Father Daughter Dance Continued

7/3/2013

0 Comments

 
I am finally done editing the photos from the Father Daughter dance.  It took me longer than I would have liked, but I blame the move whole heartedly ;)

Below are just a few more highlights from the event.  I really enjoyed doing it.  What could be better than getting to capture a bunch of little girls dressed up like princesses?  So much fun.

I did a session this morning as part of my volunteering for the city of an artist in the park.  They are hosting painting classes by a lake in a couple months and wanted photos to use in flyers and brochures.

I spent my morning volunteering my photography skills at an Easter run in Denver.  It was a long morning that started at 6:45am.  It will take me a couple of days to sort through & edit the photos, but here's a preview.

Happy Easter!

Engagement Session

3/24/2013

I had my first shadowing experience last weekend.  I was able to tag along on an engagement session by a local Denver photographer.  I observed mostly, but did manage to snap a couple shots.  I mostly tried to stay out of the way though, while I learned her rhythm.  This usually resulted in me being in the completely opposite from ideal spot, so my photos are no where near what I'm sure hers will be.  I'm anxious to see her final photos so I can figure out her vision behind some of the areas she posed the couple in.  

I'm always still amazed when photographers just know what camera settings they need to change to.  As we walked from inside to outside, from dimly lit to naturally lit, to taking photos in front of windows, etc. she never missed a beat.  I know that professional photographers have to be able to just roll with it and not spend anytime staring at the back of their camera (or risking that they've got it wrong!).  These women had decades of experience on me, so I'm not too hard on myself, but its definitely a goal to work towards.  

One minor thing I picked up on, the photographer kept telling the groom-to-be to "take up more of your space" and she would motion for him to put his shoulders back.  He had a habit of slouching around his bride-to-be, which in person I didn't notice or think to look for, but as I wen through my photos I noticed that it made a big difference in resulting photos.  It's just something minor, but I thought that was a very good tip that made a difference and I may not have known to watch for it otherwise.

Here are a couple of my shots.  Fingers crossed she finds more things for me to tag along to so I can get more practice!

Woohoo!  Last week of photography class!  Above were a couple photos from the week prior.  I'm excited to find more opportunities to practice as the weather warms up.  I've volunteered to photograph an Easter 5K and egg hunt at the end of next month in downtown Denver.  I'm also trying to get involved with the local community center to do some volunteer photography.  Fingers crossed!

This Week

Today was my second to last Photography 1 class.  I've been learning a lot.  The tips I've picked so far are invaluable.  However, I have to say that the photos I've produced from the class so far have not been too pretty though.  Most of the time I'm practicing a skill more than I am worrying about my subject matter.

This next week we're printing our photos though and will view the class photos in a gallery style setup.  I'm feeling very non-artistic at the moment, so this challenge is a little nerve wracking.  Wish me luck!

Sunday Hike

Jason and I decided we had to get out of the house on Sunday and do something.  We decided to try a new hiking place, since the weather was so pretty.  I am still not used to the temperature swings between our house and the nearby mountains.  As you can guess, as you start climbing in altitude it gets colder.  I seem to always underestimate it, which was the case yesterday.  I ended up stealing Jason's gloves aIt was a beautiful, and quick, hike though, and as long as you stayed out of the wind the temperature wasn't too bad.  The weather is only going to keep getting prettier, so I'm looking forward to exploring more spots in the upcoming months.

Panning on a moving object so that its in focus, but the background is blurry, is new to me.  We took General out this weekend so I could work on it.  I still need some work obviously, but it was fun to try!

My attempt at getting out there and playing with my camera this week.  This is going to be a challenge!  I promise to try not to have a picture of my dog each week, but there's only so much to photograph around the house and he's pretty cute.
