ClicknMoms Photography Workshop Week 1

Well I have finally done it. Decided to sign up and take the time to learn the basics of shooting in manual. I felt it was important for me to learn the basics and get a good foundation. I know how it works but it is always good to get a class and feel more confident in my work.

So this weeks class is on the triangle of manual shooting. So we are doing shots in manual and adjusting our aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings. As we are doing this we are also learning about metering in the camera and to get the exposure to O.

My first attempt was with Molly in the late afternoon. I took wonderful pictures of her. But when I uploaded them to Flickr, I realized they looked a little off. So I rechecked the settings on my camera and noticed that I had it set on the lowest resolution. So that for sure isn't going to work!! Here are the four of Molly I was going to use. I have to have an outdoor, indoor, window light, and optional.






Of course after realizing my mistake I was very frustrated but I woke up this morning and had a little photo shot with JuJu. She is not in the mood for pics at all lately but I tried to bribe her with chocolate. I felt like one of those moms on toddlers and tiaras! I think they turned out good. I am learning a lot and getting more confident in my ability to shoot in manual. Also have a great time while doing it.

Here are my final shots of JuJu. Oh I forgot to mention, all shots are SOOC, Straight out of the camera. We are not aloud to edit them or shot in RAW, Jpegs only.

Enjoy!
