I decided to take a little time on a rainy day to practice taking pictures on some really cute subjects. I have been reading up on lots of different techniques involving exposure and composition and today was a good day to practice. As you will notice, there are more of the Tuck Man simply because he cannot move once I put him somewhere. AND he smiles beautifully and genuinely and is just plain happy that I'm taking his picture. His big brother on the other hand...
I love all of the pictures that you put up on the blog! What kind of camera do you have? I am thinking about getting a new one since I have a wonderful little man to take pictures of now! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought your pictures have looked more "intentional" lately. :) These really look great!
ReplyDeleteI've been practicing/studying on how to use my camera as well and have been saving up for a new lens. What kind do you have on your camera?
thanks blythe! i do love taking them. we have about a 4 year old canon rebel xt. i am thinking about selling it and all 3 lenses we have to upgrade. it's a GREAT camera though and perfect for starting out. you're little guy is precious :) let me know if you have any more questions.
ReplyDeleteMC - thanks for the compliment. i SO enjoy taking pictures and the more i learn, the more i love it. so i am teaching myself.
i mainly use our 50mm lense. it's my absolute favorite. it goes to a 1.8 aperture setting which allows a lot more light and is good for people pictures. do you have a nikon?
We do have a Nikon and have just been using the kit lens, but just purchased a 50 mm f/1.8 and can't wait to try it out! :) If you don't mind sharing, what resources have you been using to teach yourself?
ReplyDeleteI use all kinds of different sources. One I've been using lots lately is thepioneerwoman.com there are LOTS of great tutorials and such in her photography section. i have gotten a lot of tips lately from there. i am forever searching and playing and learning by just USING the camera. metering, iso, aperture, shutter speed. just figuring out how they all work together in different light. I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteyour pictures are great and your girls are the cutest.
