Photography practice



So I've been reading this book on how to photograph children and the chapter I just finished was about light.  I've read the book already, but since I'm a skim reader I didn't really retain a whole lot.  I'm sure I'll be reading it over and over since there is so much valuable information in it that I need to learn.  Anyways, since we've had such great weather I decided to go out and take a few pictures. Here is one of my favorites.  There are more on facebook.  For some reason it takes 5 minutes to load them up to this blog so I'm giving up.

In addition to reading the book, I've decided to take a class this summer on photography. Hopefully it will be about Photoshop.  Then I can buy the real program with a student discount. I did try to edit the puffy dark circles under his eyes, but in some ways it almost makes him not look like himself.  Oh well. Hopefully a class will help me figure all that out. 

Gone are the days when I could sit Mason down and take endless pictures without worrying he'll move on me!  As you can see in the picture we first bribed him with a book and when that stopped working we bribed him with a musical toy.  The other problem is that when he does move he crawls straight for me and fast!  I can't back up fast enough to take his picture.  

Hope you enjoy!
