Lifestyle Photography Homework Week 1




I wanted to try this again this evening but again my life has gotten in the way and it looks like I will have to use my images from this weekend instead - I was unhappy with some of the detail shots being a little bit blurry. - perhaps that is because i went a little aperture happy with my new prime lens and had my aperture set to 1.4 - do you take most of your pictures at 2.8 Brooke?
I chose my daughter coloring as an example of a series of images showing conflict. My shot list included close ups of the crayons, her little feet or hands, my parents OLD dog watching her color - and then the determination on her little face.





this picture is really more for my parents - he is about 150 and I swear has 9 lives, but he was content watching my daughter color and she really LOVES him!




and now for the main character -

  2. I love that second image of your daughter. I love the concentration you see on her face and the angle of her face looking down on the paper. Altogether I think it creates an interesting image :-)

  3. I love the photos of her coloring - such concentration and determination! I especially love the first one where she is squatting to do it - Oh to be that limber again! I really thought it captured the "essence" of that age :)

  4. What a sweet little girl! I adore the first photo of her hand and foot. Priceless. And the look of utter concentration in all of the photos of her is just amazing. Nothing was going to distract her from coloring! :) TFS!

  5. Jody your daughter is a darling! She's so engaged in what she's doing & it's wonderful that you've captured that.

  6. My favorite shot of yours is the last one! She sure is concentrating! I'm SO jealous of your new 50mm lens. That is the next item I want to add to my photo gear. Nice work! I can't wait to see what you have to show us this week :)
