I, by the way, don't have much business BEING in the "land of photography" -- I'm more like an annoying visitor there, I'm sure.
I have taken one online class (The Photographer's Workshop - found HERE), which I have mentioned (and highly recommended!) here before, but truth be told .... I still have at least a third of that material to finish, so I'm kind of a photography flunky at this point, I guess you could say!
This week, though .... I was thrilled (and kind of scared out of my mind) to take some senior photos for my adorable niece Mackenzie. She and her mom assured me it was "just for fun", so we did have a whole lot of FUN -- and we got some pretty good shots out of the deal, too (at least I think so!).
Here are some of my favorites.....
What do you think....? (And I'm not just fishing for compliments here ... I'd love some constructive criticism!)
And this little photo shoot wasn't the only big photography-related venture around here this week .... I also FINALLY got brave enough to try out my Photoshop Elements program! (I am SO clueless, and I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing .... but I'm having fun trying!)
I'll post some more about this later in the week .....
But for now -- if YOU have some favorite photos you'd like to share this week, please head over to Sweet Little Gals for the Sweet Little Photo Swap!
Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous subject! The settings are very pretty too. :). I love the pictures....one thing that I noticed was the top of her head gone in each one. I know nothing about photography past what I learned in high school though!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Bec. See you soooon. Argh
Great job Bec!! The last one was my favorite. I love how the background is so faded and your niece stands out so much in the picture. I bought a photography book a couple months ago and haven't even opened it yet. Can't wait to see what you've been doing in photoshop Elements. :)
