First Photo shoot
Yesterday I had my first photo shoot with a friend and her two daughters.
Boy do I have a lot to learn! My amazing friend Genine let me borrow her new Canon 40D and her lenses (85 1.4?, 30mm, and 17-55?). Let's just say for me it was a bad idea to use a brand new camera and lenses in a situation where I really wanted to get the best shots possible. I realized how different cameras and lenses can be. I am very comfortable with my (50mm 1.8 and 100mm) but these new lenses. Ha Ha.
Almost all my shots were blurry. It was pretty frustrating. I did get to salvage some from the hundreds I took.
Then there is editing people. VERY different from editing still lives, flowers etc. I don't like the high contrast look in people the way I am with objects. Their is a lot of playing to be done to find what "look" I like with people.
Here are a few I have been working on.

Hmmm...I'm not sure what happened...I left a comment and then it disappeared...
These portraits are terrific! I'm sure your friend will love them. I know what you mean about trying new equipment. I've had a few frustrating experiences myself. I'm still figuring out my new digital camera! In any case, I think you did a great job with these portraits.
Very exciting...you're off to a new adventure!
love them! I know, I feel the same way about still objects vs. people.
*is that mommy's name Bevon? She looks like a girl I went to HS with.
i LOVE that first one! i'm glad to hear that your stepping forward with portraits. it's a huge learning process, but i'm sure you'll pick it up quickly. it's amazing how much photography has changed as aperture fades into pixels...
Beautiful shots. So fresh. It certainly isn't easy to capture people and you've done gone done it ;) Dang you're good!
Beautiful beautiful new banner....you look like an angel...soft and peaceful! xx
