Week 2 Pictures

Today marks the end of my second week in my photography class. This week I had to post 3 pictures (above and beyond the pictures I posted for the two mini-assignments I completed last week).

This first one was to find the "sweet spot" (so they call it) for skin tone. I used Emily here who was laying on the window seat. I don't like the shadow on the side of her face, but I didn't have much light to work with (the pictures were due today and it wasn't very sunny)



Then we had to work on focusing. There is this button on the back of the camera used for BBF (back button focusing), but I haven't quite figured it out. So, I used the focus and recompose method we learned this week (as well as a custom white balance) and came up with this:



And finally, we had to take a picture with some movement in it. We decorated our tree tonight (more pictures to come later), so I took one of Hannah (well, actually, I took more than one, but this is the one I used)



At times I am very overwhelmed with the information I am learning, and sometimes, like today, I feel way out of my league. But, again, I can't say it enough: I think it's just freakin' awesome I am taking this photography class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
