Photo assignment

Well this week has been hectic! I enjoyed trying to capture the most compelling picture, but it was not as easy as I thought it would be. I tried nature, outside...that was a bust! I tried using "natural patterns" like the stairs, the hardwood floor, the fireplace.... again, not interesting. It looked like a bad photo from a craigslist add for a house up for sale. I finally ended on the dining room table and candle holders. I love this table, it is my favorite piece of furniture in our whole house. It was the first piece of furniture we bought when we got married, so it is special to me. The first is the color version, and then I went black and white on it!

Pictures

Well, I just finished the readings for this week on photography! I think I read them all and couldn't get enough! I have had a new camera on my wish list for a few months since having my daughter and this makes me want one even more. I love seeing pictures of kids where the photographer was able to capture the most simple thing, yet it looks so amazing in the photograph. My sister in law has a gift for pictures, and she is the one who has been trying to convince me to get a great camera because they capture the moments of the little ones' lives so quickly. If any of you have children, you know that they don't sit STILL!!! Not for one second! If you have a great camera that can capture things in the blink of an eye, mixed with the knowledge of what makes a great photo, I can only imagine the wonderful memories that can be created to last a lifetime. I am looking forward to my new camera!
