008-03-18T00:33:33.259-05:00End of School and Graduations!<div><embed src="http://widget-c6.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1297036692689653446&site=widget-c6.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1297036692689653446&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-c6.slide.com/p1/1297036692689653446/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1297036692689653446&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-c6.slide.com/p2/1297036692689653446/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />Well we have finished the school year so I want to put up the end of year pictures! Graduation was neat, fun and challenging. The ceremonial part was really neat, the kids make it fun for me and the 5 minute speech in Japanese made it challenging for me! I made a speech at each of the graduations (2 schools) and it was first in Japanese and then in English. I was joking with me teachers and said, "I'm fine with the Japanese but I don't know if I can do the English!" They thought that was funny. I made it through, and can now put a feather in my cap for surviving! I was the one English speaker in a room of 300 Japanese, giving a speech in Japanese! It was intimidating, but good for me! I am telling myself that if I made it through this year with only having studied the language for 3-4 months then I can do that much better next year! Anyway, I hope you enjoy all of the pictures! I tried to get all of my classes but I missed a couple. <br /><br />Sayonara for now!- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-23726018729287204132008-03-15T02:20:00.002-05:002008-03-15T02:24:03.704-05:00Kairakuen Park (Ume Blossoms)<div><embed src="http://widget-37.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346369571127&site=widget-37.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346369571127&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-37.slide.com/p1/648518346369571127/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346369571127&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-37.slide.com/p2/648518346369571127/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />I have 3 different trips to the park included on here. The very first pictures were from 2 weeks ago and then you can see the increase of blossoms to today! It is absolutely beautiful! The weather today was perfect for picture taking and I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the park! I hope you enjoy the pictures! I don't think they do it justice, but it will hopefully give you a peek at what its like here this time of year! I am spoiled to have Kairakuen Park right here in Mito. People come from all over Japan to this park to see the blooms! It is a top 3 park in Japan from what I have been told!

Hinamatsuri took place on my sis's birthday, March 3. Our schools celebrated the week before due to scheduling and the event lasts an entire week at Lily! It was quite exciting. Every class performed (3 per day) and the picture of the "press corps" as I refer to it, is hilarious to me. It is absolutely packed with parents and cameras! Too funny! They were so great and I was very impressed with the entire event. I hope you enjoy the pictures! I tried to get a lot without being a part of the press corps! ha ha!- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-44311832197973127482008-02-21T07:29:00.002-06:002008-03-15T01:57:09.842-05:00School Pictures!!!<div><embed src="http://widget-78.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=648518346369250168&site=widget-78.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346369250168&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-78.slide.com/p1/648518346369250168/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=648518346369250168&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-78.slide.com/p2/648518346369250168/bb_t017_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>- eli -http://www.blogger.com/profile/00390294632233492182noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539559641672661669.post-25757229309074032232008-02-04T20:01:00.000-06:002008-02-04T20:04:33.023-06:00"Wanted Dead or Alive!"<p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-69.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-69.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=648518346368354665&site=widget-69.slide.com"/></object><p><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=0&id=648518346368354665&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-69.slide.com/p1/648518346368354665/ms_t046_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=0&id=648518346368354665&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-69.slide.com/p2/648518346368354665/ms_t046_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p><br /><br />Presenting....Bon Jovi!
