Target Field

Second game at the new field and I just had to share some of these shots. Our seats are THAT close. I like this progression of indirectly slowly seeing the sun set. Nothing like a hot summer night at an outdoor ball game!

Fun in the Sun

This week has been crazy busy babysitting! So naturally I threw the Rebel in my bag o' shananigans and had some fun with the kids. I think these guys are some keepers!

"S" family

The "S" family is so great. While babysitting, I couldn't resist pulling out the cam to capture their cute little smiles and wildly goofy faces. It was interesting to work with the three different ages and how they responded to the camera. The youngest, Freddie, was impossible to capture by myself; but the older two did pretty well! Here's a sample:

End of a Trial

The day has come. My Lightroom and Photoshop trial subscriptions have run out. It's sad. It's sad because I have raw images on my desktop that are waiting to be examined. It's sad because to buy Lightroom for real is upwards of $250 which is not ok. So while I get over this grieving process I may be returning to iPhoto which is a real tragedy, although I am exploring other online options at the moment. Unfortunately, I won't be uploading pictures anytime soon but I have taken some cool ones recently! Summer lighting is blissful. I wish it could be like this all the time. Hellooo Emory!

Day 21: The End

Last day of May Term was cut short! We had all our last senior stuff at school this morning, and then track clean-up in the afternoon so I never really got my last day with Tasha. Shhh, don't tell, but I'm running a gift over there tomorrow.

Overall, May term was a blast!!! I learned so much from her and it was even cooler to be able to get behind the lens myself and play around with a little trial and error until I got things right. As I put my project together tonight, it's actually pretty crazy to see how far my pictures have come from even just three weeks ago. The first time I shot in manual, to getting my settings right on the first shot at the 6-month-old baby pictures. It has been quite the adventure.

My attitude going into this project was such that I had an interest in photography, but I wanted to see if I had a passion and skill for it. And now I know: I have a HUGE passion for it and potentially skill as well... but I guess that's up to the judges tomorrow night and what the general public thinks.

Enormous thanks to Tasha, Ali, and Amy. They do some awesome work so check 'em out!

Peace!
