Portraiture Assignment

I had the most difficult time get my pictures into focus outside so I took the shooting inside. I have had a hard time getting my little point n shoot camera to focus so I might borrow a different camera for my final and to re-shoot this assignment.

 

 This is my 13 year old daughter who refused to smile because she just got braces. Things shows her attitude and is the expression I get on a daily basis.

This is my youngest daughter and she loves to pose for pictures. It took about thirty goofy shots before she would smile somewhat normal.

JUST FOR FUN!!!!!!!

Assignment #2 Numbers

This was a hard assignment for me. I struggled with the lighting and exposure at first and couldn't capture several pictures. I lost several photo's and didn't think to bring the numbers to my pictures but looked for numbers in my photos. I definitely learned a lot from others photos and hope to capture what I want to capture next time.

Assignment one/ scavenger hunt

This was an interesting assignment to say the least! I spent a good amount of time taking all my shots and  learning all the features of my new camera. It has been an experience learning to use lightroom and all the functions of the Mac. During the process of this assignment I managed to loose all of my pictures and had to start over, so many of my pictures were taking in the school parking lot. So far, it has been a fun course and have enjoyed the class very much.
