Week 2 of Photography Class

So when Liz and I were blessed with Blakely, we decided to get a new camera and had a great photographer come over take 6 months pictures of Blakely. Our photographer, Amber, was a high school friend of Liz's and was very open the numerous questions I was asking about photography. In the midst of our discussion, Amber mentioned that she was planning on starting an online class to answer the exact questions I was asking. A year later, here I am in week 2 of this very informative class. Visit www.fifephotography.com is you need a good photographer and are in the Oklahoma area!I would have liked to blur the background a bit more in this photo so it would be less distracting. It was on f5.6 so this is what I got! This week I would crank it down to 2.8 cause I like the bokeh effect.

This weeks class was focused the composition principle of Breaking a Pattern. It seemed like a lot of the patterns shown where of brick so I struggled to find another pattern to break. When I finally settled on my daughters crib, it was dark out and there was no natural light. I decided to bring up my fish tank light for the first attempt but the images all had a blue tint to them because one of the lights is blue. I waited until the second day to try to take the images when it was a bit more natural light and I am pretty happy with the image.
