Week 13 Digital Photography Assignment - Portraits

This is a portrait of my youngest daughter.

The hardest part of doing any portrait for me is the lighting, if I am doing them inside. I can't  move my flash or point it in a different direction and I really do not like what a flash does with the lighting, in most cases. It tends to distort things and add deeper shadows than there should be. To get this shot I actually held my hand about 3 inches in front of my flash with my fingers slightly open so that I could get the slash of light across the eyes.
Basically it was lots of trial and error and lots of shots. But I was pretty happy with the outcome so it was worth it.

My Photo of The Day November 17th, 2010

One of the first times we took our Jeep out on the trails. It was a blast and certainly showed us what we needed to do to our Jeep in order to make it through some of the more challenging trails.

My Photo of The Day November 16th, 2010


I am absolutely terrified of spiders, but didn't let it stop me from capturing this shot with my very first digital camera. This all I could do with the photo with my first camera, my first editing program, and my very limited experience. I may re-post this shot on another day after I have run it through Photoshop.
