Hello Everyone. This is my son Adam and his girlfriend Becky. With limited time and sun light, this weeks this project was not easy. I find that taking pictures with no flash is difficult because your subject must be completely still, if they move in the slightest the picture is blurry. Most people are not comfortable being put on the spot for a photo shoot so they tend to move around. I tried hiring my 8 yr old Granddaughter for a model but she does not do "still" well. You can see portraits of her, my husband and both my cats on http://www.fotothing.com/mod2deb/.
This week was a little challenging because of it being a holiday weekend and figuring out on how to do the portrait shots. I thought these two were probably the better ones out of the bunch I took. I wasnt really happy with the shots I took, but hopefully they get the job done. Enjoy!
This is a glass rock I was given over five years ago by a friend. I was able to get close to the image so the rock looks larger than itself. This rock is actually the size of my thumbnail. I also really like the reflection in the glass.
I collect corks from any special occassion. This cork is from my recent graduation from Culinary School. I thought it would be a great shot with the natural light in the background. I also think it would look great in black and white, but am trying to stay away from the black and white since many of my photos around my home are black and white.
Some people may hate fake flowers, but these roses sit in my dining room and when the natural light came in through the window onto them I loved the way they looked. In getting in close to the actual bud with my camera, the photo makes the rose look so much larger than it actually is. Wht I don't like is the pattern you are able to see on the rose which tells you it is fake. Martha Stewart would NOT approve!
I recently bought a breast cancer door hangar and I decided to take this small ribbon and make it look bigger on the camera screen. Being a survivor, I thought it would be nice for my blog. I was able to make some of the colors stand out more and look deeper using Picasa
