I ♥ Faces- Flowers

So I took this adorable picture of my cousin's new baby a couple weekends ago and it works perfectly for this weeks I ♥ Faces challenge. It was so fun to have the flowers with the green grass, especially since she is a spring baby.

Go here to check out other shots for the challenge or even the other cool photo tips.

New Assignment

So now that my photo class is over I won't have weekly assignments anymore, but in hopes that I still use my camera every week I will continue to have 'assignments'. This week's assignments comes from my brother.
  • Silhouettes
Should be a fun one. If anyone else want to suggest assignments, or even wants to join me on taking pictures each week I would love to see them.

Baby Shots

So this is just a preview cause I'm still working on going through all the shots, but my cousin was kind enough to let me take pictures of here adorable little 3 week old this past weekend. I'll post some of my favorites once I get them edited.

Photo Class week 5

So tonight was our last photo class. I'm a little sad, cause it means that it's over. We spent the first part of class critiquing the images from our last assignments. Once again my teacher was very impressed with the pictures that I took. He complimented me on my ability to capture things a little differently again. It's always nice to hear that something you've done is good. The second part of class was spent putting all our pictures together in our portfolios. We laid out all the pictures from the class and one that we had from before and our teacher sorted through them and told us were to place them in our books. It was kind of cool to watch him put our books together. I was actually really happy with the end result. The class was an overall success. Now hopefully I can continue to work on my photography even though I'm not in the class. Stay tuned for more pictures! :)

Photo Class- Assignment 8

The second assignment for my photo class this week was cowboy hats. Fortunately for me my roommates boyfriend brought over a few of his hats. It was kind of fun to take pictures of them and I think I ended up with a couple that I like. I also learned how to do borders in photoshop that are kind of fun.

Photo Class- Assignment 7

The first assignment for my photo class this week was buildings at night. I decided to take picture of some of the downtown buildings when I was down there after the baseball game the other night. I think they turned out okay... not my favorite, but okay.

Photo Class week 4

Class went really well tonight. My teacher was really happy with all of the pictures I took at the Japanese Friendship Garden on Saturday. He even told me that he was really impressed with how I was very focused and direct about what I was taking pictures of. He told me that some people just take tons of pictures, but that I seemed to be a little more deliberate. It was a big compliment, and it's always nice to hear that your pictures are liked. He also liked my fruit ones. I loved seeing what other people did and I wish sometimes that I could take pictures and show you some of them. It's amazing how creative some people are. Anyways I got my last two assignments this week. I can't believe it, but our last class is next week. Well the assignments are:
  • Buildings at night
  • Cowboy hat
I think both of these will stretch me a little, but that's the point of taking the class.
