Truthful Tuesdays




All I really want for Christmas (that money can't buy b/c w/ money I will get a 50mm 1.8 lens!) is to get caught up to current day on this blog!  I am posting pictures from March 2009 right now.... I WILL get there... eventually.  Hopefully during the holiday break from work I can get some done.  I also really want to get caught up on Z's baby book.... I have a gorgeous scrapbook for him that I've barely done anything in b/c I am too busy playing with photos.  ;-)

To piggy back on Elizabeth's post in a non-photo kind of way... Two years ago I got my present on Christmas, I just wouldn't know if for 2 more weeks....I've got my boy... now I just need a girl ;-)  Hopefully when the time is right.  Heavens... then I will even MORE pictures to take and less time to edit them (so hopefully I will just get them all right in camera).  I love it :-)

Not Me Monday!

  




Because I am an avid photographer with all the time in the world, I would make sure to get class assignments done on time.  I'd spend two whole weeks getting the best pictures I could.  I would never ever try to get all the shots I need for the assignment in one or two days of shooting, and heavens forbid, I would never EVER forget to take my camera with me to work on the 2nd day to make sure I had another chance to get the needed shots.

Nope, not me!

This will have to do.......

 

Better luck next week I guess....

Random post....

Ug, so I am tired and have a yucky cold, but I haven't posted in a while... so here is a half hearted attempt:

A cute nakie baby shot inspired by CoppieCat:

More unique perspectives, i like them! (darn it, I wish I'd stop cropping in too far!):




And of course.... Lessons learned: you know, OTHER than not cropping in too far!

1) Don't use a shutter speed of less than 1/60 when taking pictures of moving children!

This one finally worked out.... but only b/c he held still for a second:  But I learned that white props again, will over expose a lot.


2) Something needs to draw the eye to set up an axis line.  This pic feels so "off" b/c it feels tilted.

3) DON'T shoot in high sun or use it as a background.


 4) Watch the background for things that will stick out in funny places (such as making Z look like he has a lot of hair (it is a bush in the background).


YEAH, next post I get to delve into our mexico trip pictures (from March 09).  Yippie!
