Photography - Photos of the Day

My mini-assignment for today was to try to capture mood and action, without showing faces. Sam and Ella were working on building an amazing fort on the lanai - I wasn't allowed to help, so taking photos was a good second option! Painting was also a big hit today, which led to talking about abstract art, and viewing a you-tube clip of Jackson Pollock painting. We love having Ella over to visit!

Photography - 3 Goals, Completed!

I had three really simple goals for photography today.

1. Take photos using Michael's SLR camera, instead of the little digital.
2. Use the tripod.
3. Experiment with using a slow shutter speed to capture movement and action.

Here are a few of the results...


The power ranger suit was a gift from a 4-year-old friend at a party we went to last night...


I really like the saturated colors in this shot.


Here's an example using the tripod and slow shutter speed. I like the action, but now I need to work on keeping rich colors at the same time...


Like this!


And this one, that just captures the spirit of my guy.
