Photography

I've been working pretty hard on improving my photography. I really want to get serious about it. I would love to take an online course this fall, but I'm not sure if that will happen. For now, I am just working with what I have. It is frustrating sometimes. I often feel limited by my equipment (bad excuse?). However, I do think I am improving.

These are some of the pictures I have taken of Tristan in the last couple of weeks.

I love this photo, just because it looks like they are really having a conversation.

I loved doing the shoot outside. I hope that when (and if) I get in to newborn photography I have some parents who will let me do outdoor shoots. I just love the effect.

These were from a practise/recce shoot I did the other day. I was getting a feel for the location of my husband's brother's wedding and testing out some shots. My patient husband and son graciously modelled for me. Haha.

Experimenting with my new 50mm f/1.8 lens that Erik surprised me with. There were a lot of bad shots from this shoot. It's hard getting used to a prime lens when you are so used to the zoom. But there were a couple of decent ones, too.

The second shoot with the 50mm. Much better results. :)

 I still need work. There is always room for improvement. However, I can see the improvement and I can see potential. I really think that I have found what I want to do as a career, a living. I've always been told to find what you love and then find a way to make money doing it. Well, I love photography and I think I want to be a photographer.
