Photography Week 4

I'm back! I had a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of food and family. I didn't really feel like blogging last week, I didn't even feel like reading blogs. I'll be posting the giveaway this week since I was a slacker last week.

Here is the lesson for the next week. Have fun taking picture and practicing. Reed and I took Addie out during the weekend for a fun photo shoot. I think we came away with some really fun pictures. The one above is my new favorite.

Week 5: Composition

Week 1 homework

Well week one is complete. I had a lot of fun going out in the little garden area next to my apartment to test out what I learned from last weeks lesson. In this first week I learned about aperture, or how blurry your picture is.

Here is the first picture. Straight out of the camera, set on automatic.

Here is the next picture notice how the background gets fuzzy.

Here is the last picture with my aperture set as low as my camera can go, it is almost all blur.

Here is the link to this weeks lesson. If you haven't started yet you have plenty of time. The lessons only take a few minutes to read and you learn a ton from them.

Week Two: ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture

Week 1 first try

Here is some of my homework for lesson 1. This is the straight out of the camera shoot. Look at that blurry background, I love it.

Favorite Thing

As we were driving home tonight we saw a full rainbow. I don't remember the last time I saw a full rainbow. Of course I didn't have my camera and by the time we got home it wasn't as bright, but still lovely.
I'm linking this post to The Finer Things Friday.

Wish we were still Here...

Photo Face

I took Addie to Thanksgiving Point Gardens yesterday for the last 2 Buck Tuesday. I like to do a big photo shoot of her every few months to see how she's growing. This picture sums them all up. I think she looked at the camera about 3 times.

Lunch Review

A few months ago my husband and I headed to downtown Salt Lake to a new hamburger place called The Counter, located on the south end of the Gateway mall. The Counter is a gourmet burger joint where you can create your own burger from a large list of available options. The above picture is the half-eaten burger my husband ordered. Which he enjoyed eating but had a hard time creating. For my husband the choices list was to long, he couldn't decided which sauce would taste good with which topings or which cheese to choose. I felt like the prices where to high for just a burger, a good burger, but a burger none the less. I did however enjoy the sweet potato fries very much. If we do go there again I will probably just order the fries and save a little dough.
