I. Am. Back.
With some photos that I didn't take. :D
I don't claim ownership over any of these photos, blah blah blah... legality...blah....

Ok. So yeah. I actually lied. I'll upload some soon, but my internet is not being a good friend.
So yes, I apologize for not posting very often, lots of things going on right now. And I have a lot on my mind. Plus... there isn't much of an audience, so this is like talking to myself. Which is kinda sad. And I swore to never talk to myself again! EVAR!!! Joking. I don't talk to myself. Seriously. ¬.¬

Continued from last post...

My internet has been rather slow lately.

I was going to include a couple pictures with my last post...

I tried, but failed. My apologies.

I promise some pictures when my internet decides to be kind.

Thoughts on school and solving the graininess problem!

Well, hey there...

I started tennis yesterday...er...two days ago.

Joy! ANOTHER thing to add to my schedule...and it's not even the school year yet!

That starts the 25th...I'm not very excited. I'd prefer to remain in summer. I love how laid-back summer is. I enjoy doing whatever I darn well please. School...pretty much prevents that.

Also, school seems to suck every little bit of creativity out of me. All I can think of is, "I have to get that homework done!" or, "STUDY!!!"

On a side note...

You know how I was complaining about the graininess of my pictures a few posts back? Well, I finally read some reviews on my camera to see what I should do...Turns out, I simply had to lower the ISO because Fujifilm automatically sets its ISOs high.

Not knowing much about technical things about cameras, I didn't really know what an ISO is, but now I do!

I lowered the ISO, and now my camera has been taking some lovely pictures. This pleases me.

Band and recent happenings?

Oh, hey there.

I'm sorry I've been kind of neglecting this lately.

I'm thankful we finally have a couple followers.

Anyways, marching band camp has started. It's from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, with an hour long lunch break in between. Basically, it's like school, only you just practice instruments. Ben and I are in the pit (xylophone, vibraphone, cymbals, marimba, congas, etc.). It's kind of fun sometimes, but sometimes it's just so boring and frustrating. I'm probably the worst in the section because unfortunately, we've been playing a lot of chromatic scales. I play the vibraphone a lot, and it's larger than the glockenspiel, which is what I played for most of last year, which makes it difficult for me to get used to, causing my difficulties in playing the chromatic scales.

Bleh. I'm too lazy to write anymore. I'm busy planning a friend's birthday celebration! Eeee!

Graininess...errrgh.

Well, today I did something that I haven't done in a while...tried to take artistic-ish photos. My friend and I had a small photo shoot around my barn. I did most of the photo taking. :3

Sadly, the sun was starting to set, and my camera only takes lovely pictures in the sun.

Nearly all of them came out grainy. Urghh.

Hey, whoever gets me a fancier camera, I will love you forever. :3

I just got this one for Christmas, but it is merely a point-and-shoot. I figured a DSLR would be farrrr too complicated for me, knowing I'm easily confused. :3

But really, I think I would have avoided a lot of irritation if I would have bought a higher quality one. But meh...mine's good for a point-and-shoot, and after all...having to haul around a large camera to social events would also be a bit irritating.

Hehe...I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I enjoy this face. --> :3

Pretty interesting read for anyone into photography.

Just some pointless rambling about photos and "Inception"...

Well, hey there.

I apologize for my lack of photos.

I've been rather uninspired lately. I guess I should work on that.

I may go outside and take some pictures later, for my camera takes some pretty junky pictures indoors. I tried to take some last night, but they ended up grainy and stupid looking. Bleh.

I went to see "Inception" with my friends yesterday. I was really quite tired even though it was only around 6 o'clock or so in the evening and I usually stay up later than any person should. Anyways, this tiredness caused me to drift into sleep. At the same time, I was dreaming. It was only a brief dream though, about glass and beads. I don't know why I was dreaming about such things, but it was peculiar. For those that have seen the movie, (which is about dreams and stuff) isn't such a thing ironic!? There was a problem with this though because "Inception" is a very perplexing movie that requires you to pay attention to fully understand what is going on, so my few moments of dosing off caused me to miss some essential pieces of information.

We need more followers. Just sayin'.

New blog design?

I've gotten pretty bored with our current layout...so mayhaps a new one may be coming soon?

-Francesca

Finally! A follower!

AHHHHHH!!!

Thank youuuuuuuuuu Mia!

I LOVE YOU!

I got the uploader to work. Here's a picture of an... Inca statue... located in the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's Komodo Dragon exhibit.
Enjoy.
-Ben

I'd be uploading a photo right now, however, the image uploader doesn't seem to want to show its self. Sorry. :(
-Ben

Still no followers...

*Sigh*...We still have no followers.

It's really depressing that we're basically talking to...no one.

:(

-Francesca

Time for part one of the mutan- errr conjoined twin cherries. Don't laugh, they're very self conscience. Part two will come later. The next ones are the failed twins. It's quite sad. :(
Also, grr to franc for beating me to first picture. Grrrrrrrr.

-Ben

THE VERY FIRST PHOTO! Drum roll, please...

I (Francesca) took this photo of some blossoms on a tree branch sometime this spring.

It's one of my all-time favorite photos I have taken. I just love the bokeh effect in the background.

This photo is unedited. I think one of these days I may edit it when bored. If I do, I'll post the edited one toooooo!

-Francesca

I am saddened by our lack of followers...

We have no followers! This saddens me!

Really, we aren't all that boring, we just started out!

If you are viewing this page, please, please follow us.

I'll love you forever! :D

A word from Bne.

Because I can, I will type in italics. Anyhow, for everyone who just CAN'T STAND the suspense for the first photo, (should be no one) later tonight I will post something that is incredibly interesting to see. Mutant cherries. Or, to be more politically correct, conjoined twin cherries. Sadly the tale of these cherries is quite sad. More on this later. I'm going to eat some pizza.

Anyways...Nothing really exciting is happening. At all.

I was going to post a picture, but my computer is being mean. :(

Filling in an empty post that Frnac must have posted. So yeah, this post officially is filled. And not entirely useless.

Hello There!

Hello, blog reader!

Here's the story of how this little blog came to be:

Once upon a time, in a boring summer, Francesca (Frnac) was talking to Ben (Bne) on Facebook chat.

After stalking some random people's blogs, Francesca got the bright idea to start a blog, just to see what it's like.

Benjamin got an even better idea, TO MAKE ONE TOGETHER!

The end.

Anyhoo, this blog will mostly be the lovely photographs Benjamin and I take.

We don't claim to be good at photography, at all. It's just a hobby we both love and thoroughly enjoy.

Yes, indeed, we are BFFs!
