Both of us are in school. It's easy peasy...lemon squeezy. Both working too...that's it.
I've also begun my first real hobby, other than the time when I collected and traded rocks in elementary school. I bought a camera (Nikon D80) about a month ago and I've finally put it to use! Thank you Danielle for asking me to take your pictures! I was SO nervous, but it went pretty well...for my first time, anyway. I don't know much about lighting, but thank goodness for photo correcting programs because those helped the pictures that I took a lot.
I think I got 5 or 6 decent pictures out of the 115 that I took! yyyaayy:) haha! So lame, but I was happy that I got that many. But it really pumped me up to go out and find more models. So, anyone wanting to be my model and let me practice my picture-taking skills, I would be VERY willing.
Here are a few pictures I took. Tell me what you think...be honest. And I think, Larissa, you're the only one who reads this. So be honest:
This is Danielle...she's a trombonist and she has her senior recital in 3 weeks. She asked me to take her picture for her flyers. She knew I needed some practice, but she's so cute! I hope she likes these pictures
her and her trombone. She's a good player
Just a random shot of her...she looks really good at this angle. I have a few other pictures of her from this angle and she's just really photogenic.
here's another one...so the lighting is kind of funny...but I like it, in a way.
just a traditional, senior portrait:)That's it. So anyone want to be my model??

Molly I want to be your model! Like for real, cuz i need mission pictures.
Apparently I'm not the only one who reads your blog. Ok so, I like your pictures, but you asked for constructive criticism so here goes...
Picture 1: The lighting seems a bit weird, but I like the composition.
Picture 2: Not into the classroom background and I think the balance is off. I think you could play with Depth of Field a little more ont this one so the friend and the horn are in focus and the background is more blurry. My friend has a blog where he gives instructions for this, I'll email it to you. Oh, and the indoor lighting is obvious- not lovely colors.
Picture 3: I really like this one (although I think you can see her knee a bit- obviously a little cropping will do that trick).
Picture 4: Cool picture. You already know for the lighting.
Picture 5: Cute standart photo.
Ok, well you wanted honest opinion and you KNOW you'll get them from me. While I might look like a mean big sister, you know I still love you and I'm impressed with your skills and abilities. Wish I had them myself. Keep posting your pictures and don't worry, I won't give an opinion unless you ask for one. :)
I love the one from above! Though it does help that she is naturally gorgeous--not to slam your photography skills... haha! I'm glad married life is going so well for you, and I wish I was nearby so that we could see each other more than every few years!
