Photography Class

So my photography class is coming to an end. I'm really sad to finish it off. I have learned so much. I shoot in manual all the time now and feel like my exposure is so much better than it used to be. Last week week our assignment was on composition. I had a really busy week and only one evening I could go out to really practice. I mistakenly believed Samantha and Jack when they said they wanted to be my subjects. Samantha posed for a minute...or two, but then decided she had her own ideas about what I should take (and I'm sorry, but it was nothing I could work with!). So I moved on to Jack who refused to come because (as he put it) he was busy working in the rock pile! I dragged his sorry little tooshy onto my chair and this is what I got...I believe it's the only picture of him he's not moving in.
I have to admit...I do LOVE this pic of Jack. It's so him and how he feels about having a picture taken. Just wish I could get more than this out of him!



I decided to move the kids to a different location to see if I could get any more out of them. As we were walking over both Samantha and Jack could not keep themselves off the curb and outta the rocks....and what'ya suppose happened????? They both fell at the same time!! Both screaming and crying and asking to go home. I was about to blow my top! So frustrated!!!

I took them home and bribed Kristen (big time) to come back out with me. She's a sweetheart and we had a lot of fun. I appreciate her willingness to work with me! And she's agreed to cooperate with me on any more assignments I have. (obviously she sensed how frustrated I was!)

Now I just need to find me a photo shop class so I can do a better job at editing these bad boys.
