Foto-Class projects

I finally got the results back from the photos I sent in for my classes. I thought I'd share the pics with you. This one is my portrait example and is, of course, of Josie. She was right next to my computer monitor, and lying still even, which was very handy for getting a good photo of her. My instructor liked the photo, particularly the "catch lights" in her eyes (which were totally unintentional on my part... I hadn't had that lesson yet). I particularly like the coloring in her eyes.


Below is an example of "freeze motion". I was supposed to capture something in motion, and with a really fast shutter speed, make the motion appear to stop. The only thing I could find moving at the time (Josie doesn't move on command very well) was this icicle hanging from the roof of our garage. So I "froze" it against the sky. I like it! My instructor did, too. :)


There's one more photo I sent in with these two, but I'll show you that later, because it has a little story to go with it.

Looks like the work of a good student.
Or maybe this isn't your first rodeo.

Thank you both!

It IS my first rodeo with an SLR camera, Dale! I've learned a lot... now I just need to practice, practice, practice (so I can do things without having to think it through so much, and so this aging memory doesn't forget what I've learned!).

Beautiful photos! I love your stop action. I got a great one of Levi jumping in a water fountain with the water droplets suspended. It's still one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken.
