RT-7 Night Shots

I've wanted to experiment with car headlights and night shots but never really got around to doing it. Well, I went a few blocks away from my house, to where RT-7 enters Troy, and set up my gear there. I like the shots, but I'm interested in finding a new place to shoot from.

The city of Troy

I went downtown and took some photos last thursday (just got around to processing them now because I was sailing all weekend). The photos are actually very similar to the ones I took last year around this time. I like just walking around and taking photographs, but it is one area where I have not had much experience and I do have a bit of trouble finding things to photograph. I was looking for some more abstract things in this outing, and I got some photos I'm happy with. My favorite is the third shot - I really like the composition.I went downtown and took some photos last thursday (just got around to processing them now because I was sailing all weekend).

First, the six photos I took a year ago.

And here are the photos from today.

REACH - Study Abroad Program

Well, there was a presidential colloquy announcing RPI's creation of a new study abroad program, REACH (which stands for Rensselaer Engineering Education Across Cultural Horizons). The two partner universities at the moment are the Technical University of Denmark and Nanyang Technological University, located in Lyngby and Singapore respectively. Although I am not interested in either of these schools, largely because I don't speak the languages, I am very interested in studying abroad and it is nice to see RPI making an effort to stimulate interest in this. I was covering this event for the Poly.

Red Carpet Affair

I took some photos for the school newspaper last night. This event was held to announce the winners of the student government elections (congratulations to all who got a position). There wasn't very much light in there and I wasn't using flash, so it was a bit tough but I got some photos I'm pleased with.
