this weeks, last weeks & a few redos...

This was taken at the pumpkin farm from this weekend. It is a redo of the stop action shot from a few weeks ago. Once I figured out how to change shutter speed on my camera, stop action became SO much easier!!








Also from the pumpkin farm, one of 2 nature shots due for tonight's class.

















Taken under a tree looking up at football practice, second nature shot for this week.












Last week's sports action shot, I feel like I totally missed the mark on this one & I have the redo ready to turn into tonight. (see below)













The redo- it was the boys celebratory shoulder bump after a touchdown. I was so excited that I actually caught them midair! The actual shot being turned in is cropped much closer.
















The other assignment from last week- a nonaction sports shot-- still wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but the best I could do at the time.









Next week's assignment is odd angles/perspectives. This should be interesting!

last weeks assignments... people pics

I had to take one outside.....













And one inside (no flash)-- Originally the idea was to take pics of another child so the class wouldn't get tired of seeing mine. Mine didn't like that idea, but I think the one of the two of them turned out pretty cute!








Got 2 B+ on the action & pan shot (football & Addi swing)...I can't seem to make that extra touch for the A....very aggravating (an anal, I know!)

To be posted soon.....sports, 1 active 1 non active....

Cityscapes...

So, I am a little behind posting. I skipped class last week to go car shopping. But these are the pictures...

This is my cityscape with people. Downtown Plainfield, I liked the corner of that building. It was a little different.







This is my cityscape without people- downtown Arcanum. They have brick streets in the downtown, so I got on my stomach to take the pictures from that point of view. I thought it turned out okay....we will see.








This weeks assignment: people indoors & outdoors using only available light. My poor family! :)
