I've been studying f-stops, depth of field, shutter speed, ISO and composition. I'm learning a lot, but I'm struggling to fit it all in. I'm half-way through my class and we have a break this coming week. Sadie and Cassidy seem to be my most cooperative subjects. At least the slowest moving ones, which is something I need right now. Cooperation. :) The above are just a few of my recent experiments. I think my fav is the one where Sadie stole the show and sat right down in front of me while I was taking pictures of Sean and the kids working on the bike. You would think she would be tired of me taking pictures of her.
Yay!! I'd been waiting over a month for a new post hahah :)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful pictures, Elaine!! Wow, you must be really proud of what you can do and the progress you've made. ..And of your out-of-this-world-sweet-and-amazing children and husband haha :)
My two favourites are the one of Cassidy reading with the glasses on, and the one of Xander throwing the baseball - Such awesomely special moments you captured. :)
Oh - And the little email exchange with the girls is awesome by the way!!! :) They're so sweet. The "I love you" email from Heidi just a couple days ago really made my day and reminded me that I need to slow down the stress and enjoy the little things in life. Too stressed about school, but life is great otherwise. :) I'm so happy and thankful that although we are so far away from each other and don't get to visit often, they know that we are family and i LOVE them so much. I'm really hoping to visit again within the next year or two. If I weren't so caught up in student loans because of my Master's program, I'd have a trip booked right now. But I'll keep working hard and keep my fingers crossed. :) In the meantime - I really appreciate you taking the time to blog and keep us all updated! Puts a big smile on my face and warms my heart.
Love you!! xoxo
Love you, Sophie. Lots. Lots. Lots. XOXO
