Week 4...Photo Basics

       I would ike to apologize for not being able to post any pictures this week...Our Week has been filled with prayers for our two month old nephew who was admitted in the hospital for stage 3 liver failure..so my husband left to help his brother leaving me to hold down the fort.
       This week was filed with running girlsto dance altering dance costumes and managing my moms store as she was down with a horrible cold..so unforunately i was unable to get my assignment down..i do apologize for not getting this done but my plate was spilling off..i hope to get my next week assignment done for our catch up week..
       Btw my nephew had surgery this morning and is looking more postive for at this time, but will eventually need a liver transplant. He will still remain in hospital for another month to heal from this first surgery. Then gain strength in the next year for his Liver transplant..I ask you to keep him in your prayers as he has a long road ahead of him..

Week 3 Compostion
This week we learnt all about compostion and the do's and dont'. This was fun cause i found myself trying to be a little more creative then trying to snap a shot.. so here are my photos that i snapped...

My first picture is from my daughters Ballet exam .
They go in a group of 4. They were warming up prior to their exam and thought this was so neat.
 I loved how i could see the row of feet..

Week 2 Assignment..Shutter speed

   This week felt like i was being caught in Shutter speed. It was definitly a busy week..But I did manage to get my home work done. I had some many images to choose from but the ones i choose i thought were a little out of the box...

My first image is my son Graham Jumping in puddles..this is quite amazing considering our area recieved 5 inches of snow just this past Tuesday..crazy how our weather can change in a matter of days...

 Graham Jumping in a puddle     froze action up and down   my setting   1/500 f20

Since dance season is fast approaching I was Fitting costumes so I thought this would make a great

opportunity to use this as an action shot.. Trying to think out of the box.

my settings   f/10 1/20

Here is my panning shot..again trying to think out of the box..I realze what i am shooting is a small pink ball and it is very hard to focus just on that but i thought it was worth a try..my husband was trying to get rid of a old wasp nest . i have posted two pictures since i did have trouble with this one..

My settings  f/25 1/20

 

Here is my daughter Brittany helping me show action frozen fowards.

My settings 1/250 f/5
