I just finished my second photography class. These are some of the photos I took from beginning where I was learning to play with the aperture, shutter speed, focal point, ISO, metering, you name it we pretty much covered it! I learned so much and I think it shows in my pictures.
Going from shooting objects that don't move, to shooting people!
Daughters!
I don't know who had more fun, me or this kid. She was quite the ham!
This dude was always pretty cooperative, I think he tolerated me taking his picture.
And this big guy! I said, "Sit, Enzo." He very politely sat down and let me take his picture. Isn't he a beauty!
This is one of my favorites of Pepper. In the beginning I was really loving the smaller aperture! But then I learned 'Depth of Field' - Ha Ha!
It snowed one day and I got a few great shots of this beautiful daughter!
A sick kid can't go anywhere and thus makes an easy target for a photo shoot. Poor Diggy.
This was my first sort of styled photo shoot. I had to choose the location and do a real live portrait. Pepper loves this fancy dress!
Bokeh! It's those blurred light reflections on the eggs in the background. Kinda cool, huh?
Field trip to the round barn! It's a great place for some cool shots!
Pretty horse! Just wish I had chosen a smaller aperture to get his whole head in focus.
Gorgeous girl. Great background.
I've always wondered how people capture lightening. Googled it. And God showed me THIS! I got several really cool shots that night. I had more fun!
I learned what the "Magic Hour" meant! Hello sun set low! And, a bit of a sun flare in there, too!
That back light puts a bit of a halo effect on my girl, Zoe!
Chasing bubbles at Grandma's house. Pure bliss!
Flying kites and a sun flare!
Our final assignment was a self portrait. This is me.
I took my online classes from this chick at www.thelongroadtochina.com - us adoptive mommas are a tight knit bunch.
