Day 2

First:


Favorite:


This is her 5 month picture (a few days late). Every month I take a picture of her with a different background. So the first shot was trying to get a full body, which is hard to do with a 50mm w/o standing on a chair. Had to go back to kit lens to get the focal length I wanted, but shot again in 50mm to get a few more candid shots.

Day 2: Up in Smoke

Yes. It's the obligatory smoke shot.

Here's the first one:

Then, a couple of hundred clicks later, I finally got something close to what I wanted:

I had a really hard time with the sharpness on this one, resulting in a f/11 shot by the time I was done.  I'm thinking tomorrow, it might be time to shoot this thing wide open at f/1.8, to ensure that I've got a good copy on my hands.

I Beg Your Pardon...

As I walked by our flower bed into my office this morning, I noticed that the roses were especially pretty today. The longer I sat here doing the bills, the more I wanted to go out and shoot. So I'm going to use my favorite shot on our facebook page, that way I can claim that I was working. :)

Of course, laying out on the ground...right outside the front doors...I'm sure I might have looked a little crazy. But crazy is beautiful, right?

Puppy Love

Though this isn't the first shot I was going for, it's my favorite. Katie can't stand to share the spotlight. lol
