Week 1

Assignment:  1 photo with Catch light

After taking a closer look-there is light in her eyes. I also feel like I exposed the photo poorly.

 

 



Natura Light: Brooke Snow photography class

 

 

Both photos were shot at f5  and ISO 400.  The top photo is 1/50 sec and the bottom 1/60.

 

What picture do you like better? I like the top photo better. Is it a little over exposed? Thoughts?



Photographing everyday life-Week 4

This picture was taken in our backyard on a cloudy but sunny day. I was sitting on the patio under a balcony.

f/5     1/60    ISO-400

 This picture when was taken during our BBQ tonight.The weather was suppose to be 81. Nope, we had dark clouds and a thunderstorm.

f2.5    1/25    ISO-800

These were taken while making frosting for our cupcakes, chocolate, yummy...and of course Buzz and Woody had to help too. We live in a town house with people on both sides, very bad lighting. However I did change the white balance in the camera to indoor lighting and the picture was better.

f/2.2    1/30    ISO-200

f/1.8    1/80    ISO-200

Overall I feel like I have a good understanding of the concepts I have learned. I feel most unsure about ISO-when to to raise it, when to keep it low???

I need to save up money to take another class. I enjoyed this class so much and feel like in a few short weeks I have grown so much. I love the freedom of M mode, LOVE IT!!

Composition-Week 3

This shot is blurry but I added it because I like the tunnel look that the bridge gives.

Here are my photos for this week. I had over 100 so it was hard to narrow it down.

f/14    1/30   ISO-400

f/3.2    1/640    ISO 400

f/13    1/80    ISO-400


I really like this last photo. I think it breaks some of the rules but I  think it works.

Shutter Speed-Week 2

This was the hardest week. The shots are not as artistically thought out as I would have liked but I think they illustrate the concepts. 

PANNING- this photo was taken behind my windshield. I was hoping to get a jogging photo but  this will have to do.

29    1/30      ISO 400

FROZEN ACTION- Look no hands!

9.0    1/1000    ISO 400


IMPLIED MOTION- I couldn't decide on one, so I picked 2 photos. I love this first photo because it shows his excitement-his expression in perfect.

32    1/50    ISO 400

36    1/50     ISO 500

I love this tree photo because even though it was super windy the leaves are crisp while the "helicopters" are blowing.

Infertility or Timing

Just finished my second month of Clomid. Let's just say I feel
extra hormonal and a little crazy.

This is something we have just started recently sharing openly. I have been private about it for many reasons-I'm afraid of crying every time I talk about it, I get nervous about what people will say and think. Not sure why I care. Also I think if I don't admit it out loud it isn't true. Sometimes I think it is more of a timing issue and something I just need to be patient about.

I was told when I was 14 I would have a hard time getting pregnant but at 14 that was the last thing I was thinking about. Now I have been thinking about it. Thinking what I should have done to make myself more fertile. What I need to do now? Sometime I feel like I am being punished but I know that isn't true. 

I just keep telling myself it will happen when it happens. Timing is essential in our Heavenly Father's plan and I truly have a testimony of this principle but sometime it is hard to have patience for thing I want. 

I feel like I put this big secret out in the open.
