Day 183

July's assignment is to completely plan a photo shoot idea surrounding a prop.  I am going to do a Circus shoot, and  I am going to make a circus tent.

Emma and Jackson will be my models, and here is a collage of what they will be wearing...

The costume Emma will wear was my dance costume from 1982!!!

I cannot wait to pull together the rest of the props!

Day 130

Today I took Emma and a friend out for some photos.  I only had time to edit one photo tonight...

ISO 200,  f/4.5,  SS 1/800

The girls and I had a great time out there!

Day 78

We have just now gotten home and gotten the kids in bed.  It is 8:46pm, and I am quite exhausted from the day's events.

Emma had another soccer game tonight.   I don't have it in me to download the pictures so I'll post another one from this past weekend.  I edited it this morning along with a few others.

Day 76

Day 74

Tonight Emma and I did her photo shoot to mimic my inspiration photo.

Emma was not all that cooperative as far as following direction or standing still or cooperating with her mouth expressions.

Here is my inspiration photo...

Here is the straight out of the camera...

And the final:

and here is the interpretation...(definitely not as crisp...)

I had such a great time thinking this through and getting the props.  I cannot wait to tackle another one.

Day 63

I'm very excited about my last photography assignment for the month of March.  We have to pick an inspiration photo from a photographer.  We then we have to plan out all the details like the subject, location, props, etc. and post all of these details.  Our teacher only wants us to submit between one and three photographs for this assignment.

Emma actually chose my photo for me.  She was giddy when I came across the photo that I will be using.  If she is happy about it, then hopefully, she will be more willing to cooperate with me during the actual photoshoot.

Anyway, as the sun was setting tonight we quickly ran out onto the porch to take a few test photos.  

She is just in a t-shirt with unkempt hair, but I kind of like the sweet smile on her face.  It is a little too over-the-top for the inspiration photo though.
